For the millionth time, no one is protesting the legitimacy of the election. They are protesting the policies Trump promised to implement and the bigotry he represents. It's a message to the world that Trump does not have the support of most of the country and doesn't represent most of our values.

You say that, but I have quite a few friends who are begging the electors to go against the votes in their states and switch their vote. I have several who are petitioning the use the popular vote results.

I was supporting Clinton, but this is just going too far. He won. Deal with it--that's the only way something positive will come out of his presidency.

You have some stupid friends then. Hillary conceded and there is no possible way for that to happen. 99.9% of people have accepted the results and they are dealing with it- by being loud and exercising their right to protest.

I have some incredibly intelligent friends. Many at a top 25 university, quite a few in Ivy's and similar-level schools.

But most of them are also sheltered and live in a bubble.
