I believe that this election is possibly unprecedented in US history. I have never seen such an extreme difference in candidates, to the point that the followers of one candidate despise the other. Be that as it may, the reality is that Donald Trump is our new president. Love him or hate him, he is the man, so we better get used to the idea.
This leads me to the protesting and rioting that is taking place in highly Democratic areas. I really have to wonder, do these people actually believe that rioting, violence and vandalism is an appropriate response to their dislike for Mr. Trump? How does spray painting “F*ck Trump“ on someone elses vehicle constitute a reasonable protest?
Trump is our new president, but will not take office until January 20, 2017. Why don’t we simply wait and see what kind of president he will be? Instead of responding to what we think he might do/be, why don’t we wait and then respond to what he is actually doing?
We have been using the electoral vote process for over 200 years and everyone has been pretty much happy with the process. If you don’t like it, then pursue legal (and effective) methods for changing it. Breaking the front window of a local business is hardly a reasonable response to the success of the presidential candidate that you don’t like.
