Please try to understand before one of us dies.

I'm trying to move on. I just can't make some of you understand how serious the situation is in our country.
We didn't just elect a Republican instead of a Democrat and the Democrat won the popular vote. That's happened before but we didn't feel the need to riot.
We have elected a man who has the support of white nationalists and is even putting them in positions of power. We elected a man and his running mate Mike Pence, who is one of if not the most anti-lgbt politicians on record. He has even said that AIDS funding should instead go to so-called reparative therapy--- literally trying to turn gay people straight. This effects me directly not only as a gay man-----but someone who relies on government programs for medication that keeps me alive. Yes, there should not be violence but we should not stay silent either. Telling us to "get over it" and "give Trump a chance"....like you gave Obama?
I will not stand idly by while my rights are taken away. No one should. I don't fault anyone for doing so. Do it peacefully by all means, but protesting is our right as Americans.
