If Tuesday’s (November 8) election of Donald Trump to the highest office in the land exposed just how deeply divided the nation is, yesterday’s (November 9) protests highlighted that division. Many people staged anti-Trump protests in cities across the country, highlighting the communities who were marginalized by the Republican’s run for the presidency, including people of color, immigrants and women.
Meanwhile, some Trump supporters have tweeted harsh comments in response to the protests. But Republican political strategist Ana Navarro—who voted for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election—tweeted about why protest is important:
Some are elated w/a Trump Presidency. Some very scared of it. Let’s remember, right to protest as sacred as right to vote & elect new POTUS.
