Plenty of people now feel emboldened in their racist or bigoted views. Saying the only threat is people who don't like Trump is grossly misrepresenting the situation. It's not all sunshine and rainbows for everyone.

I like how you're equating protesting Trump with not being civilized. I mean, yeah, just be civilized and accept a leader whose views could lead to severely limiting or even life-threatening situations for a variety of people. Be respectful of his views!

edit: I'm not saying I agree with the protests. He hasn't done anything worth protesting yet. But I understand where the anger comes from. Electing a leader who threatens to take away rights such as marriage equality or affordable healthcare is something I'd be scared of/pissed about as well if it happened in my country.
