The stunning election of Donald Trump is certainly one of the greatest upsets in modern global politics. The nation has been divided by a bitter and highly controversial election campaign, and his opponents have already made it clear that they are not going to go down without a fight. The United States has woken up this morning to a country fraught with emotion and anger, and protestors are now taking to the streets to violently express their frustration at the election result. RIOTS BREAK OUT FOLLOWING TRUMP VICTORY Reports are coming in across the country about the break out of small but serious rioting incidents. In Oakland, more than a hundred protestors gathered in the early hours of the morning and attempted to block the freeways. Even when the protestors was hit by a car, they refused to abandon their sit in. Instead, the violence escalated with some cars being set on fire and the windows of others were broken. Eventually, the emergency services had to close down the highway to deal with the incident. Further reports have also hit the newswires speaking of civil unrest. A Trump supporters’ victory party in San Francisco was spectacularly and chillingly interrupted by groups of protestors wearing masks. In Berkeley, California a mob apparently took the streets chanting ‘not my president’ in response to the election of Trump. Supporters of the unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton were caught on camera marching through the streets of Portland in Oregon. The footage contains images of protestors shouting ‘f*** Donald Trump, president elect’ and it has been claimed that one protestor set fire to an American flag. Other protests are said to have broken out in San Diego and San Jose. The civil discontent at Donald Trump’s elevation to the role of president has not been confined to the United States. Later today, anti-racism protestors in London plan to stage a demonstration outside the United States Embassy in protest of the president-elect. Hillary Clinton supporters were also filmed marching through Portland in Oregon shouting ‘f*** Donald Trump’ and setting fire to the US flag.

Anti-Trump Protesters Fill the Streets Nationwide

In 15 different American cities Wednesday, enraged voters marched, chanted and blocked major highways in response to Donald Trump's surprising election victory. From Los Angeles to New York, Indianapolis to Miami, citizens' signs drew attention to Trump's countless offenses, which would have barred any normal politician from the highest office. Even red-state cities saw protests, including Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas City, Missouri.
Protesters took to the streets condemning the "whitelash" of the majority of caucasian Americans voting for a xenophobic, racist, sexist bully who began his campaign by calling Mexicans "rapists" and proclaiming, "The American dream is dead."
In Trump's home city of New York, protesters were particularly vehement, starting at Union Square and marching to Trump Tower. Thousands of ordinary citizens opposed to Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and sexist behavior and statements, among other issues, were joined by not a few celebrities. The actor Mark Ruffalo was spotted, but refrained from including curse words in his chants since he had brought his young daughter along.
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore attended the rally, and told the Huffington Post that the protests must go on and on. “We had all those big protests before the Iraq war and once the war started, everyone stopped protesting,” Moore said. “This time, we keep it up and we don’t stop till he’s out of there.”
According to the Washington Post, "In Oakland, Calif., two police officers were injured and two patrol cars burned as thousands of protesters took to the streets and chanted slogans against Trump, a police spokeswoman said. A few protesters threw objects at police dressed in riot gear, smashed windows and started small fires in the downtown area."
Protesters shut down California's Interstate 101 for a time and called for their state to secede, a movement now known as “Cal-exit.” Many of the demonstrators in Los Angeles who showed up were Latino, responding to Trump's racist vitriol against immigrants.
It's worth noting that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. And while Trump earned a significant portion of the millennial vote of 18- to 29-year-olds (37 percent), Clinton's 55 percent of that demographic would have delivered her a landslide win.
Ironically, after Tuesday night's results rolled in, "Make America Great Again" took on a whole new meaning. These anti-Trump protests in the wake of the election could signify a raucous beginning of a long wave of social action during a Trump administration.
