From diversity and gay rights to freedom of speech and protest, anti-Trump activists in New York shared their visions of an "ideal America" during interviews with Fox News Digital on Saturday, at the 'Hands Off!' protest movement.
"For me, an ideal America is one where people can protest like this and have their voices heard, and they are the ones who are running the country — not somebody who's taken over the country and no longer allows the First Amendment to be spoken," said one unnamed, masked protester, holding a sign which had the scientific symbol for "resistor."

Correction #1. We heard you before we went to the polls on Nov 5. Thats exactly why 78 million of us voted the way we did. Not because we hate black women in politics. Though some of them give us plenty of reasons to.

How fun to just scream "f you!" to everything and then go back to the comfort that other people have built for you. Including Chablis and gummies to alleviate all the stress of your life.

Nothing sillier than a million People openly protesting in the streets complaining because they lost an election. Who exactly is stopping them? A bunch of whiny cry babies who seem to think its only a fair election if they win.

In other words, what they want is big government socialism with government taking from some hard working people and giving to others who may or not be working. They want Government to force everyone to believe a certain way whether it goes against their religious morality or not. No, we don't want to live in Europe and if these people do, let them leave.

People who want free speech are right. And they have it. The right was diminished during the last administration and that right does not include the right to create damage or to support terrorist orgs. People who want free housing and free food are asking for others to support them, not comprehending that they too have an obligation to contribute to society at large. People who want an unfettered right to kill babies, IMHO, should be planning for less detrimental ways to avoid pregnancy.

Dear Lotd; Why must we suffer the existence of leftists and anti-God liberals? Yes, there were utopians and Jackson democrats in earlier days, but not this brand of European-origin communism!

"an ideal America is one where people can protest like this and have their voices heard"
What morons. They ARE protesting and no one is stopping them as long as they are peaceful. As to their voices, they can speak, WE do NOT have to listen and WE do NOT have to give them what they want.
"everyone ideally, is housed, is fed, makes a fair living wage"
Sorry, you are not ENTITLED to a house or food or any set wage. You have to EARN it. That means you have to develop knowledge and skills and you get paid according to the amount you contribute to the business. Then you can take your pay and and buy the things you can afford. If you don't make the effort, you don't get the pay, and you can't afford the things you want. There are some safety net programs for people who are suffering through things beyond their control but that is provided through CHARITY, not ENTITLEMENT.
"Diverse, which is a bad word these days"
No it's not. But it's not a special word with special privileges either. You shouldn't expect to be hired for a job because you are "diverse". Nor does diversity enhance a job site if the diverse people can't do the work or are focused on their diverseness to the expense of their job or others comfort in the working environment.
"give more rights to people who are underprivileged"
Underprivileged in what way? The Constitution assures all of us of life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness. It does not require others to give us things or to accept our ideas as true. It does not entitle us to income or wealth. The idea is, society overall works best when all individuals are working to their best to support themselves and contribute what they can.
Overall, the ideas of these "protesters" put forth Socialism, care by the state, rather than a democratic Republic, where people take care of themselves with only minimal help from the state. The reality is that Socialism fails every time it is tried. Our form of government, with slight sanding of some rough edges, works far better.

They want to have their voices heard, but no one wants to listen to them.

Whom do you want to be heard by? Liberal cable news? Ok. They heard you. Now what? No one is going to change anything based on your wishes or demands. We voted and you’ve had your chance to stand in the street and cry about it. We don’t care. So shut up now and go home.

They already had their "ideal" America for a long time now. It ran us into ruin.
