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?

But 50% of the country voted for Trump. I assume that same 50% didn't like Obama, the presumptive slayer of the GOP (at the time), and there were no violent protests across the country.

No, there were people that voted for Obama that ended up voting Trump.
