This 6-Point Explanation Of The Trump Protests Is Breaking The Internet
In the wake of Donald Trump’s shocking electoral college victory last Tuesday, protests have been breaking out across the country every night.
Republicans and establishment Democrats alike have been criticizing the protests, slamming them as a rejection of the democratic process and a refusal to accept the results of our political system.
But Twitter user Moshe Kasher offers a different perspective that must be taken into account; that the protests are in response to the bigotry and hatred that Donald Trump embraces and sending a message to the world that we will not allow this to become the new normal.
1.There’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what these protests are about. No one believes they will effectively stop a Trump inauguration.

2. They are large scale disruptions meant to send a message that the people will not allow bigotry to become normalized.

3. And that if trump governs from that place he will have huge numbers of voters who will resist him, in fact a majority.

4. And it is meant to send me message of solidarity to the targeted groups that are frightened right now- we are with you.

5. And doing nothing always nets nothing. It sends a message that the people are docile and passive and will accept what is to come.

6. Let the new administration imagine a world where 51% of the country is taking advantage of that 2nd amendment the other 49% love so much.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
