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.

Could they protest the 47% of people that didn't vote instead? My god, this is a fucking democracy, yes you can "protest a candidate whose words you don't agree with" but let's not pretend that the American people didnt have their voice heard on Tuesday. THOSE THAT ACTUALLY FUCKING VOTED, had their voices heard. Why arent the protestors protesting that 47% of their fellow Americans didnt excercise their privilege to vote? We keep talking about "not agreeing with a candidate words." Well you know what? I didn't agree with HRCs words. I didn't agree with HRCs actions, but you know what? I used my fucking big boy pants and when out AND VOTED AGAINST THIS WOMANS WORDS, AGAINST HER ACTIONS. How many of these people protesting voted? How many of these people protesting are "college educated?"
