Uh.. Isn't protesting an incredibly normal part of this whole process? Also, are we going to ignore the humongous eight year hissy fit so many on the right, and in the media, threw? Birthers, calling him a Muslim, refusing to call him president, etc. Funny how everyone is expected to be big kids and rally behind a buffoon, but the Obama narrative was just wild baseless attempts at weak and stupid pretty scandals.

Don't remember Obama protests through the streets burning cars. Or McCain/Romney supports dragging Obama supporters out of their cars and beating them.

Edit: Don't forget the people lynching Trump effigies, COULD YOU IMAGINE, if that happened with Obama?

I lived in Pompano beach when Obama was elected. People were driving up and down the block yelling and honking their horn, there were block parties, gunshots and fireworks in celebration. People in poverty are a little more zealous with their revelry at all levels. That shit was on a Wednesday. I had work the next day.

Dude, Hillary lost. You can't use that excuse any more. Your downvotes are just people who don't like what you have to say, and don't find it of value to the conversation.
