Actually ok with the protesting. Not that it will do any good. But, if the protests turn to riots, then lock them up.

Without realizing it, the protesters are actually protesting against democracy itself.

They lost, in the same kind of open democratic election that's been going on here for more than 200 years, and they don't like it, so they're throwing a temper tantrum in the hopes of getting their way. They're not even protesting his polices, they're protesting their feels. \

There's a MoveOn.org petition to get rid of the Electoral College.

And one petition to impeach Trump, immediately. Like, immediately. Dismissing the fact that the only reasons a president can be impeached are "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" (as defined by the Congress, incidentally), the reason for impeaching Trump, who isn't even the president, is listed as "something is wrong."

"Something is wrong" is a euphemism for "WAAAAAA!!!!!!"

Grief councilors, grief councilors, GREIF COUNCILORS my ass!!!!

Get over it! Your candidate lost! Move on!
Oh, yeah. The University of Kansas reminded its stressed-out kids that therapy dogs, a regular campus feature, were available.

The University of Michigan offered its traumatized students coloring books, Crayons, and Play-Doh to calm them down. Go Blue!

Cornell University, an Ivy League school in Ithaca, NY, held a campus-wide “cry-in,” with officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate. (Distinguished Cornell alumni include 19 Nobel Laureates, 8 astronauts, 5 heads of state, professor Carl Sagan, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Matt Urban (the most decorated serviceman in US history), Ann Coulter, Janet Reno, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.)

So if someone writes racist/ Nazi graffiti and includes Trump's name with it, can we surmise with certainty that it was a 'Trump supporter' who did it? One incident lumped together in the article was of kids chanting 'build the wall'. It would be interesting to know how many were legitimate crimes, actual hate crimes, and also done by whom.
Over 200 Reports of Hateful Harassment and Intimidation Post-Election: SPLC.

Muslim woman student made up reports of bring 'attacked, robbed of hijab' by man in Trump hat,

Wait until the next student govt elections at Tenn Tech. No telling what might happen if they elect an SGA president from the Young Republicans:eek:

Something is wrong with the culture of our younger generation due to failures in parenting, education and the "pop culture" rot with which they identify. College aged people are still children, not being exposed to the consequences of their decisions and the hard facts of the real world. There are winners and losers, and in order to survive you learn to live with it and keep on keepin' on.
