These protests are a direct result of the shift in the culture in the US, ever since around the time Obama was originally elected. People are too coddled and protected, and now they think that all they have to do is scream loudly or be offended to get what they want.
The screenshots of people saying stuff like "I'M LITERALLY SHAKING RN" and "I'M SO TERRIFIED" in reaction to Trump… You live in the best country in the world and you're sitting in your bedroom on a $500 phone in the air conditioner using your Twitter safe space. Are you joking?
Instead of reporters asking these protesters why they're so upset, all you need to do is ask them, "Were you upset when Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 incriminating emails? Were you upset when Hillary Clinton's campaign was funded by a country that takes in no Syrians and beheads gays and women?" That's when the stuttering begins and you'll quickly see that they have no real purpose or message.
I'm pretty sure protesting is now just a thing people do as a social event to feel important and included. These people are losers. There's no message. The media plays these morons up as "revolutionaries." I was watching CNN yesterday (just for the tears), they went and selectively found a Hispanic (you know, because they're more likely to have a strong message against Trump) to interview at a protest. He literally took the mic and said "GRAB DONALD TRUMP BY THE *****!" There's your powerful and important message.
