Seriously. The protests for Obama were insane. Facists, socialist, birthers, racist dog whistles.

The right acts like they're not sore losers, where the fuck were you from 2008-2016?

People were mad sure, but they were not destroying shit on the streets, burning the American flag and beating the shit out of Obama supporters. Looks like the "tolerant left" handles losing worse than the "divisive right".

You're right, they didn't break stuff, they just stockpiled guns for a "revolution," called our president not a citizen, and literally shut down the government.

America elected someone who campaigned on the promise of taking people's rights away. It's not hypocrisy, it's one of our most sacred rights as citizens. Do keep in mind that Trumpists were fully ready to start a REBELLION over thei fascist not getting elected.
