He is already doing things. Stop trying to tell people theyāre protesting in the wrong way. Most protesters are peaceful, some people just want to break stuff, and yes, theyāre causing problems for the others. But if everybody just hangs out in a park out of the way, nobody else is going to care.
And if you are someone who is going to be extra vulnerable once Trump takes over, and you see that nobody is raising any hell at all . . . how does that feel? That is the other reason for protest.

Youāll have to come to my house in Delaware if you want to see what I do. But you are welcome to do so, honestly.
This video shows how I felt when I saw everyone elseās rage after the election. The last 20 seconds is golden, but the whole thing is channeling my rage, my feelings about how liberal America failed my children, and elected President Trump. bOINGbOING alone is almost certainly the source of thousands of Trump votes, and this isnāt the only site that contributed materially.
I didnāt mean literally, as Iām sure you must be aware.
Thanks for the invite, but rest assured Iāll probably never take you up on it, and not just because of the physical distance.
Lastly, Iām not getting caught up in the blame game; thatās an exercise in futility, and I refuse to play.
There you go, yet again, Marcia, and that, in a nutshell, is why I have no interest whatsoever in a āface to face.ā
I canāt even, so you have a good day.

So protest them. Donāt protest the outcome of a vote.
No. I am Cassandra, I can see the future. And Iāve held off since the election, with the exception of playing defense for the Greens, while everyone else ranted and raved and threw blame on everyone but themselves. You all got your rage in, thereās hundreds of posts and entire threads about how horrible you feel and how itās all everybody elseās fault. I want my say too.
Telling people like me to shut up, when we told you what you were doing that was stupid and counterproductive, is how we got where we are now. At some point people need to hear the truth, as in the video I posted directly above.
Good night everyone, pāraps more tomorrow.
Pretty sure thatās not so much a near certainty as a wild fantasy.

Sentiment reflected; and I started to reply before remembering that I was supposed to be bowing out.
My internal alarm bells are now ringing.

I still donāt understand how youāve come to the conclusion that everyone on the streets is protesting the outcome of the election as some ideological concept. Theyāre protesting Trumpās stated policy agenda and the nationwide torrent of racist sexist bullshit that his election unleashed. But even then, their right to protest against the fact that a fascist has been elected to the nationās highest office is no less legitimate a form of outcry than protesting against tax policy. Itās the only way people have to register their displeasure with the result and emphasize that Trump does not have a mandate to implement his agenda unobstructed.
How does a protest against Steve Bannon being named Trumpās Chief Strategist look any different than an āoutcomeā protest? How does a protest against Trumpās stated policy of āIām going to deport 11 million peopleā look any different than an āoutcomeā protest? Your implication that we should give this guy any breathing room while we wait for his last 18 months of horrific white nationalism to get mainstreamed during this (terrifyingly expedited) transition process is completely dumbfounding.
Besides, if theyāre going to firebomb us for utterly manufactured reasons anyway, why should we care?

Well, the more internal strife and the less competent that fascist is with his administration, the happier I am, really. Canāt say the Rob Ford levels of bumble-fuckery are a surprise given the parallels.
