    Can someone summarize all these riots the alt-righties keep talking about? Google is only showing me the one in Portland and I don't have enough data to dig around.
    Surely the alt-right wouldn't exaggerate or make things up.

    It is only going on in Portland.
    Yeah, no it's not.

    I am not an "alt-righty", but this did happen here. And, some felt the best way to get their point across was to spray-paint police and civilian cars during these protests.

    Maybe not a full-on riot but still pretty fucked up. These past few months have brought out the worst in some people...fucking idiots in my mind.

    the protesters are idiots. you live in a democracy and you lost. yea it sucks a scumbag is now the President-Elect but no matter how much chanting he is your President Elect. get over it. sometimes in Democracy your guy (or girl) loses.

    It does suck but why can't they exercise their first amendment rights?
    i didn't say they couldn't exercise their rights, they can all they want, but it's utterly pointless. and it's now what 5 straight days of protesting? ok we get it, you don't like the President-elect. your chance to not have that happen has passed. it's not going to change the outcome so if you are that against him put your efforts into making positive change in other ways.
    Maybe if more participation trophies had been handed out...
    i wonder how many of these protesters actually voted that's the first things that comes to my mind

    Probably higher rate than the national average.
    More than 1/2 of the Oregon protesters/rioters who were arrested didn't vote (either weren't registered, or didn't turn in ballots): http://www.king5.com/news/local/more-than-half-of-arrested-anti-trump-protesters-didnt-vote/352135876

    That's what I would figure. The original statement was about the protesters, not the ones rioting. These are different groups using the same space.

    Yup. Just providing a data point. It's the only one I've seen so far. I would suspect that the protesters voted in higher than average numbers, and rioters in lower than average numbers. I don't think we'll ever see good numbers, because the only reason we have this one data point is that it was based off of names of arrested people. In general protesters aren't getting arrested. Some protesters probably get caught up in the mob mentality, and become rioters. The actual protesters won't show up on any lists which could be cross referenced with voter records.

    So productive.
    As are these "protesters" that are acting like spoiled brats that didn't get a trophy. They must just be exercising their white privilege by rioting several days straight and not having to go to work or school the next morning. Productive members of society obviously.
    Try not to perpetuate the intergenerational divide with this crap. It's one way Sanders lost and how we got trump.
    When have I ever come across as a fan of Bernie Sanders? Your white privilege must have lead you to believe that.

    I don't know if you're a Sanders fan. My point is conservatives criticized his policies with crap about kids wanting free stuff, thinking they'd have a republican candidate that can function like an adult. They know in 4 years we'll have Sanders on roids now.

    Republican "President". Sanders on roids, lol, that's golden! Sanders didn't lose because of the republicans. Sanders lost because of Hillary and the state of the Democratic Party. Hillary lost because of republicans and the state of the Democratic Party.

    Stereotyping groups of protestors is never a good idea. Maybe they can't afford college our maybe they can't find a job. Believe it or not those people do live in America.
    You're right, I shouldn't lump all of them into the same categories. There is probably a good mix of diverse unproductive individuals in that group. These "protests" in general are pretty unproductive in that productive people disregard them as a bunch of crybabies. Funny how looting and rioting have become a staple of "progressive protests".
    So, many Trump supporters said from the get go that if he lost they would do the same thing. Are they also losers in your mind, or woukd they be taking their government and how it is elected to task, possibly promoting change?

    The vast majority of the protests are non violent. There will always be idiots that join just for the looting. It wouldn't matter if it was Shaolin monks, someone would be throwing a tv through a window. Why are you only focusing on the fringe? This is the very thing you criticized when people called all trump supporters racists and misogynysts. Why are all of your stances one way streets?

    And all protesters are do nothing unproductives? Really? You do realize not everyone works 9-5, right?

    Flight Risk out NOW!

    Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. The next dem pres in four years will be Sander-like. Republicans who thought trump wouldn't get the nom had their criticisms of Sanders carry over into a pro-trump argument. Pro trumpers used that argument to criticize the younger generation.

    You are absolutely right. Most of those people are probably great people with great ideas, just like the ones that voted for Trump. The rioters and people breaking car windows are unproductive asshats that are only succeeding in solidifying the perceptions that many have against the protesters as a whole. They are no better than the people on the right that usually make the news feeds.

    the protesters are idiots. you live in a democracy and you lost. yea it sucks a scumbag is now the President-Elect but no matter how much chanting he is your President Elect. get over it. sometimes in Democracy your guy (or girl) loses.

    It does suck but why can't they exercise their first amendment rights?
    i didn't say they couldn't exercise their rights, they can all they want, but it's utterly pointless. and it's now what 5 straight days of protesting? ok we get it, you don't like the President-elect. your chance to not have that happen has passed. it's not going to change the outcome so if you are that against him put your efforts into making positive change in other ways.
    Maybe if more participation trophies had been handed out...
    i wonder how many of these protesters actually voted that's the first things that comes to my mind

    Exactly, maybe they are upset that they didn't get a "I Voted" sticker
    So productive.

    Stereotyping groups of protestors is never a good idea. Maybe they can't afford college our maybe they can't find a job. Believe it or not those people do live in America.
    You're right, I shouldn't lump all of them into the same categories. There is probably a good mix of diverse unproductive individuals in that group. These "protests" in general are pretty unproductive in that productive people disregard them as a bunch of crybabies. Funny how looting and rioting have become a staple of "progressive protests".
    So, many Trump supporters said from the get go that if he lost they would do the same thing. Are they also losers in your mind, or woukd they be taking their government and how it is elected to task, possibly promoting change?

    The vast majority of the protests are non violent. There will always be idiots that join just for the looting. It wouldn't matter if it was Shaolin monks, someone would be throwing a tv through a window. Why are you only focusing on the fringe? This is the very thing you criticized when people called all trump supporters racists and misogynysts. Why are all of your stances one way streets?

    And all protesters are do nothing unproductives? Really? You do realize not everyone works 9-5, right?

    You are absolutely right. Most of those people are probably great people with great ideas, just like the ones that voted for Trump. The rioters and people breaking car windows are unproductive asshats that are only succeeding in solidifying the perceptions that many have against the protesters as a whole. They are no better than the people on the right that usually make the news feeds.
    Trump voters have great ideas? Like what?

    Like how to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House? I'm sure there are many more, but you turn everything into a white privilege conversation and I don't want to derail from the conversation about the white privileged rioters.

    Does one not have the right to counter protest the protesters in a non-violent way? As you said earlier, it is not a one way street. There are plenty that believe abortion is morally wrong, that the 2nd Amendment is important, etc, etc. Yet, they get called bigot racists because they voted for the anti-Hillary.

    Like how to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House? I'm sure there are many more, but you turn everything into a white privilege conversation and I don't want to derail from the conversation about the white privileged rioters.
    I figured it would be too much of a stretch for you to come up with a great trump voter idea.
    Lol, are you saying that no Trump voters have good ideas? That's nieve, just like me saying that all Clinton voters are jobless freeloaders. I know you are being facetious, as have I been several times today...blame white privilege I guess.
    No. i said to identify one.

    the protesters are idiots. you live in a democracy and you lost. yea it sucks a scumbag is now the President-Elect but no matter how much chanting he is your President Elect. get over it. sometimes in Democracy your guy (or girl) loses.

    It does suck but why can't they exercise their first amendment rights?
    i didn't say they couldn't exercise their rights, they can all they want, but it's utterly pointless. and it's now what 5 straight days of protesting? ok we get it, you don't like the President-elect. your chance to not have that happen has passed. it's not going to change the outcome so if you are that against him put your efforts into making positive change in other ways.
    Maybe if more participation trophies had been handed out...
    i wonder how many of these protesters actually voted that's the first things that comes to my mind

    Exactly, maybe they are upset that they didn't get a "I Voted" sticker
    So productive.
    As are these "protesters" that are acting like spoiled brats that didn't get a trophy. They must just be exercising their white privilege by rioting several days straight and not having to go to work or school the next morning. Productive members of society obviously.
    Stereotyping groups of protestors is never a good idea. Maybe they can't afford college our maybe they can't find a job. Believe it or not those people do live in America.
    You're right, I shouldn't lump all of them into the same categories. There is probably a good mix of diverse unproductive individuals in that group. These "protests" in general are pretty unproductive in that productive people disregard them as a bunch of crybabies. Funny how looting and rioting have become a staple of "progressive protests".
    So, many Trump supporters said from the get go that if he lost they would do the same thing. Are they also losers in your mind, or woukd they be taking their government and how it is elected to task, possibly promoting change?

    The vast majority of the protests are non violent. There will always be idiots that join just for the looting. It wouldn't matter if it was Shaolin monks, someone would be throwing a tv through a window. Why are you only focusing on the fringe? This is the very thing you criticized when people called all trump supporters racists and misogynysts. Why are all of your stances one way streets?

    And all protesters are do nothing unproductives? Really? You do realize not everyone works 9-5, right?

    You are absolutely right. Most of those people are probably great people with great ideas, just like the ones that voted for Trump. The rioters and people breaking car windows are unproductive asshats that are only succeeding in solidifying the perceptions that many have against the protesters as a whole. They are no better than the people on the right that usually make the news feeds.

    A coworker that voted for Trump said I should really try this new BBQ joint in town...GREAT IDEA!!! National concealed carry reciprocity, Hearing Protection Act. Of course anything I mention is relative to our opinions on the matter...so where are you trying to go with this?

    Can someone summarize all these riots the alt-righties keep talking about? Google is only showing me the one in Portland and I don't have enough data to dig around.
    Surely the alt-right wouldn't exaggerate or make things up.

    It is only going on in Portland.
    Yeah, no it's not.

    I am not an "alt-righty", but this did happen here. And, some felt the best way to get their point across was to spray-paint police and civilian cars during these protests.

    Maybe not a full-on riot but still pretty fucked up. These past few months have brought out the worst in some people...fucking idiots in my mind.

    The RIOTS are only in Portland. That link you supplied, that is not a riot.

    Why Hasn’t Hillary Clinton Denounced The Violent Anti-Trump Riots?

    Media badgered Donald Trump for days to denounce the violent rioters. Why haven't they demanded the same of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?

    1) Who cares?
    2) Why should anyone demand anything from her now?
