When I was sitting in Slurp Restaurant with my younger daughter, wife and a friend and thousands and thousands of demonstrators walked by at night carrying candles and chanting it took me back to anti-war demonstrators of the 1960s and early 1970s of those times once again. There was the same almost militaristic determination not to give into a Trump presidency.
So, once again, we are likely to witness another social revolution on college campuses nationwide like we did in the 1960s once again.
People are just starting to be aware that the electoral college stole their popular votes away from them and starting to get ready to change these rules to reflect the actual population changes to America.
Otherwise, the presidency will be stolen again and again from the popular vote like it was when it was stolen from Gore and now from Hillary by bad rules regarding the Electoral vote that have nothing at all to do with the popular vote.
I hope, in the main these are peaceful demonstrations rather than a violent revolution with guns and snipers beginning.
It is basically up to Trump and how he handles all this when he is inaugurated in January which way this all is going to go.
But many of us see the writing on the wall already and fear for the longevity of our Democracy in a Republic.
