It is going to get worse before it gets better. We have people with concerns based on rhetoric from the campaign that there is going to be an effort to strip them of their civil rights. We have people that want to see that happen and are stoking those fires with harassment, violence, and destruction. We have people that are using their anger over the outcome to do the same. They are feeding off of each other.
I will say this, though, for every person you see out in the streets there are at least ten that are being silent and are legitimately scared that they will face discrimination because of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., and they are seeing all of this and it is only making it worse.
