    So protesters don't believe in Democracy and we didn't get our way so let's riot? Bunch of cryin ass b****es. The funny thing is the alternative was HILLARY! Grow the hell up!

    Meh, let them throw their temper tantrum so long as they keep it peaceful.....but what's hilarious is thinking about the liberal response if something like that happened the day after Obama won in 2008.

    I'm fairly sure that JimBob and Cooter burned down their trailer homes in protest of Obummer, but since it happened in Bumblescum, Arkansas and not Times Square, it probably didn't make headline news.

    Where is this "Don't believe democracy?" stuff coming from? You know protesting is a protected right, right? This is democracy, don't cry because not everyone is as ecstatic about a Trump term as you are.

    Yeah, so basically just one or two people throwing a temper tantrum vs the thousands of JimBob's and Cooters that are having a temper tantrum tonight outside of Trump's home.

    There's a lot of JimBobs and Cooters in America. They just don't happen to share a studio apartment in Manhattan.


    Also-- this election is historic for a reason... and that reason is that both of these candidates were despised. If the results were flipped, Pepe the Frog's army of keyboard warriors would be lighting fires as we speak. There's plenty of stink to go around in the pile o' s*** that was the 2016 election.

    I wouldn't have been happy if Hillary won but I would have took it for what it was and accepted it. Shameful thugery!

    One millenials response on CSNBC said they were also protesting the media "because you all told us Hillary had it wrapped up so early so some of us didn't vote."

    Jfc. He's seriously protesting because he's a **** tard .

    Their vote wouldn't have mattered much. New York, Washington and Illinois etc aren't swing states.

    What miscarriage of justice are they protesting and what are they expecting to happen from the protests?

    You know it's just a temper tantrum. It's kind of what the left does when things don't happen as they think it should.

    Sure they have a right. I'm just not sure what it proves besides the left are a bunch of sore losers. And I'm not sure how this is helping the cause...in fact IMO it's hurting it. You don't have to be ecstatic, but stop being such a sore loser.

    People voted just like they have in every other election. Sometimes your party wins. Sometimes your party loses. But the next day you move forward. It's the one thing that makes this country different and better than others. We can actually have a transfer of governments ideologies without chaos or rioting. While it's not that yet, it is a start.

    Protesting is a right. As long as it isn't violent.
    Its symbolic.

    It really doesn't matter, it's their right to peacefully protest. Now we have people whining about their protest, as I said if people think Trump was going to create any kind of unity they will be very very surprised.
