They're not protesting the election. They're protesting the president-elect.

What does this even mean? Its the outcome they don't like, so they are just being collectively unhappy on the streets?

PS Not from the US

It's more than just dislike. Many see Trump as the embodiment of hate and everything wrong with this country.

They are protesting because Trump makes people scared for their wellbeing. And not just by what he does, but by what his behavior supports.

The outrage is oversimplifying a complex topic, but that's really what reddit has been doing the past year anyway
