US: Post Election Protests [#NotMyPresident Protests, #J20 General Strike]

[grarpamp]

They can protest all they want, that's free speech.
And the issues are generally relavant / valid.
But they have no right legally or otherwise to be commiting
acts of physical violence upon other humans or causing
damage to others property. Doing that, and generally
acting like assholes, will and has got them delegitimized
by the people they're protesting against. Now it's mostly
just warm fuzzies for themselves, their backers and
their moderates.
Many of these 'liberal' protests in their blue dominated city
limits perhaps didn't vote and don't seem to be protest in red
regions. And both Clinton or Obama haven't said anything to stop it.
Bottom line, whatever their causes of the day are, they had
four years to work them into a vote. And ever since the primaries
to wage against any candidate too. Vote happened, and as
it appear nothing about the vote / process has made it to
any court lawsuit to date, they seem to have lost fair and square.
290 to 228 of the book, and only lead 0.49% of popular cast
between them. You can't always get what you want.
The presidency is one person take all, they know that.
Did they invest their half in Congress, apparently not either.
Another thing seems clear, both before and after election it
wasn't the right being mass violent and disrespecting the law
and the vote. Nor is it likely right would have if the right lost.
Last, US has been moving progressivly forward on its own
for decades, that's not changing, nor is punching people
out and damaging shit likely to speed it up, at all.
It would be different if left were a desperate 20% minority
last ditch with no other options but death. The situation sucks,
but there are likely other options all around. And they might
already being adopted..
