The day following the election, tens of thousands of people were in the streets of America's major cities protesting. CNN assessed at the time, the cities were with large Democratic bases. Nine News Australia assumed them to be Clinton supporters.

In New York City alone the crowd was estimated at ten thousand as police were surprised by the sudden appearance of the angry crowd. They marched 40 blocks down Fifth Avenue, closing the prominent thoroughfare en route to their destination Trump Tower, home of the new president elect. Loaded Department of Sanitation dump trucks were brought in, surrounding the building for two blocks for security. Celebrities such as Madonna, Cher, and Lady Gaga took part, with Gaga exhorting the crowd from the top of a sanitation truck.

Another 10,000 protested in Boston surrounding the Boston Common before going to the Massachusetts State House and Copley Square. Among the signs at the protest were "Not My President," "No Fascist," "We Will Not Be Silenced," "No KKK," and "He Will Never Be My President."

In Chicago, police traded insults with a few thousand protesters, one office wearing a Trump badge on his cap. Protesters blocked the Trump International Hotel and Tower's entrance before being corralled across the street. Police closed the Wabash Avenue Bridge to keep protesters at bay, while Lake Shore Drive was occasionally blocked by protesters.

The San Francisco Bay Area had several protests. About 1500 students walked out of classes at Berkeley High School, chanting "Si se suede" ("Yes we can) in Spanish. Similar demonstrations were held in at least seven other high schools from San Rafael to San Jose.  Five blocks away, at the University of California, students gathered at the traditional protest location outside Sproul Hall.  Later in the evening, a third group of protesters assembled in Berkeley.   Separately, seven thousand protested in downtown Oakland.  Windows were smashed, including at Oakland City Hall, I-580 was blocked and small fires were set by protesters with several arrests.   A female protester was hit by a car on Telegraph Avenue, sustaining major injuries.  The car that hit her was vandalized.  The protest in San Francisco, by comparison was smaller and quieter with thousands marching with police escort. Across town, a separate protest was held at San Francisco State University. At San Jose State University hundreds gathered at the Tommie Smith/John Carlos statue. #Calexit became a trending hashtag on Twitter, suggesting California should secede.

In Los Angeles, a reposted 18 year old's Facebook post led to 300 students walking out of Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools and marching past Staples Center to Los Angeles City Hall. Later in the day, thousands more converged on downtown Los Angeles, a group of them making their way onto the 101 Freeway and blocking it for hours. An effigy pinata of Trump was burned.
