After the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election came in early Wednesday, protests broke out across the country. These protests were centered largely at college campuses, such as the University of Texas at Austin, where protestors marched through the streets of Austin, Texas. The country, divided prior to the election over the candidates, is now divided over whether to accept the current president-elect. Many protestors declare the Trump will never be their president, using hashtags, such as #NeverTrump.

Many others expressed their outrage via social media, declaring their shock and disappointment over the results. Gatherings were organized on college campuses, where students held signs in protest. Protests occurred outside of colleges as well, particularly in major cities. Highways and streets were blocked by protests in cities ranging from Portland to New York. Those who were in support of Trump condemn the protests, saying that Trump was elected to the office.

Condemnations of a Trump presidency have arisen not only from the protests, but from major social media figures as well. Following the results of the election, Canada's immigration website crashed due to the influx of traffic. This comes after people half-jokingly declared that they would move out of the U.S. if Trump were to win the election. New Zealand's immigration website also received increased amounts of traffic following the election. Although many hoped the election would signal a temporary end to the great divide in politics, it appears that the country will remain divided in the days to come.
