TRUMP’S WIN SPARKS SOUTHLAND PROTESTS
People rose up to protest in the days following the election of Donald J. Trump to the office of the President of the United States. The nationwide outcry was equal parts disbelief, fear of the future and unabashed anger. By ande ricHards
“N
ot my president” was one of many anti-Trump chants that rang through the streets as residents marched to City Hall. They congregated on the steps, sidewalks and spilled onto Grand Park in an attempt to exorcise their frustration. The mixed clamor of speeches, chants, dance and song filled the air. Many people held signs and wore clothing that exemplified two philosophies one of anger, “F*%k Trump” and the other a cry for love, “Love Trumps Hate.” Time will tell whether or not President-elect Trump will follow through with the proposed policies he touted during his campaign. Trump’s plans to build a wall, and feuds with Hispanic and disabled members of the press, along with revelations of sexual misconduct, were not easily dismissed by a community sensitive to those issues.
