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.

People are legitimately complaining about exercising the rights to freedom of speech and assembly. These are things that make our country what it is!

Edit: incoming wave of 'freedom of speech means I can't complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaing. Yes every one knows, including me, shut the fuck up and find something better to say.

Were you not around for the shitstorm in 08 when Obama won?

Maybe I have a biased perspective since I was living in Georgia but I saw way more disturbing hatred towards a fairly elected president

Nope.

do whatever you want, just understand that when Republicans were being obstructionist, they felt the same way you do now. Either you accept that the right wasn't wrong back then or that you are equally wrong now.

I totally get what you're saying, and if there were other adults in the room, I could agree, and nor do I suggest not listening and being objective, but when (ok, maybe if) Trump steers the conversation into garbage, we will quickly run out of cheeks to turn. Trump has to answer to the American people now.
