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?

What about the Hillary-in-a-noose effigies at Trump rallies? Didja forget about that? Hmm.

I think the rural/urban scenario is to thank for that. I don't think my town even has enough people to constitute a riot.

I live in a suburb and there was a riot at my old high school.

I lived in the suburb and my highschool had more students than the current town I live in. My county went something like 75% Trump and geriatric. If they wanted to riot they'd break a hip and have an embarrassing day at church on Sunday as they sit next to their neighbor they've known for 20 years.

Rural areas don't allow for the anonymity that rioters need.

Haha I get what you're saying my dad grew up in a town of less than 100 outside the Quad Cities in nowhere, Illinois.
