Your thoughts on the protests

[Bob Kelso]

The protests, or rather the belief of those protesting or otherwise expressing fear at the election results, is disturbing.

The US government isn't a one-man sailboat. It's an aircraft carrier. It takes years to turn it. After 8 years, Obama got it going a little to the left. In 2 - 4 years, Trump could possibly straighten it out (possibly - though he ran as a Republican and has a Republican Congress, that Republican Congress resents that he came in and stole their show). If he gets re-elected, he can get things moving toward the right. Then people will want change and elect a Democrat. This is how America works. Daily life for the vast majority of people didn't change much under Obama, and it won't change much under Trump.

This history is known. Further, Hillary called for a peaceful transition. So, why the irrational fear and resulting protests?

I think that's the first time I agreed with one of your posts.
