First, more than 100 anti-Trump protesters have been arrested in Oregon. Most of them did not vote! Seriously? You've got hours to protest but you didn't have time to actually vote? They claimed not to have voted because they didn't have enough "electoral college points." Well, that would have been true regardless of who was elected, right? Why is this an anti-Trump protest rather than an anti-Electoral College protest? Would they be protesting the electoral college if Hillary had won? Whatever the case, it takes a lot of gall to protest when you didn't bother to vote.
And then we learn that Colin Kaepernick, a millionaire who refused to stand for the National Anthem to protest the ill treatment of people of color, did not vote and was not registered to vote. He said that no matter who won, the corrupt system would remain. So, you are protesting a system that you are also saying cannot be changed through elections? Then you need to either organize a revolution to overthrow this oppressive regime (wouldn't that be Barack Obama during the last 8 years?) or quit your whining. If the NFL had any sense, they would suspend him; it would do wonders for their plummeting ratings.
