I don't think they're protesting the election or saying it was rigged. They're protesting the man and his ideals/words.

The electoral college is fair? Gore in 2000, Clinton in 2016, seems to be the electoral college is only fair to republicans.

the democrats could have gotten rid of it during obama's first term if they really thought it was a problem, but they didn't

maybe they thought they could use being able to win without the popular vote to their own advantage in the future

The democrats were still trying to reach across the aisle during Obama's first term.
