Protests against President-elect Donald Trump took place in several cities across the country on Wednesday.

Trump secured victory over Vice President Kamala Harris when he surpassed the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the election. In a victory speech before the official declaration, he pledged to "put our country first" and bring about a "golden age" for America.

On Wednesday night, demonstrators took to the streets in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia to protest Trump's win.

"Donald Trump, you fascist clown," protesters chanted outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, according to a video posted on social media. Several carried banners as they marched, including ones that read "End the Trump Era" and "Trump Out!"

Heard about the one here in Philly last night when the traffic reporter said something about "some kind of protest..."

[jimfields33]

1. Didn't get much play in the media. I watched MSNBC until 1 am and up to watch morning Joe at 6.

Not a word mentioned about this.

[Ray Bruns]

2. Would have been nicer if they had showed up Tuesday at the polls.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. I expect those who protested DID show up at the polls!

[Ray Bruns]

4. Well, somebody didn't show up. I know that.

[nycbos]

34. I wouldn't count on it.

[TomCADem]

5. I guess they were keeping their powder dry until after the election.

I keep on seeing Trumpsters hosting kiosks and showing up at school board meetings, but I guess progressives wanted to wait?

[Oopsie Daisy]

6. I wonder how the pro-Hamas (pro-Palestinian) college campus protesters voted.

[TomCADem]

9. Or, the Teamsters. But it is a manly vote

It was actually a great strategy to appeal to the insecurities of folks. Are you man enough to negotiate for a salary and benefits without asking for a union to help you?

[kimbutgar]

16. Project 2025 outlaws unions and i wonder how the teamsters who voted maga are gong to feel?

And say goodbye minimum wages.

We are major F’ed in this country.

[TommyT139]

28. Pro-Palestinian isn't pro-Hamas

And several of the prominent leaders who protest-voted in the primaries endorsed Kamala.

Simplistic thinking helped lose this election.

[Oopsie Daisy]

29. Uh-huh. So I've heard.

[EX500rider]

30. Except the ones carrying Hamas flags?

[TommyT139]

31. You know people can be two different things at once?

Or a generality and a subset?

[EX500rider]

32. Yeah and there are some Hamas fan protestors for sure

[TommyT139]

33. Of course there are.

They're not equal, obviously.

[louis-t]

7. He will be shooting them in the legs soon.

[onetexan]

8. hoping he'll see all these protests and pop a vein

[Magoo48]

10. Resist the MSM.

Thank You to everyone already participating in direct action.
Each and every one of us is capable of participating in some form of direct or passive resistance, and a great many of us are capable of participating array of imaginative, resistance activities.
Finding fault and laying blame are useless, and also counterproductive when referring to others chosen form of resistance

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Complaining about the media is a moot point

Soon, Trump will install a U.S. form of Russia's PRAVDA.......The State Owned Media Outlet......

Actually, he could just modify Fox News and use it. I have always wondered these past decades, about Fox News exclusively being broadcast on the Armed Services Network every day......

[Montauk6]

15. Fox News/RT, A Joint Venture

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Don't understand

who/what is RT????? thx

[Montauk6]

18. Oh, sorry... RT is "Russia Today" the state-owned cable news network

I should've said "Fox News/RT America, A Joint Venture."

[DENVERPOPS]

19. Thx,

with all of these initials floating around, and being used for everything these days, it's hard for me to keep up!

[ificandream]

20. The MSM is not your enemy. Trump thanks you for your comment.

The Trump party, Fox (Rupert Murdoch) and the rest of the RW media are the ones we should be protesting.

[Magoo48]

22. As long as MSM is for profit, it sure as shit is a fickle friend at best.

Corporate money says what to print, what to leave out, what to not pursue, and will censor at will. If you balk you’re down the road.

[ificandream]

24. In my experience, it doesn't.

I worked at a major metropolitan paper for over 35 years. The editors in the newsroom made the decisions, not corporate. What corporate did was whittle down the newsroom until there was nothing left. But news editors handle the news coverage.

[Magoo48]

25. Ok then.

You’re obviously more experienced than I am.
Peace.

[sarisataka]

11. Too little too late

[MacKasey]

12. It's a start

Maybe if we had been doing it this all summer , would have made a difference!

[pfitz59]

13. Will there be inaugural protests?

ALA Bush? Will former Presidents boycott? I think Biden should.

[Igel]

35. There was one in 2017.

A couple hundred protesters arrested, the Twitter feed said some of the organizers and participants (probably a smallish minority) intended to shut bridges and main roads and prevent the inauguration from happening. Yeah, there was some arson, some injuries, the damage ran into the many millions of $.

Don't see why it wouldn't be like that this time. Or maybe worse.

Although the idea of an open conspiracy to prevent an official act of government to pass authority would seem a bit much to even consider possible. (Ahem.)

[The Grand Illuminist]

21. Demonstrations and protests no longer works

A voice no longer creates change. It is time to use more potent measures. Holding Trump voters accountable and dealt accordingly is a start. Time to not be afraid to resort.

[Festivito]

23. A RW website showed a video of 15-25 police on bikes taking down one black man.

It was called Liberals starting to riot or some other nonsense.

Sounds to me like Newsweek is using the "some people are saying" kind of sourcing.

[Faux pas]

26. Better get it out of

our systems, when he's back in the storm troopers will be shooting first..and that's all.

[Faux pas]

27. We'd better get all of this out of

our systems, when he's back in, the storm troopers will be shooting first..and that's all.
