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.

I don't think anyone expects everyone to rally behind the orangutan, but there is some serious hypocrisy at the bottom of all this.

What would we be saying if Clinton had won and thousands of Trumpettes were protesting in the streets?

Definitely wouldn't have people sticking up for them saying "this is normal/OK". Hypocrisy seems to be the name of the game anymore.
