Like many cities across the United States, Philadelphia has experienced a surge in anti-Trump demonstrations following Trump’s victory in the election. Protesters took to the streets, and remained there even after over a full week since Election Day had passed, continuing to protest. As NBC10 reported, protesters took to the streets during the day, during clearly organized protests with obvious evidence of central planning:
“This event is to protest president-elect Donald Trump, vice president-elect Mike Pence & the Electoral College,” an organizer wrote. “Trump is a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, narcissist who makes fun of the disabled and he does NOT represent me or the hundreds of millions of people who did NOT vote for him.”
(Question: Do these people have jobs? If so, are their employers OK with them taking time off to protest? Or, are they paid professional protesters?)
