After Donald Trump's decisive win over Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential election, protests broke out in Philadelphia and Chicago.
According to Sky News, protesters in Philadelphia voiced concerns over women’s reproductive rights, trans rights, and gun laws.
RFI reported that a protester holding a sign that read “Fascism – Not Welcome in Philly” voiced concern over the election result, saying, “The outcome to the vote is extremely concerning.”
Another protester, Isabel, told RFI, “I will let people know that racism is not acceptable. Sexism, homophobia, fascism, are not acceptable in this country. I am upset and sad, I am terrified. I think a lot of people are.”
Cathy O’Connel, a woman from Philadelphia, said, “I went into last night feeling some shred of hope, and I think Philadelphia turned out the vote for Kamala, which is the reasonable vote”.
She further questioned how Americans could support someone “who runs on a campaign which is just about power for himself, power that he doesn’t plan to share, with anyone who voted for him.”(snip)
Meanwhile, In Chicago, members of the United States Palestinian Community Network opposed Trump’s win.
CBS News reported that Hatem Abudayyeh from the US Palestinian Community Network commented, “Our issues are with both parties… Both parties support Israel unequivocally.”
Protest organisers in Chicago said that the current administration had been warned that unrest would follow if the Gaza conflict continued and the US maintained its support for Israel. Abudayyeh said, “They are not going to be able to take for granted the people that are represented here, the movements that are represented here.”
As per reports, protesters marched through the streets, chanting slogans such as “Not My President,” “Free Palestine,” and “Fight for our freedom.” The demonstrations blocked key roads, resulting in severe traffic disruptions.
They are correct. And he will not be their President until early next year. In the meantime, Biden and Harris have to deal with the riots.
Popcorn. Need more popcorn.
“No doubt, it fueled these sad, gullible lemmings.”
Only thing to do with lemmings is show them the cliff. If they resist or hesitate, push them.
It’s the same temper tantrum they pitched in 2016.
Never grew up apparently.
As coached by Obama.
These people aren’t wrong. Trump is NOT their president. Their president is back in the turd world dump they illegally came here from.
In many cases women could vote, given what state they lived in and if they owned property.
Whats funny is these women never say anything about the large percentage of men who couldn’t vote because they didn’t own property.
Voting was tied to property ownership. Because these people had skin in the game, they had stuff that likely would be used as reasons to collect taxes, if taxes were needed.
“Not my President”?
Well you ARE in the minority...can’t have it both ways ya know
Offer them the opportunity to renounce their citizenship.
Republicans didn’t have to say BiteMe was Not My President, he made it abundantly clear he didn’t represent us and hated us.
