Først var der kald til likvideringen af Trump på Twitter. Chokerende, så kaldte en freelance journalist for Storbritanniens Guardian og New York Times, Monisha Rajesh, endog for mordet af den nyvalgte Præsident Trump i en tweet til journalist Mark C. O'Flaherty, som skriver for the Financial Times, Sunday Times, iblandt andre propaganda medie publikationer. O'Flaherty svarede "haaaa - det er det eneste som vi har talt om i den sidste times tid." Rajesh slettede hurtigt tweetet og sin konto, men ikke før at det var set og fanget af andre Twitter brugere.

Another journalist, LA Times freelancer Steven Borowiec tweeted that he wished Trump would die. The paper released a statement that they found the comment "inexcusable": "The Los Angeles Times is committed to fair, evenhanded coverage of the presidential campaign, and expects all journalists representing the paper, including non-staff contributors such as Mr. Borowiec, to adhere to this standard in their articles and social media posts."
Along with the assassination threats came the protests and riots in New York, LA, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Virginia, Minnesota, San Francisco, Oregon, Seattle, Oakland. Tens of thousands are taking part all across the country. But while largely peaceful, that is changing quickly. Dozens were arrested in that first two days. Police officers were injured. Property was destroyed. Trump was burned in effigy. The American flag was burned in the streets. At the same time, a wave of racist bullying and vandalism has spread across the country.
We should be skeptical about all of it.
The chaos is undeniable. As is the violence and the destruction. Yesterday an elderly Chicago man was repeatedly kicked in the head, his car stolen as bystanders shouted 'You voted Trump'.
A high school girl in California was beaten by a classmate for saying she supported Trump in Instagram, therefore she hates Mexicans. Now she's receiving hate mail on her social media accounts.
The protests continue. Last night a peaceful Philadelphia rally focused on women of color and sexual assault victims. Baltimore protests saw some arrests. Protests are ongoing in Milwaukee, Oakland, Minneapolis, Grand Rapids, New York City... Students in Southern California staged walkouts. (See Zero Hedge for a representative sample of videos and pics.)
Twenty-six rioters were arrested in Portland yesterday. The protest began peacefully before the "anarchists" started burning flags, breaking windows of local businesses and restaurants, and bashing an electrical box. The protesters even turned on each other. The man who was beating the electrical box with a baseball bat hit a woman who tried to get him to stop. RT reports:
Some 4,000 people started their protest at Pioneer Courthouse Square and moved to northeast Portland, according to The Oregonian daily. Police on Twitter wrote that protesters were preparing "gas and flares" and were "arming themselves with rocks from a construction site."At least 19 cars were vandalized at a Toyota dealership.
What's going on? Trump may not be too far off when he tweets the following:
The fact is, most of these protests have been peaceful, or at least they started out as such, like the one in Portland. And every movement or ideology has its crazies, extremists, and those who resort to violence. But there's this to consider: MoveOn "activists" march against Trump: George Soros begins his color revolution in America. And this:
With tens of thousands of people taking to the streets to protest Donald Trump's presidential election victory, questions are swirling about whether the anger is as organic as advertised. ... observers online are claiming that, in some cases, protesters were bused to the scenes - a telltale sign of coordination. "Anti-Trump protesters in Austin today are not as organic as they seem," one local in the Texas capitol tweeted Wednesday, along with photos offered as evidence.In addition to the incidents mentioned above, rioters defaced Lee Memorial in New Orleans, spray painting messages like "Die Whites Die", "F--- Trump", "F--- White People", "F--- Pence", "We are ungovernable", and anarchy symbols. (The foul language is common to most of the protests.) Ironically, protesters genuinely concerned about Trump stirring up deep-seated hatred don't have to look far - their fellow protesters are doing exactly that.
Others claimed to have found ads posted on CraigsList in which a Seattle-based non-profit was soliciting "Full-Time Activists." "We are looking for motivated individuals who are seeking Full-Time, Part-Time, and Permanent positions," reads a line from the ad from Washington CAN! posted on Wednesday.
Rumors have also been circulating that the new batch of anti-Trump protesters has been bankrolled by individuals like billionaire liberal activist George Soros and groups like Moveon.org. "WTF, @georgesoros busing in & paying #protestors to destroy cities is domestic #terrorism. #fakeProtests #BlueLivesMatter have tough days," read one tweet in response to the viral picture of buses in Austin.
Another theory floated on social media is that many of the signs that were distributed at rallies across the country appeared to be exactly the same, indicating they were printed and distributed by an organized group.
The non-violent protests are at least understandable. They're angry they lost. They're kicking themselves for not reforming the electoral college years ago (but they were seemingly fine with it for the previous three elections). They're angry at the DNC for sabotaging the chances for a Democratic candidate who actually stood a chance against Trump. But when it comes down to it, their lashing out is childish and misguided.
Hillary supporters bought the lie that Clinton was a champion of "progressive values". They're convinced Trump will be the next Hitler, ignoring the fact that Hillary's political philosophy is much more fascistic, founded on deception, corruption, and mass murder. They either don't know or don't care that Hillary represents and is personally responsible for the continuation of the policies that made America the most evil country on the planet. Said policies were given new life by the Bush presidency and reinvigorated by Obama. They include: the invasion and occupation of foreign countries, the slaughter of their civilians, the plundering of their resources, the state sponsorship of terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa, the use of death squads, supporting Nazis in Ukraine, maintaining and amplifying a new cold war against Russia, and supporting the worst dictatorships and human rights violators on the planet, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who execute gays, subjugate women, and arrest political dissidents.
But no. Trump is the problem.
Kommentar: Man kan med rette spørge, hvor er den siddende præsident? Obama burde om nogen appellere til protestanterne som er hans egne tilhængere, at de bør respektere demokratiets regler og akceptere valget. Man kan forledes til at tænke at USA ligesom Europa er lederløs og kun svarer på direktiver fra elitens "deep state."
