It depends on whether one sees it as a chance to destroy the American two faction system of 'government'. I for one would like to know how many PISSED OFF AMERICANS didn't vote for him because they were in support of his ideas, but becaue they knew it would FUCK SHIT UP and MAYBE even turn some prog-libs (still watching the college crowd carefully here) into wild-eyed firebomb tossing radicals. One can ONLY hope. Rr

Violence not a good solution.

These people are very misguided. If anyone, they should be protesting Hillary Clinton, the DNC, John Podesta, her other aides and allies,and the various examples of corruption that have occurred. Do they not realize that the election went the way it did not merely because of the email leaks, but more fundamentally because these corrupt people did things the way they did, and then they chose to talk about that in a medium that at one point they considered secure and safe. Didn't turn out to be, huh?

In, say, 2013, the average Hillary-supporter could have said that she was capable, competent, experienced, and honest, and not risk too much laughter from the rest of us. By late 2016, everything had changed. Do her supporters actually believe that the only problem is the exposure of her, rather than her underlying behavior?

Does anyone actually believe Trump is anything but a bloviating gasbag who told the racist hordes in America what they wanted to hear? Does he even believe his own bullshit - does any politician?

I see no reason to celebrate Trump, just as I would see no reason to celebrate Hillary.

Acting as if her corruption is anything special or particularly out of line is just a farce. Just like all of American politics.
