"Violence to Protest Against Trump a Logical Response"

[Dooom35796821595]

If you believe in democracy at all than you have to accept the fact that some times you lose. End of story.

Raising a violent revolt just because the person you supported lost is contrary to the basic principals upon which a modern republic is founded.

And when you still lose despite receiving more votes from the people? Doesn't seem all that democratic to me.

It doesn't? But Brexit means Brexit, and the UK is better together.

Bah , if you lefties rise up so will the righties . For example the moment any communists try anything ...libertarian , and fascist paramilitary groups will respond. A revolution in a modern united states would be bad for everyone.

We can beat them

Ugh. You sound like an insurrectionary anarchist or People's Will type. Smashing crap up isn't Revolution.

Go ahead - go ahead and tell these people while looking in their eyes that their struggle for Democracy was "wrong".

Now go and look into a mirror.

Yeah. Morsi was so cool wasn't he? The Muslim Brotherhood won fair and square and that makes them good.

/s if it wasn't obvious.

1) Sometimes it's the only way to have things done. Like declare Independence and fight for it, not "working within a system".

2) Are you against people rising up against tyrants and despots of the world?

No, people should rise up against tyrants or if their rights are being taken away. However, Trump won. I am not a Trump supporter, and as disappointed as I am about the outcomes of the whole election, we should not condone people violently protesting against this, or protesting at all. This is how democracy works. The people have chosen Trump, and we need to accept that.

Which is why 220,000 more people voted for Hillary than Trump.

[The Blaatschapen]

No. Violent protests are not the answer right now.

It's cold outside, wait until spring.

On a more serious note, take a page from Gandhi's book, and protest like that.

No you can't, the Right Wing Militias have better training and equipment than you.

Only 220,000... That's pathetic.

If half the fucking country decides to openly break the law after every election we can't have a democracy.

Do you really want to see lives pointlessly lost , the republicans called for revolution in 2008 and 2012 when Obama won , Guess what friend nothing happened because we the American people are barkers not biters.

I'm still available for the job of King. I have previous experience.

We just proved you can't.

Whelp this thread is full of either liberal platitudes about "democracy" or propaganda of deed. Both equally wrong

By voting you accept the outcome.

I am not aware that peaceful protests break the law?

Oh well, something learned I guess.

What are you talking about? We need change! Real change!
Vive le Revolucion! Down with the fascist pigs, and the burgeoisie!

[Jochizyd Republic]

Seriously though violence and riots in response to Trump winning are a huge overreaction. The whole media outlook/public sentiment was an overreaction.

He's bad. The worst we'll have since Bush. Much worse probably. But he is absolutely not the hardcore racist neo nazi klansman people painted him as.
inb4 he's endorsed by the KKK and Neo Nazis.
Yeah, he's also endorsed by Black Supremacist Groups and Communists.

I blame this sort of vicious overreaction that the Left has been characterized by recently for Him winning. Why people turned to such an idiot. That and Hillary being the nutcase she was.

This is every bit the fault of the New Left as it is Populists, Paleocons, and Alt Rightists (who played a waaay smaller role than they would like to think they played.)

[Labyrinne]

All that violent protest is going to do is get people killed, not cause any change.
I say that us liberals should step back. let it play out. It will suck, but when Trump causes a reseccion and more loss of jobs, some of the disenfrancised voters will have a rude awakening.

Ghandi's did and the protests of those modelling themselves after Ghandi tend to.

What right wing militia? Kids on the internet talking big don't count.

[Jumalariik]

This is extremely hypocritical.

Trump getting elected is democracy. It is crucial to a democracy that people don't try to destroy the system because the guy they didn't like got elected.

NSG didn't have any sympathy for the Trump fans that said they'd riot if he lost.

They can.

[Galloism]

Obviously violence isn't the answer.

If Republicans have taught us anything, obstructionism and delegitimizing the opposition is.

[Jochizyd Republic]

This is extremely hypocritical.

So is a Reactionary supporting a National Liberal.

eyyooooo
