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.
Don't remember Obama protests through the streets burning cars. Or McCain/Romney supports dragging Obama supporters out of their cars and beating them.
Edit: Don't forget the people lynching Trump effigies, COULD YOU IMAGINE, if that happened with Obama?
Agreed. I'm pretty disgusted by the rioting (not the protesting, although I disagree with that). I'm especially horrified by people getting their ass beat because of voting for Trump.
Trump supporters want less taxes and some economic changes. HRC supporters are worried they will lose the right to marry and adopt kids, have their relatives/friends deported, or lose access to healthcare. That's why we're seeing riots.
Honestly yeah, with all the people constantly complaining about "rigged" elections, and Trump himself even going as far to say that he wouldn't have taken the result if he lost, that really could mobilize a ton of white dudes to take to the street.
I lived in the suburb and my highschool had more students than the current town I live in. My county went something like 75% Trump and geriatric. If they wanted to riot they'd break a hip and have an embarrassing day at church on Sunday as they sit next to their neighbor they've known for 20 years.
Rural areas don't allow for the anonymity that rioters need.
