An 82-year-old Edmonds woman was arrested for investigation of a hate crime and assault after disrupting a rally for President-elect Donald Trump the day before the election, police said.
...
Officers arrived to find multiple community members rallying for Trump, who is now projected to be the 47th president of the United States.
The woman reportedly told police she could not understand why people of color would support this particular candidate.
She was very animated and even tried to push an officer while demonstrating how she’d acted, according to an Edmonds Police Department press release.
Officers interviewed a 55-year-old woman, described by police as multi-racial, who said the suspect had “gotten into her face” as she rallied for Trump.
“The suspect commented on the victim’s attire and skin color before the suspect pushed the victim and punched her in the chin,” the release said. Edmonds police Cmdr. Josh McClure said Wednesday many people at the rally wore T-shirts and waved flags in support of Trump.
A 66-year-old Edmonds woman, intervened and stepped between the suspect and the first victim. The suspect responded by punching her as well, police said. Officers also interviewed multiple witnesses. Neither victim required medical treatment.

There have been some people on Reddit saying they’re going to report illegal immigrants who are family members of Latinos who voted for Trump.
Scary things dogma will do to a person. Once they have it in their minds that they’re “so morally correct”, they can justify any actions, even if it goes against their alleged “values”.
Ultimately we live in a form of democracy, where people choose what’s next. No matter what, some people are going to be unhappy because they wanted someone else to win, or didn’t like any of the candidates. But you can’t lash out at people while also believing in democratic governance, the two can’t coexist in reality.

Wild times.
I’ve had far worse things happen in my life than the outcome of an election.
Usually, I just go to work the next day 🤷♂️. Nothing like a good routine to find some grounding.

No kidding this stuff either way doesn't phase me, I find it interesting and like the historical part of the political theater. But as far as the impact on my real life it's negligible it's background noise and personally, we mostly talk about it and laugh.
