Oh look, all these people in different protests just happened to use the EXACT SAME SIGNS.
 
There's no problem with peaceful protest, but what's going on now is shameful and it's about time these dipshits start getting thrown in jail for a nice extended visit. Start taking the people who destroy property, attack people, block traffic, loot and so forth and put them in jail for 5 or so years and this crap will stop in a hurry.
As long as there are no real consequences these people will continue. I also don't think they realize that their toddler-tantrum-protests actually help Trump.
 
lol. it's always George Soros hiding in your closet, trying to educate your womenfolks, right?

Anything that terrifies you alt-right nutjubs and the erosion of your precious Victorian lifestyles.

It's George Soros! RUN!

I don't like that Soros is funding this shit, but the other thing he's doing is financially profiting from it, not just the US but other countries, the guy is the real world's version of a Bond villain.

Do you have any problem with Bannon & Breitbart profiting from the election?

Still pushing conspiracy theory, huh?

How is that even comparable?

A guy manipulating countries internal politics for personal gain versus a website that dies if it doesn't generate ad income.

lol, when the increasingly fleeting ideas your party continues to have only ever fail, it is best to shift blame to the other side's villains hiding out in their secret lair.

So, is this what he have to look forward to? 4 years of "that Soros is undermining everything the Donald tries to do!"

oh ffs.

You don't think Bannon did this? He didn't manipulate a country's internal politics for personal gain?

Tens of thousands of protesters all over the country are paid professionals? Really?

I didn't give a number. I don't think that is accurate.

Obviously there are some stupid sheep who will follow along with the professionals, but I doubt they would organize anything on their own.
 
On another tack: Trump is talking about the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade. I'm not expecting that to happen, but if it does... if you think the protests going on now are rough, you haven't seen anything yet.

I'm talking protestors preventing authorities from shutting down abortion clinics. I'm talking the kind that would make supporting politicians regret the day they voted for such a backwards move. And don't be surprised if numerous states simply refuse to obey any federal anti-choice measures. The US is not sliding back into the darkness of coat hanger abortions and forced pregnancies, no matter how much Republicans fantasize about it.

Perhaps those people should have voted.

Bloody, violent revolution.

Or, you know, they could just move to a state that doesn't have laws on the books to block abortion.

I actually am generally pro-choice, but there are much better solutions than resorting to violence.

LOL! It amazes me sometimes what a parody of yourself your 'arguments' against others often are.

You who every other post has a conservative boogyman hiding under your bed! Denying you everything from healthcare to a job to happiness.

Shifting blame... demonizing the other side!? LOL!

Oh so its conservatives out in the street blocking traffic and being jackasses because they didnt like an election result? Riiiiiight.

And that anyone on your side is gonna talk aboit 4 years of...

Hahahahahahahaha!

What? CONSTANT whining?

So your non-fleeting ideas got your ilk all 3 branches and SCOTUS picks huh?

Now go on... shift that blame! Don't for ONE SECOND take a hard look around and realize the right/rep side didnt so much win, as the left/dem side just fucking LOST.. big time... and largrly because of what your post does. Nothing but finger pointing and whining pure hypocrisy. Accusing everyone else of every 'ism you can spew... but never owning up for a second to the jackasses on your side losing it for you.

Well if 800+ polling stations, republicans purging voters, etc. it would've been different. I give the repubs credit where it's due, when you probably won't win, fix the game where you have little to no resistance, state governments.

I'm not suggesting that there will be violence, at least not on the part of the protestors. I certainly hope there won't be. But I don't think Trump and crew understand how foolish it would be to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is a cause where the activists will never, ever back down, and where many people will become activists.

And the "move" idea reminds me of those people who say "if you don't love America the way it is, leave." You might see some people move, but I suspect many will hold their ground and fight for change.
