 Pointing to Donald Trump’s recent comments on abortion and controversial appointment of an extremist right favorite to the White House, Mayor de Blasio on Monday urged all Americans to continue protesting the President-elect.

De Blasio, speaking after days of roiling protests against the country’s yet-to-be-sworn-in 45th president have sprung up in New York and other cities, said resistance is necessary, especially since Trump is likely to lose the popular vote — and therefore doesn’t have a mandate to rule.

“We have to recognize that all over this country, the more disruption that’s caused peacefully ... the more it will change the trajectory of things,” said de Blasio in an interview with Hot 97 radio.

No wonder NYC is such an expensive hellhole.

Still waiting for someone to explain exactly what these protests will accomplish.

Fine.  Remove all federal financial support for NYC.  It's only fair.

What will de Blasio say when the other side finally starts protesting back?

What will de Blasio say when the other side finally starts protesting back?

That's part of the problem:  we don't ("we" being a broader term that encompasses, but is not limited to, trumpkins).  I think part of it is that we're generally more law-abiding and we generally have jobs that require our presence - it's a lot easier to protest if you're a trustafarian, a dole blodger, or a professional agitator (i.e., you get paid to protest, usually by left-wing orgs).

This is actually good for us.  While the activists believe it advances their cause, I think it actually drives more ordinary people in the other direction.  Also, it creates less of an incentive for compromise, since you know they won't be satisfied by anything anyway.

There are lots of other reasons; the common thread, however, is liberalism.

I didn't realize things had improved so much in NYC that DeCommio could focus on community organizing.
