With opinions catapulted from all sides of the discord, from the streets of New York City, to the coast of California, it is evident that the division in America has reached a fever pitch.

Los Angeles
California, a large state contributing votes towards Clinton, has primarily been in favor of Democratic values, and has a long history of social protest.

Richmond
Virginia was a key battleground state for both candidates which inevitably ebbed in favor of Clinton.
Despite the candidate’s overall loss to Trump, the people of Richmond made their opinions known as protestors shut down interstates and vocalized their displeasure with the current President-elect.

It is evident that the American social state is unsettled at the least. No one knows how the course of the next four years will go for the American people, with a population divided and distrust in Government at it’s height, the United States has the difficult job to put a house in order.
