I Sometimes Wonder What the Hell Is Wrong With People

So, people are protesting Trump's election, and demonstrating about what a terrible person he is, by smashing cars, destroying property, and looting businesses, all of which belong to innocent people, terrorizing, and even attacking and murdering people. Please tell me I'm not the only one who can see that the only thing these people are demonstrating is that they are the monsters, and not the man they hate so violently.

Nope, everyone rational person can see that, even the ones promoting it. We are just good people without a voice because the media promotes the lie and makes it appear to be the norm.
If all those opposed to the violence showed up at one of those protests and stood in the way, they would outnumber the mob by an enormous margin.
80 million votes my ass. Biden couldn't fill the bleachers at an elementary school while Trump was filling stadiums to capacity and had thousands of people outside just to be there.
That's just nuts. Plain stupidity.
You're not the only one.

I am seriously wondering...are these rioting people agent provocateurs?

I live in a house with five other people (a rooming house) who all voted for Clinton and not one person here is even cursing about it. One guy here who actually put in some time on the Clinton campaign was chuckling about it as he came downstairs the morning after the election saying, "Well, I guess we're stuck with that guy for four years..." Another guy drank a beer for breakfast and toasted us over the breakfast table saying, "Well, here's to the Donald! We've all gotta make the best of it!"

These jerks stopping traffic are hardly typical. Most of everyone I know on either side are just glad the election is over.

@Pherick: Most of us are white. One is hispanic. All of us are too poor to afford an apartment.

@AbbeyRhode: Me either, I can't believe the "hate" going on?! 😱
It is true that the rioter are apolitical and opportunistic
[c=#BF0080]I've said it over and over that they're acting way worse than the person they are protesting about. It's pathetic.[/c]
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
Well-stated! Do you have your eyes and ears open today?? :)
@Ambroseguy80: [c=#BF0080]LOL.. I think I do. 😄[/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: we are in good hands. Hell. I'm even a good boy with you on patrol. 😜

They're just like little children throwing a temper tantrum because they didn't get their way.
News flash people - [b]everyone can't get their way all the time![/b] You aren't the only person in existence! So grow up, sit your butt down and at least give the guy a chance. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise you and turn out to be a good president.

Remember...

Well said, thank you, I totally agree.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
It's disgusting!!! They don't realize that hatred consumes them and the government allows it and the media glorifies it. Can't wait until January!!!
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
I empathize with what you're saying. But as for "the government," here in southern California a bunch of them were arrested. And no one I heard on the radio or saw on TV stated anything positive or sympathetic about it.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@greenmountaingal: that's appalling. I guess my point is that the federal government should be doing more up front to deter this kind of activity.
Peaches · F
Over here in Oregon a friends son got arrested for spray painting state property, he had no criminal record and got 18 months?! You should see the mess these protesters are doing with spray paint?!
Cierzo · M
You are 100% right and police should act.
Peaches · F
No, you're not the only one who can see it! They are all over the roads here leaving people anxious and stuck in traffic. They are spray painting road signs, bridges and what ever else they can. How is this helping any of us?!
Pherick · 41-45, M
It is messed up. While many of the protests were civil, there are always people who want to ramp things up :(
People are irrational and nuts sometimes.. That's what's wrong with them.. No respect or regard for others..
Absolutely!! As I said yesterday, Trump is President now, and like him or not, we need to support him, give him a chance, and pray for him. United we stand, divided we fall. 🇺🇲
Can't argue with praying for him

Basically these people are protesting the democratic process... you win some and you lose some..i have no idea what they believe this will accomplish.
AbbeyRhode · F
@black4white: Not all of them. I have been disappointed to see some older people behaving just as badly, if not worse.
black4white · 56-60, M
@AbbeyRhode: yeah you are probably right... i cant even stomach to watch the childish attitudes in that arena just throws me for a loop
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
They only protest the democratic process when it doesn't work for them. They don't believe in it otherwise, but they will surely use it as their defense when it comes in handy

The people scare me more than who was chosen...
krf336 · M
hate is all they have, because if they were to attempt to unite people everyone would realize they have nothing to offer.
Thank you so much for this. Right on!!

Towards a fair, just and democratic society we have to tolerate idiots.

LOL well said
jackson55 · M
They are all acting like spoiled little brats, stomping their feet and saying no, I don't want that.

Beating up old ladies now!

@Nimbus: It is. I am appalled at the behavior I've seen in this country.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode: I'm sure many are.
The events of the past few weeks are unprecedented and likely to accelerate.
What was supposed to be a fresh start has turned into a debacle.
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus: I hope it doesn't get any worse! They aren't "protesting" anything. They are using that as an excuse to act like trashy thugs.

Liberalism is most definitely a mental disorder
Abrienda · 26-30, F
The Left can only hate. It's all they are good at.
TheChrister · 41-45, M
And this is why I hate politics and will have nothign to do with any of it. Left or right... Its all division, arguing, violece... F*ck that. the world would be better off without politics. 'If voting changed anything, it would be illegal'
aradia11 · 61-69, F
Wow where was this? Here in AZ they had the Latino kids left school and marched down to the capital...being against Trump..many Mexicans are not in favor. Yet it was peaceful. Not the horror you described why do people think that solves anything.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
You are 100% correct. It's just crazy that people think that is a way to act under any circumstance. Just sad.
krf336 · M
Demonstrating that some people should be able to participate in society by voting.

Another strong argument for the Electoral College.

And Education reform.

And immigration Reform.

And criminal justice enforcement.

And spanking children... (The only time a participation trophy should ever be awarded.... In form of s ceremonial belt)
aradia11 · 61-69, F
Yes it is awful people get so out of touch. There is no need for violence. I just saw a demonstration...And it was peaceful. Those who are crazy extremist are worse than what or who their against
[c=#BF0080]They're not peaceful now.. someone got hit and knocked out lol. They were throwing rocks.. and now police are letting off those bomb things.[/c]
aradia11 · 61-69, F
@PinkRainbowKisses: how terrible...
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
This baffles me, as well. It's frightening to think these animals walk among us, but they most assuredly do. Absolutely horrifying.
xixgun · M
It's not just you.
Tiusflow · 61-69, M
It is amazing
fazer1k · 56-60, M
Very true. Is this still going on over there?
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
Excellent point
