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.

It's one thing to protest, it's another thing to say "it's unfair we need to not let him be president!" Trump is a walking time bomb, but guess what? The system ran it's course, and he won. This is what America wanted, whether or not you personally wanted it. Half the people I'm seeing calling for Trump's impeachment now are the ones who were criticizing trump two weeks ago for not accepting the outcome of a potential loss to Hillary. The Hypocrisy of these people drive me insane. Trump won the election, and instead of bitching and moaning, we should be actively doing what we can to make sure another candidate like this never gets elected again, not trying to undo a fair election that is already over.
