"People have to die" - Post-election protests
2016-11-10
Thousands of protesters took to the streets several major urban centers in America Wednesday night to protest the results of the presidential election.

Chants of "Not My President" echoed off skyscrapers in New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington DC – all cities easily carried by Democrat Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

CNN cameras caught one protester named Lily in Los Angeles who proclaimed:

"If we don't fight, who is going to fight for us? People had to die for your freedom where we're at today. We can't just do rallies, we have to fight back. There will be casualties on both sides. There will be, because people have to die to make a change in this world. Trump, enough with your racism. Stop splitting families. Don't split my family."


These kind of vitriolic and violent protests in the streets over the result of a presidential election are rather unprecedented in America, but given the over-the-top rhetoric drummed up y Hillary Clinton and her allies over the past several months, it's somewhat understandable, isn't it?

Think about it for a minute. The Clinton campaign had an assembly of this country's elites from every possible institution lined up on her side. We have been inundated with out political elites, financial elites, academic elites, entertainment elites and media elites telling us that Donald Trump is basically Hitler. And millions of people believed them.

If you woke up Wednesday morning and you learned that a "basket of deplorables" just elected a racist, fascist dictator to lead your country, you'd probably be pretty upset about it.

For all of the commentary over the past several months about the Trump campaign's "violent, dangerous and un-American" rhetoric, there was barely any thought given to the dangerous outcome related to the Democrats' dire warnings about a Trump victory.

Yet another failure of the mainstream media during this historic campaign season.

Predictions I made after the primaries were, "If Hillary wins, we'll have civil war. If Trump wins, we will have massive domestic disturbances and violence."

The left and the MSM have created these brownshirts and have shown that laws are not to be followed. These folks WILL strike out in their little 3yo rages and unfortunately, innocent people will be hurt and killed.

Just one warning to these snowflakes. Just remember the rest of the US is sick of your shit. We have the guns, we have the combat vets and we have the organization. Don't fuck with us. A heated debate is welcome. Violence will be met with violence. And you will lose.

#13  I keep reading how LGB community is afraid and I think "Gay Billionaire gave a speach at the convention to introduce Trump, what are they talking about". Of course I ignored the VP and that is the only thing that makes sense, that at simple paranoia of the big bad conservatives.

#12  RJschwarz: I think you're right, I've seen some fear-mongering about how Pence supports "Reprogramming" LGBQT to "Fix them". Don't really know validity of claims, never heard them before the election. But I already know somebody took his words out of context.

#11  rj, Democrats also use that trick. See Joe "Whiz kid" Biden.

#10  The thing about Trump/Pence is most of the left would be terrified of Pence even more than Trump.

A typical Republican trick to limit attempts upon the President (see Quale/Cheney).

#8  Many of the protestors are college students. Universities are no longer about higher education, they are now socialist indoctrination centers that turn kids into socialist brown shirts.

#6  Guess the Secret Service is going to be busy chasing threats. Oh wait,... these aren't working middleclass Americans.

Never mind.

#5  Adults In Name Only - what a bunch of soft, crybaby sore losers. Like Procopius2k said yesterday, to them it's only 'consent of the governed' if they get their way. Our side had to deal wit it twice in recent years; now it's your turn (to grow the fuck up).

#4  Dont get too excited. The grant money /scholarship /parental patience dries up, most of these special snowflakes will have to leave school and get a life. Sic transit gloria mundi.

If there is reform of the student loan programs, this will be sped up considerably.
