BERKELEY, Calif. Chanting Not my president, several hundred protesters streamed through the streets of Berkeley and Oakland in the predawn hours of Wednesday venting their anger at the election of Donald J.

The California Highway Patrol said that one protester, who was not identified, sustained major injuries after being hit by a car when protesters attempted to move onto a freeway.
The demonstration was one of the first visible signs of anger in the liberal and heavily Democratic San Francisco Bay Area after Mr. Trumps surprising victory.
From Pennsylvania to California, Oregon and Washington State, hundreds of people hit the streets, according to reports by local news media and The Associated Press. In Oregon, dozens of people blocked traffic in downtown Portland and forced a delay for trains on two light rail lines. The crowd grew to about 300 people, according to local reports, including some who sat in the middle of the road to block traffic. The crowd of anti-Trump protesters burned American flags and chanted Thats not my president.

Snowflakes don’t just melt and run away?
This makes winning even more fun that it already is!
I’ll bet half of them didn’t even vote.
Don’t play with Trump, ‘cause you’re playing with fire.
Thats not my president.
OK, leave. I hear the welfare is great in the middle east.

I am guessing they are opposed to any good policy pursuit, so that we can all be unemployed and make us blame Trump, selfish ÷_÷£=_÷&!
What did Obama say? Oh yeah “we won. republicans get to sit in the back of the bus”
The race-baiting began on day one.
Democrats lost. They need to accept it.
They get paid more if they start a fight.
