This is a really ugly thread of comments.  To be sure, it's easy to criticize the student "protest" as juvenile and ineffective...and shouting "F#$% Trump" is less than polite or respectful.  However, I find it less offensive than spending eight years calling the President a "stupid N#%#$%," which was the pasttime of thousands of right-wing bloggers.  

Candidate Trump, indeed, made promises which are threatening to many groups of Americans and stirred the flames of discontent among both his followers and those who opposed his election.  He is IMO,  the most polarizing figure in modern American political history.  Protest marches addressing his election shouldn't surprize anyone.  

The real question now focuses the difference between campaign rhetoric and Presidential action.  If, in fact, a President Trump actually attempts to enact all his campaign promises, we are, indeed, facing at least four years of extreme political conflict.  We are now "a house divided".... (cont)
