Sorry, Trump Protestors: This Is What Democracy Looks Like

“This is what democracy looks like!” That was my favorite chant during the anti-war protests I participated in my senior year of high school in 2004. Twelve years later, the same folks I marched down Sixth Avenue with protesting outside the Fox News building are back at it, protesting the victory of Donald Trump.

I’ve got some bad news for the thousands of my former comrades marching through the streets: You saw what democracy looks like on Tuesday night. The election of Donald J. Trump was perhaps unfortunate from your perspective (and truthfully, mine), but he is now our president, and there are no do-overs in a democracy.

Looks like bethany still hasn't learned anything since her good old protest days way back in 2004. It's a REPUBLIC. That is what democracy looks like. A constitutional representative REPUBLIC doesn't look like that. Get it right.

[Mr. Douglas]

Actually, this is what a republic looks like. Hillary got the popular vote. i.e. if we were a democracy, she would have won.

[rktman]

The ungrateful snots in the streets see it that way. Now, where is that out of control semi careening down the 101?

[Mr. Douglas]

In her concession speech, Hillary called us a constitutional democracy. I was practically screaming at my computer monitor, “It’s a constitutional REPUBLIC, you old felon!”

You know what Clintons folks are full of $hit, if things were the other way around they would tell everyone else to shut the hell up and deal with it, hypocrates all of them.

Those were nazis, not kkkettes. LOL!

[Not A Snowbird]

WE’RE NOT A DEMOCRACY!

Sorry to shout.

[rktman]

LOL! Can I hear you now? I know that but the ungrateful snots on the streets not only DON’T know it, they don’t want to learn it either.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Correct. we are a Representative Republic. Interesting yesterday how Hillary kept saying we were a Constitutional Democracy. Kind of some code perhaps?

We were watching her screech and before I could say anything my wife yelled, "it's a constitutional republic, you idiot!"

I love my wife.

Those were Illinois Nazis :)

” Kind of some code perhaps?” Yeah. Load up the buses all you ungrateful snots who don’t know or have a clue what real oppression looks like. Useful idiots. “CAUTION! MELTING SNOWFLAKE ZONE AHEAD!”

[Not A Snowbird]

Not shouting at you, of course. Shouting at the wind.

People need to enroll in a civics class, stat!

[Organic Panic]

That’s a pet peeve of mine to. If you want democracy move to North Korea. 100% vote participation 100% vote majority for Kim.

[rktman]

I knew that too. Kinda like beating our heads against a brick wall. Looked at the online version of the reno gazette urinal this morning about the protest we had here. Some of the comments are beyond belief. Where do they get this crap? I suppose face book chatter and the dem operatives. Sad damn thing.

Amen
