I don’t know man, I’m still an amateur on this whole scene, admittedly. I do know that when my loved ones are put at risk I’m not just going to shrug and say, “guess this is just how it’s gonna be, voters voted for it.” It’s unsurprisingly feeling just like the last time Trump was in power. I happen to be of a demographic that is at minimal risk personally, but my neighbors are being threatened and their property has been vandalized with hate speech. They’re scared to leave the house. I’ve got family and friends being told they don’t deserve to have the same rights as everyone else and targeted by open acts of hatred. A lot of Americans may have voted in support of this kind of thing, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to just shut up, roll over, and accept it. If that’s considered throwing a tantrum, then okay. I would expect anyone to throw such a tantrum in the same kind of circumstances, including my political opposites.

I see all these comments roasting the protestors, but I’m just glad people are angry. It would have been great if the election went differently, but it didn’t, and we are where we are. Support people getting mad with how things turned out. Stop acting like all these people did nothing until now. I voted, and I’m protesting. I’ll happily welcome non voters in the protests too. Turn your frustration and anger against the people you oppose instead of willing allies.
