There are a lot of unemployed liberals who ain't got a real lot to do.

Next week protest theme; "cows are racist".

And not all liberals or Hillary supporters were out there rioting or saying Trump's not their president.

Is it fair to stereotype ALL Trump supporters and conservatives as rascists? Of course not. So why then is it OK to continually lump all liberals/democrats in the same negative light?

The thing is, Trump himself was leaving an opening if he lost the election. During the first debate he said he would accept the results regardless. Then he changed his tune and refused to say definitively he would have accepted the results if he lost. He was also angling to challenge the elections as rigged if he lost, and tried to file a lawsuit in Nevada during election day. Who's to say he would have been gracious in defeat in light of all this. I bet his followers, if he lost, wouldn't be as professional and dignified as some of Hillary's supporters.

That is hypocrisy.

Come on people, stop with this high horse nonsense when both sides have their faults.
I'm sorry, where in my post did I criticize ALL liberals?
I called out the hypocrisy of those who are protesting violently and saying "not my president" when it's quite likely these are same people who condemned violence at Trump rallies and said we should respect the will of the electorate when it was seemingly certain that Clinton would win.

It's hypocrisy when these people say we should respect the will of the electorate when it seems certain their candidate will prevail and then "not my president" when that doesn't happen.

The will of the electorate was negated when the Electoral College was written into the Constitution.

Prove it.

Tell us all about how illegals get registered to vote and then show up at the polls.

Tell us all about your experience with illegals and how they brazenly flaunt the laws and willingly draw attention to themselves so that they'll lose their jobs and get deported.

RW crackpottery.

I'm also not defending those on the right for saying Obama was not their president, I'm saying it's hypocrisy for the liberals who condemned this and said we should respect the will of the electorate for turning around and doing the same thing when Trump won.

Chillax, vor...

There was no big violence in all those protests last night.

Let's see how long they last and how fervent they become. My bet is it'll simmer down over the next few days and weeks. Unlike the right who protested Obama's convincing victories for years after the elections.

But since the process was "rigged", it's time to challenge the result in court as he promised.

Sixth time in the past seven elections that the GOP has lost the popular vote.

What was that you mentioned about "hypocrisy?"

Hillary hasn't garnered 50% of the total votes cast. There were 6 million who voted for other candidates besides Trump or Hillary.

Wrong! It was to give the power to the states and not any one individual.
