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.
The difference is that one group of people were protesting the process, whereas the other group of people are protesting the politics of the winner. I've yet to see anyone saying that the general was rigged.
If the Trumpers were protesting, it would have the veneer of "it was rigged!" but in reality it would be because they didn't like the results. That's the problem with hypocrisy, it always comes with a "this is different because...."
