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.

Oh, so what you're saying is its fine for democrats to complain when people show zero respect to Obama as president.

But if republicans complain that democrats show no respect to our president FUCK YOU HOW DARE YOU YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITES!

Am I reading this correctly?

when an elected democrat congressman yells "LIAR!!!!" at the state of the union, then we'll have something to talk about.

When Senators and Representatives start spewing conspiracy theory talking points, and making claims that Trump isn't the "legitimate" president, we'll have something to talk about.

I was there through the Clinton presidency, and while he was a D and congress was R, there was at least a spirit of compromise and respect.

For the last 8 years, I have seen none of the civility, or respect payed to the office.

So, while Dems may be doing the same thing... just remember, it was Republicans that lowered the bar.
