The United States recently had an election which saw the "unlikely" candidate Donald Trump wins against the "likely" candidate Hilary Clinton. After the victory of Trump, scores of Americans took to the streets in major US cities (New York, California etc.) demonstrating their displeasure of Trump's win. Some of the protests turned violent. Although such events were reported in the news, I was very surprised because I was not expecting this kind of reaction from a country which had practiced democracy for over 200 years.
