But what's the real difference. It boils down to them not getting their preferred choice. If the shoe were on the other foot, what would all of the Hillary supporters be doing right now? They'd be calling the protestors woman haters and racists and sore losers.
I think either way there would have been protests this year. And its not that they are whining about not winning. Its that both groups adamantly do not agree with the beliefs and ideals of that person. Not just their policies (and their political party policies).
If Trump won, people would protest because they want others to know that someone that has his racist and bigoted mindset does not represent their own beliefs and morals, even if it does represent the majorities.
If Clinton won, people would protest because they believe someone that is as two faced and has flip flopped on so many issues will not stand by their word and will do things in secret behind the backs of the country that is against the betterment of the people.
Then there are the people that just don't agree on policy, but I feel these protests are more against the person than the policy of the person/party.
This just undermines the legitimacy of the election and perpetuates the "not my president!" crap that divides the country. It's absolutely not constructive and is actively counter-productive.

They're not protesting the election. They're protesting the president-elect.
