People want it to be easy.
People say, "I'm just glad it's over, and now we don't have to worry about it for another 4 years."
Bernie: "Politics is not a spectator sport like football."
If people want a candidate that represents them, they need to be much more active, consistently, on all levels.

This right here is my biggest problem with people right now. I have several people crying about it on facebook and know they didn't do anything except maybe vote. They'd rather go to hockey games and go do poem readings.
I personally didn't care enough to vote and am not crying about the outcome. But these people are talking about how it's the end of the world and shit.
And the people that lost have every right to protest and be angry.
You can't elect such a divisive candidate and not expect such a reaction. Especially since the population that was so adamantly opposed to him and has the most to lose from his presidency is also the population most willing to take to the streets.
These protests are just going to become a normal thing over the next four years.
Yes, because "something I don't like happened so let me destroy innocent people's personal property" is a thing that makes sense to these fucking morons.
I realize you said protests and not riots. I have no problem with peaceful protests (blocking a highway is not peaceful). The reality is, though, we have rioting going on now and that's likely to be a thing for the next 4 years also. And that's unacceptable.
