I was amazed in the Castro district in SF while eating at a restaurant just how many thousands of protesters there were. They seem mostly 20s and early 30s but I watched them walk by while demonstrating along Castro Street in front of the restaurant my wife and daughter and I were eating. I was facing the street from my chair at the table and it was over 1/2 hour of people walking by so there had to be thousands of people demonstrating. The ones in front (likely anarchists) saying "Fight Back! Fight Back! Fight Back! over and over again and then the next wave were saying out loud "Hey Hey Ho Ho Donald Trump has got to Go!" over and over again. There were signs that many people carried and they were preceded and followed by many police and paddy wagons in case anyone got out of hand. But, they seemed peacefully demonstrating but no cars only people could walk down Castro street while the demonstration was occurring because they filled 4 lanes of traffic two in each direction as they marched and walked by. This appears to be happening in cities all across the nation likely because Hillary like Gore won the popular vote so they once again feel cheated somehow.
But, this is more ominous somehow like it was during the Viet Nam War all over again.
Politics
Even after Clinton and Obama call for political reconciliation, Trump opponents express anger and distrust.
