<p>It seems protests have become part of Obama&rsquo;s legacy. ;</p>
<p>Wednesday night was the perfect example, when tens of thousands of angry citizens in cities across the nation took to the streets to voice their disapproval of Trump&rsquo;s victory. ;Chants of &ldquo;impeach Trump&rdquo; and &ldquo;not my president&rdquo; rang from coast to coast, and more than a few protestors ended up in handcuffs as they disrupted traffic and lit bonfires in the street. ;</p>
<p>Police in Oakland, CA were forced to use tear gas as thousands of protestors clogged on-ramps and intersections. Protestors ;responded by throwing rocks, fireworks, and Molotov cocktails at the police. Three officers were injured and an estimated 40 fires were started. ;</p>
<p>At least 60 civilians were arrested in Manhattan, where demonstrators crowded around Trump Tower. ;&ldquo;America is not voting for Donald Trump&rsquo;s policies, which don&rsquo;t exist,&rdquo; said one protestor. &ldquo;They voted for sexism, racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism&hellip;&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I came out here to let go of a lot of fear that was sparked as soon as I saw the results,&rdquo; said NY protestor Nick Powers. He said that he feared Trump&rsquo;s election would embolden sexist views and support harsh stop-and-frisk polies that would put more people in jail. ;</p>
<p>Raucous demonstrations took place in Chicago, Philadelphia, Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Dallas, New York, and Washington, DC. ;</p>
<p>Protestors in Portland, Oregon burned American flags and crowds in Los Angeles lit a giant papier-mâ;ché; Trump head on fire. ;</p>
<p>Not all demonstrations were peaceful. In Portland, a lone Trump supporter was physically attacked with a skateboard. In Seattle, ;five people were shot in an area near the protests. ;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Note:</strong> I find it curious that the parties preaching &ldquo;against hate&rdquo; are the very same parties now sowing hate and violence throughout America&rsquo;s cities. ;This issue was addressed by CNN&rsquo;s Marc Preston, who said finding the middle ground is going to be the hardest part of moving forward:</p>
<p>&ldquo;All that anger that has been contained outside of Washington, DC, and New York that we don&rsquo;t see in Middle America&hellip;everyone&rsquo;s starting to see it. There is a lot of healing that has got to happen.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> ;They all believed Bernie was their saviour, then Bernie tried to convince them Hillary would take care of them. I hope they eventually grow up to appreciate that Trump will be a better president than either of them could be.</p>
