University of Texas at Austin students cheered and yelled as they marched in Austin Wednesday in opposition to Donald Trump's election as 45th president of the United States.

Footage posted by The Daily Texan, the student newspaper, shows dozens of people walking around the city. At least one passerby gave the middle finger.

"We love Muslims, we love blacks, we just want our country back," they chanted just after 2 p.m. "This is what democracy looks like."

The students marched along streets near the Texas Capitol, then briefly blocked a crowded traffic bridge, according to the Associated Press.

Many in the crowd waved hand-scrawled signs proclaiming Trump racist and anti-gay. Some of their later chants were vulgar plays on the 2005 recording where Trump bragged about groping and kissing women without their permission.

Texas A&M University students planned an anti-Trump demonstration at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Members of the Muslim Students Association, several wearing hijab, stood next to a table in the campus breezeway urging students to ask them questions about their faith. They offered passersby brownies, pamphlets and copies of the Quran.

"If you haven't talked to us before, talk to us today," a sign read.

Setting up a table on campus is a weekly ritual for the student club, and they said they generally hear questions asking about hijab and Islam's relation to Christianity. Several students said they felt let down last night, angry and upset with the election results.

Today, they exchanged reminders to stay safe, quelling nerves with smiles. "We'll still be here, spreading the word," one said.
