Following the activities taking place in other U.S. cities, Clevelanders will gather for a protest against President-elect Donald Trump in Public Square at 5 p.m. on Nov. 18.

Check out the details on the Facebook event page.

The event will include a roster of speakers and plenty of music and art. At 7 p.m., the group will march to CSU and back. Organizers seem to be discouraging participants from marching in the street and blocking traffic.

  2. I wish I could join you but I’m too far way. Please Keep Up the Good Fight!!! We will persevere and we will be triumphant!!!

  4. I’m looking forward to walking through Public Square amidst a different demographic of uneducated people today!

  6. A lot of people attending this event have already been organizing for some while. Their judgment is that this will support their effort along those lines, rather than distract from it. Anyone who believes he or she has a better strategy should, by all means, jump in and prove it.

    Meanwhile, I can almost guarantee you that the attendees will be substantially better educated than the average population (city, county, state or nation). You may think that they are misguided, foolish, whatever. But “uneducated” is very very unlikely, unless you’re making up a completely arbitrary definition of education in order to suit your own biases.

    As for “butthurt liberals,” we’re joking, right? 2016 was the triumph of butthurt, and liberals obviously weren’t the beneficiaries. Rural voters were butthurt about not getting enough attention. Christians were once again butthurt about imagined persecution. Whiners of all stripes were butthurt about “PC conformity police,” on the basis that it hurts their feelings to have their prejudices criticized by celebrities, media and coastal elites (even though the same whiners profess contempt for these groups).

    Sorry, but when you win an election by minus two million votes, you had better be prepared to see and hear criticism. It is, I guess, a hard-knock life.
