As a progressive democrat I think the protesting is abhorrent behavior. If the right burnt Hillary effigies has she won, it would be all about sexism... I voted for Bernie in the primaries AND the general. I picked my President last fall when I saw the inspirational message that Bernie Sanders brought. Trump won, get over it. Don't blame the #bernieorbust crowd, if you want to blame someone - blame the DNC for giving us a lame racehorse. Hillary lost because SHE is a Clinton. She lost because of corruption and illegal activity prosecuted or not. She is a liar, a cheat, and nobody can discount that. She might as well be a reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. The people do not want to give more power to the establishment, unfortunately the nationalists won out over the egalitarianists, hopefully though egalitarianism can find it's way back into America. The article mentions us 'sheep' being 'stupid' -- but we're not stupid enough to NOT see through the lies and falsity that is Clinton.. I honestly think Trump simply said what he knew Republicans wanted to hear to anger them and get elected. He might temper and actually be an okay President... or he might be stunted by congress every step of the way and be the 'break' we need from Dem control to regroup and put a more progressive front up in 2020. I know for one thing - change is in the air, that change can be in the style of Hitler, or the style of FDR, sadly we didn't pick the FDR candidate, but we'll have another chance in 2020.

I can discount that: if the issue was her being a liar and a cheat, then we wouldn't have elected a liar and a cheat—but we did. So apparently it isn't the stumbling block you think it is.

> I know for one thing - change is in the air, This is basically my take on it. I preferred Trump over Hilary even though I think both candidates were terrible, and the reason is because we know what we're getting with Hilary, we have no idea what we're getting with Trump. You hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but atleast it's a change. Obama ran on change and ended up not being the change people voted him in to be. Maybe Trump will be it, maybe not. We'll find out.
