    Are simply controlled opposition. Who is funding them, I am not 100% sure. But they reek of something that is funded by a cabal of super wealthy.

    I'm not sure how much of this is true. I couldnt find any stats on voter turn out broken down by age, but millenials overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders, not Hillary Clinton. I'm guessing some didnt vote at all and the ones who did weren't voting for Hillary, but against Trump. I havent seen any millenials embrace the corruption of the DNC or Hillary Clinton. The baby boomers (the left ones anyways) were the only generation I came across that really embraced Hillary.

    Maybe the protestors/rioters are all millenials, I dont know. I doubt it, but either way I have no idea how you can blame this entire situation on millenials when if what millenials really wanted came true, Bernie Sanders would be our president. Millenials supported a man of integrity who wanted to build bridges.

    I am in my early 30s, most of my friends are between 25 -35, and I think you could probably have an open minded, intelligent discusssion with any of us. I wonder if youve really tried to converse with millenials and been shut down, or if you're buying into stereotypes pushed by internet memes. None of the millenials I know fit the stereotype.

    Maybe college age millenials fit the stereotype, i dont really know any. But if they do, they're also still kids. We were all idiots in college.

    He pissed off no one save those who want socialism in our country! Every socialist country in history has become a communist dictatorship. Our election system is the greatest in the world, and in what other country does a white billionaire move into government housing that was just vacated by a black man!? GO MR. PRESIDENT TRUMP!

    Sir, have you ever rendered thought that true PATRIOTIC AMERICANS are disgusted by the thought of globalization! We DO NOT WANT TO BE GOVERNED by the UN nor any other conglomerate of foreign nations! Wars have been fought in the name of freedom to maintain our nations sovereignty! Patriotic Americans like it that way!

    Obama DID promote violence, by not squashing riots disguised as protests, by interfering with the jurisdiction of local courts, by not admonishing violence against LEO'S, by not being a peacemaker among the LEGAL citizens, by issuing executive orders contrary to our laws, by inviting middle eastern refugees into our country who we have no way of doing background checks on, by governing from the ghetto, and by that I mean, by injecting racial controversy into every decision he made! He erased almost every forward step the civil rights movement made!

    I doubt most of the attendees of these protests are being paid. Most of them are just dupes who think they're part of some grassroots protest, when these protests have the hallmarks of being carefully planned by some group which is more than likely linked to George Soros.

    Trump turned Republican in 2008 and supported McCain for President.

    I don't have time to get into anymore...maybe later tomorrow.

    Yes it does. Create strife and turmoil.

    Divide and conquer.

    I could post similar stuff done by the right. The local high school just suspended a group of white males for marching through the school with Trump signs chanting white power.

    Who knows what Trump's supporters would have done if Hillary had won? He was telling them that the election was rigged, and with wikileaks and Coomey getting into the act, I think it was--in Trump's favor. Comparisons to elections past are beside the point. I think we need to realize that this was not a normal election. This wasn't like Obama versus McKane in 2008 or Obama versus Romney in 2012. The candidates were different and the stakes are different. Obama, McKane and Romney, whatever their faults, were always civil--McKane correcting a supporter at a rally who accused Obama of of being a Muslim. Trump, on the other hand, fanned the flames of the Birther movement, and was coy and half-hearted about repudiating it. The candidates in 2016 tied with each other for the lowest disapproval ratings in the history of polling--69% each as I recall at last count. The ran probably the nastiest, viciously negative campaigns in my memory. And the stakes were different. In the past two elections, it was mainly about "the economy, stupid". In 2016, attacks on outgroups were a prominent feature of the Trump campaign--references to Mexican rapists and Islamic terrorism, deporting Mexicans and banning Muslims from entering the country, not to mention the personal attacks on Megan Kelly Judge Curiel and the Kahns. Racism and sexism are things I have difficulty compromising on. The disclosures about Trump's treatment of women makes it hard for me to respect him as my President. (I feel the same about Bill). Add to that my concerns about the nature of the movement he has spawned. Trump is the prototypical demagogue--making irresponsible appeals to the worst instincts of the American electorate. I've expressed my concerns about disturbing parallels to fascist movements: appeals to white nationalism, targeting of minorities, appeals to the Führerprinzip that only he can lead us to greatness. I don't intend to demonstrate much less riot, and will give him the benefit of the doubt because he did win the election according to the rules; I'd be pissed if his supporters did that if Hillary had one. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I must say I'm not optimistic.

    We even have Muslims for Trump, or at least one. Trying for the Guiness Book of World Records, along with Jews for Hitler?
