Dear America,
Your country has been hijacked by angry white men carrying box cutters purchased at Home Depot #Election2016 #NotMyPresident— JrQuiet (@JrQuiet) November 9, 2016

I will respect Trump just as much as conservatives have respected Obama for the past 8 years #NotMyPresident

The Democratic base feels like their country has been stolen from them. They feel like their progress has been hijacked.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are going to be in for a very long next two years. The last time Democrats were this motivated, they took back Congress, and then they took back the White House. Trump begins his time in office looking like a one-termer waiting to happen.
Democrats are already getting past their disappointment, and digging in to restore progress and take their country back.
