Why, hello there, traveller! I see you’ve come for some more whoa. Well, you’re in luck, because after a week of deep depression, the GIF-Meister is feeling more motivated to share my whoa GIFs with you. If you missed last week’s column, I shared some <\/span>positive ways<\/a> to respond to the Trump presidency<\/a>. I know the GIFs were sparse in number, but I just wasn’t feeling up to getting all trippy with you. I hope you’ll understand.<\/p>\n

This week I wanted to address recent complaints about <\/span>protesters who have passionately taken to the streets<\/a> to voice their fear, anger, and opposition to President-Elect Donald Trump<\/a>, who expressed a desire to unify the nation but has acted only to divide people so far.<\/p>\n

So proud of my city! We continue protesting against racism and hate! #UnitedAgainstHate<\/a> #NeverBannon<\/a> #trumpprotest<\/a> #DowntownLA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/3TTlTFkikd<\/a><\/p>\n
