Protesting Trump’s Victory

A few thoughts on the people protesting Trump’s victory, even rioting in the process.

First:
Most of the protestors are Millennials, which is to say the “Participation Trophy Generation.” These are youths who have been raised to think that just showing up is all it takes to get a reward. As a result, they have never learned how to lose gracefully. James Harrison (linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers) caused a stir a couple of years ago by tweeting about forcing his kid to give back his participation trophy. James rightly realized that kids should not be rewarded for just showing up. They have to earn a reward, and just as important, they have to learn how to deal with the “agony of defeat.” But these protestors never learned these lessons, as their parents protected them from ever “feeling bad.” They are thus reacting the only way spoiled brats know to react, by throwing a temper tantrum.

Second:
Most of the protestors are college students, and as Denis Prager in his talk show often asserts, college makes people “stupider.” It does so by instilling atheism and liberalism into the minds of kids as being absolute fact, with no possibility that any sane person could believe otherwise. This is why throughout the campaign, the liberal media had been painting Trump supporters as “bigots, sexists, homophobes” or some such derogatory term, as for someone to disagree with liberalism, there has to be something wrong with them. And these types of comments are continuing in the media since Trump’s victory. Hillary herself must take blame in this regard with her “basket of deplorable” comment. The point being, these protestors just cannot conceive of how they lost, as their positions are “obviously” correct. Thus again, not knowing how to react, they’re throwing temper tantrums. In proof of this, Fox News reports, “’America is not voting for Donald Trump’s policies, which don’t exist,’ one protester told the station. ‘They voted for sexism, racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism.’”

Third:
“Clinton appears to be on pace to win the popular vote, despite losing the electoral count that decides the presidential race.” This has the protestors chanting, “Abolish Electoral College.” But if the popular vote decided the election not the electoral college, then the game would have been played differently, and Trump still would have won.

To explain, with knowing going in that the electoral votes is what mattered, not the popular vote, Trump and Hillary spent most of their time in “battleground states.” These are states which were not solidly blue or solidly red and thus could be swayed one way or the other. And Trump won every single one of them! The only states Hillary won were states that are so solidly blue that they would have gone for the Democrat even if they Dems had run Donald Duck for President. Knowing this, Trump did not spend any time in them. And those states included New York and California. Similarly, neither Hillary nor Trump spent time in Texas, knowing it would go red. But it just so happens these are the three most populous states in the union.

But if the popular vote decided the election, then Trump would have spent time in those states. If he had, he probably still would not have won over 50% of the votes in NY and CA, but he would have gotten more than the 37.5% and 33.3% that he got in them, respectively. And with campaigning in Texas, he would have gotten more than the 52.6% that he got. I say this as again, Trump won every single state that he did campaign in. And with the populations being so high in these three states, with the higher percentages, he would have won the popular vote.

Fourth:
This logical reasoning will not calm down these protestors, as they are not thinking logically as they were never taught to do so. Again, college makes people stupider. It does not teach them to think for themselves. Instead, students are indoctrinated, and since the result do not fit that indoctrination, they are reacting emotionally. As such, all we can do is support the police as they try to keep the rioting in check, and pray things calm down and that these spoiled brats learn to accept defeat.
