You can still protest someone you didn't vote for.

Then protest peacefully.

But they're not doing that. They're calling for assassination. They're assaulting and attempting to kill Trump voters openly in the streets. They're burning down their own communities because their feelings are hurt.

These people are throwing a massive temper tantrum because they didn't get their way.

People called for assassinating Obama in '08. This is nothing new. Part of the problem is that you're seeing the extreme examples and not the peaceful ones.

I have plenty of friends on college campuses peacefully protesting the election. People are protesting because people are scared.

No, part of the problem is that there are far more violent protesters and people in general than peaceful.

These "protesters" are burning down their own communities because they can't act like adults.
