Protesting the election results is a waste of time and will not change anything.
The solution is when you realize that Trump was elected through a democratic process, and he will not be the 'Hitleresque' figure that people paint him out to be.
The stock market has been going UP, because smart business people are actually believing that his planned policies might actually improve the economy. They are investing likewise.
Being homosexual myself, I have *not* been offended in the slightest about Trump getting in. Under Obmama, people have learned to be professional 'offendees'. They decide to be offended about everything, rather than deciding to be resilient and shrugging things off.
If Trump offends you, then make the choice not to be offended. There are always going to be people who offend you. If you live your entire life being offended by anything and everybody, its going to be much more painful than it needs to be.
And again, don't waste your time with useless processes. Trump got elected democratically. Being bitter and protesting for the next 4 years is a waste of time.
