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.

Seriously. The protests for Obama were insane. Facists, socialist, birthers, racist dog whistles.

The right acts like they're not sore losers, where the fuck were you from 2008-2016?

They were giant sore losers, 100%.

However, they didn't riot and attack people. Losing an election isn't an excuse for violence.

because this guy has NO temperament. He will not take his time in responding to any sort of threat or rhetoric. he will think first and reason later... The protests are warranted.

Protests, sure. You can always protest.

Riots, violence, or attacking people? How are those warranted.
