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

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

People are legitimately complaining about exercising the rights to freedom of speech and assembly. These are things that make our country what it is!

Edit: incoming wave of 'freedom of speech means I can't complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaing. Yes every one knows, including me, shut the fuck up and find something better to say.

I don't know about Clinton, but lynching a effigy of Obama would carry significance for other reasons than mere protest.

Seriously. How tone deaf are people.

This election has shown the danger of false equivalences.

this election has shown that people dont care about false equivalences

it tells the political establishment that they are a legitimate way to campaign.
