Here is video of the aforementioned protest in West Seattle. It is both encouraging and depressing.

Hundreds of West Seattle High School students that staged a walkout Wednesday morning to protest Donald Trump as president-elect were joined by administrators.
Officials at the school say administrators joined the students on their walk down California Avenue to express their anger toward the outcome of the election.
The students are protesting because they are not old enough to vote, officials say. Many have signs reading, “not my president.”
The reaction from the students isn’t the first public outcry over Donald Trump’s election in Seattle. Overnight, disgruntled voters hit the streets of Capitol Hill, setting fires and blocking traffic.
Socialist Alternative Seattle is planning a protest Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Westlake Park.
