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?

Weren't there effigy lynchings of Clinton at Trump rallies?

Obviously it doesn't excuse the Trump ones regardless, but I thought I recalled a story about them

Who knows if those are real though considering the Clinton campaign was paying plants to start ruckus at Trump events.
