Honest letter

Great letter ! If these protesters would work towards making America great instead of trying to tear crap up and cause more divide in the nation , it would be a positive thing. They sure are not making the Democratic party look good...

I agree. I'm near Portland and can't get into town. Irony: destroying the businesses of the folks who voted the same way you did.

Where is your law enforcement ? Blocking highways is illegal. I would start calling and raising hell that they need to clear the highways
My brother lives in Portland and he keeps me posted on whats going on.

They are hampered by letting protest happen as it should vs when it is out if hand. They called it and cleared it, but it takes major escalation. Police don't want to wind up on the news because something escalated.

Yup. Knew it. One hand on the protesters and the media will have a field day. Maybe Trump winning is karma on Hilary for screwing people like Bernie over, but yet the riots and hard to control opposition Trump has is karma on him for what he said idk. I don't really believe in karma, but it's possible. Anyone think people won't try to burn down Trump's businesses? I bet it'll be attempted!

See,THATS where the protesters are wrong. They may be turning against their own supporters without even knowing it! THAT needs to stop. I understand maybe setting fire to Trump tower or beating up a car with a trump sticker. Although not right, it's definitely a foreseen consequence. Trump supporters didn't understand what Bernei and Hilary supporters were about through their ignorance and will to "keep them shut up" Now violence people feel is the way to send a message. It's said yes, but how is it not expected?

I didn't support him, but I'm glad she lost. We all need to work together. Reform immigration realistically, reform taxes, reform social benefits. Hopefully in a meaningful manner to everyone

Same. I only voted for Hilary because Trump I felt would block any path towards real liberty. But now he seems even sad to have won after expecting to lose. I think he himself underestimated what roles come into play as he becomes president. And with riots now breaking out, it needs to be controlled and understood carefully, or else the media will be all over it and make even more people angry. He didn't understand that his words were very powerful and now his life as well as his backers' lives are at huge risk. His solution would be to maybe have martial law or to make more things gov't controlled so he can shut up protesters and opposing forces, but then there is still the rest of the world with eyes on him if anything. And even his own people working with him wouldn't like it. He has to truly stick to unity or he really is screwed.

Trump divided the nation with his hateful rhetoric, racism and misogyny. This is a world *he* created.

Yes, there were no simmering divides under the last admin. That's why she won. Look up Thomas Frank. He summed it up perfectly as a leading liberal thinker. "Trump is the president elect and liberals put him there.". It's a good read and road map

That's BS and you know it...Obama divided this nation and you apparently didn't listen to the hatred spew out of Hillarys mouth... Trump won because Americans Voted. Suck it up cupcake !!!

That was my point. She didn't win

Hillary won the popular vote. Keep spewing that mysoginistc crap though. http://www.ibtimes.com/latest-popular-vote-results-2016-hillary-clinton-has-almost-400000-more-votes-winner-2445216

That doesn't mean squat...Trump won the electoral college because he took more states. Hillary accepted it , why cant you ? We didn't protest when Obama was elected or when Bill Clinton was elected. We Accepted it and Moved forward. we weren't sore loser little crybabies like the wussie generation we have now. Put your energy into building America up rather than tearing up other peoples stuff and showing that your just a bunch of sore losers and you get no respect from anyone doing stupid stuff.

Why don't liberals seem to care that Bernie won the popular vote over Hillary hmmmm. Just sayin...

Ok we will. But be accepting of who we are. Whether Muslim, black, LGBT, etc, Trump supporters need to show acceptance or expect consequences. Talk to us. Be calm. Be understanding and we will do the same. Cause if not, this no doubt will escalate. Remember, the youth doing the riots will have all the political power one day.

That's Fine with me, Now convince all the protesters of that . Problem is the "liberal Socialists " better stop this talk of civil war , because it is one you cannot win. Most of you have been lied to about the democratic party and you should study history and what the republicans did for freedom for blacks and others that the democrats fought hard against. If you want to be truly Free citizens you will support and defend the constitution and back away from Socialist communist ideals that will only make you a slave to a Government. Republicans want everyone to have an opportunity to succeed in life but no group deserves special treatment over any other or we lose the equality we are all guaranteed.This country was built by hard working people that got no handouts and didn't sit around crying about losing. Never forget the sacrifices our ancestors fought and died for so you can enjoy freedom , if they had sat around crying while the bullets were flying we would be speaking german or japanese now.

Exactly. HE spoke this out. He needs to deal with the reaction. You think was so "bad" before? Just wait. Now, instead of being so focused on sex and beer during parties, concerts, sports, gatherings, etc, people will start to wake up and get involved. I can also see the proposed KKK walk in North Carolina causing HUGE trouble. Like the KKK is going to be BEYOND scared shitless. Just watch.
