    These protesters are brain washed by media and Hollywood. If thes protesters think Trump is coming to get them they would be wrong. He's coming to help them. Expect a lot of rebuilding in USA over next 4 years, and expect jobs.

    13 and a half billion jobs, Billy. And they'll be the best jobs, the best. So many jobs you won't have people to do them. We'll have to build robots to do these jobs, and guess what, you're not gonna believe this, we're gonna create more jobs for people to build these robots. Just fantastic. Amazing. Just like me.

    Fine. Which policies?

    Maybe I am unintelligent and uninformed here but I am watching the news here and actually having a hard time understanding WHY they are protesting?

    The main point seems to be this pussy grabbing thing.

    It's the Million Woman March.     Womens Rights Are Human Rights. "I'm marching for my grand-daughters!"

    "We are gathered here and across the country and around the world today to say Mr Trump... we refuse..."

    Refuse what?

    For me, I'd be worried about an American withdrawal from international politics or I'd be more worried about how they are planning to treat illegal immigrants who have already made it across the border or I'd be concerned about what they are going to do to Muslims in the name of "stopping Islamic terrorism".

    Not seeing any of that at the protest here. It seems to be mostly about... what?

    What's your take on this, Professor Moriarty? What the hell is this protest actually about? Are they raising valid points? What points?

    The main impression I get from the "Women's Marches" is that as well as protesting against the anti-choice policies the Trump administration and/or a GOP-controlled Congress will likely introduce, they're protesting against a perceived empowerment of misogynists - and I'm not talking about something as banal as "manspreaders" on public transport, I'm talking about the alt-right/"manosphere" who think asking a woman for consent before sex is complicity in "white genocide" or some similar bullshit.

    Did you ever get around to reading Trump's tweets? You must be unhappy with him.

    What do you make of Michael Moore calling for disruption of the inauguration and supporting groups like disruptj20, or people like Cher and Katy Perry literally telling people to go out and cause riots?

    I don't recall right leaning celebrities saying things like that when Obama got elected. People with tens of millions of followers on twitter.

    Edit: Lady GaGa was doing the same thing, inciting violence.

    I read an article today saying Liberal trolls are targeting Barron Trump on twitter, real classy attacking a 10 year old kid.

    They are just trolling in general, it is fine.

    Oh come on Permabear. Stop acting like the Republicans didn't get just as bad about making claims that the election was rigged/unfair/undemocratic when Obama won, or when Clinton won.

    Hell, many Democrats made the same claim when Bush Jnr won, oh wait, that was rigged.

    Hillary won by 3m votes. The population of Cali is 38m .
    Those 3m votes are by people with there head in the clouds who think America stops at the Cali state lines.

    where is it? Pages back I posted a list of stories about right wingers saying that the Obama children should be raped and stuff like that. No-one's excusing targeting children but it's worth noting that there are idiots on both sides of the political spectrum.

    Trump himself spent years saying that Obama couldn't be president because he wasn't even american. And the birther movement was based on nothing more than racism. He's kenyan, he's muslim, he's not a true american.

    Check the OP, election is over.

    So what do you reckon, will Trump be creating about 13mn+ jobs?

    No it's really not.

    Lefties would be up in arms if Obamas daughters were trolled in the same way.

    Trump is an adult and he is well able to take the heat they throw at him, his 10 year old son should be left alone.

    That's it, dismiss everyone who votes differently. Is that not why Trump won?

    It's like a decent parent would know that twitter is no place for a 10 year old to hang out...

    They are mocking him as much as Trump mocked that disabled reporter.

    So for a Trump supporter, not at all.

    It's the side that has lost that is dismissing Trump and his Supporters. A republican would never win if it was decided on popular vote. How could a republican win Cali or New York with the popular vote.
    New York and Cali gives a democrat a 80 pts lead in electoral votes before election starts.

    It might set a precedence. The Republicans, the right, tea party etc, might organise massive protests from now on if a Democrat wins the next Presidential election.
