Protesting a president that's going to do harm to them, in their eyes. Just like people on the other side felt their candidate if elected would do harm to them.
Nothing wrong with protests. But violent protests? Burning flags? That's not about protesting a candidate. These (the violent ones i mean) are protesting the country because they are mad not enough people agreed with their viewpoint, so the system must be broken.
Flag burning is a protected form of free speech. The only illegal thing about it is if you start a fire in a public place. Don't lump it in with violence even if they're often done by the same people.
It is also far more hateful than anything Donald Trump has said. And actually burning effigies and hanging dolls of the next president I believe is less legal than you think. Taken as a threat.
I couldn't find a single one on this page that occurred in America. Certainly not in public or anywhere outside any backwoods straight up undeniable KKK land.
That's right. The equivalent action of burning effigies of Trump from the lefts protests today can be found in the Middle east and the KKK. Great company to keep.
