A mock memorial was growing outside the U.S. consulate in Amsterdam on Thursday in the wake of Donald Trump’s U.S. election win.
Residents left notes and flowers on a fence outside of the entrance to the embassy Thursday after Trump stunned much of the world with his election victory over Hillary Clinton.
“Dear America, we feel sorry for your loss and we wish you all the best in the dark times that lie ahead,” reads a sign taped to the fence.
“Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think,” another sign reads.
A day after the election was called, thousands of people across the U.S. protested Trump’s victory, marching in streets in cities across America.

From New England to heartland cities like Kansas City and along the West Coast, demonstrators carried flags and effigies of the president-elect, disrupting traffic and declaring that they refused to accept Trump’s victory.
Flames lit up the night sky in California cities Wednesday as thousands of protesters burned a giant papier-mache Trump head in Los Angeles and started fires in Oakland intersections.

Los Angeles demonstrators also beat a Trump piñata and sprayed the Los Angeles Times building and news vans with anti-Trump profanity.
Leading up to the election, polls in the U.S. had generally placed Clinton slightly ahead of Trump.
