Not true!

See, that's the difference between progressive libs and everybody else. They gloat when their golden boy wins and tell others to grow up, get over it, and stop being racist in opposing the Obama presidency and his policies. And now look what you are doing! There were no huge Obama protests in the streets with end-of-the-world hysterics, even though just as many people were unhappy with Obama. Now there are. What does that say about you people?

What happened to growing up and living with it? Huh? Eight years ago I was told that I was being a baby and that if I didn't like it I could just get the hell out of the country. I was told not to be hysterical. And that is EXACTLY what you libs are doing now. I love the double standard here just like the double standard you have on EVERY issue.

So here is what I will say, just as I was told years ago: grow up. Quit acting like whiny little babies. If you don't like the voice of the people (and that is EXACTLY what you've told me for eight years), get the hell out of the country. Move to Somalia--that's where you told me to go.

You damn babies.

Some of these rallies border on violence. I cannot believe that the protesters would be so dumb as to make Trump and the bigots who are his audience right.

Eight years ago, though worried, I tried to be hopeful, wished President-Elect Obama good luck; and wouldn't have thought of protesting until he had actually done something besides win the election.

Just like the Brexit vote, why are people complaining AFTER THE FACT about the results when they could've voted yesterday to keep him from winning in the first place? They said that almost half the eligible voters in the US didn't show up to vote. That's millions of people that could've EASILY come out to vote and prevented Trump from winning the election but they didn't.

Hillary was a mediocre candidate with alot of baggage and worst of all wasn't easily likable, engaging and inspiring for most people who only saw her on TV. If Michelle Obama was the candidate, she probably would've easily beaten Trump and even Bernie likely beats him pretty handily. But the Democrats chose Hillary and this was the result. Any half decent candidate should've beaten Trump, but they chose the worst person to go up against him and now we're stuck with Trump for 4 damn years. >_>

Looks to me all they know how to do is burn trash and scream like infants. What, exactly, are they protesting? Protesting typically signals a request for change...so what change are they wanting? They didn't get their way so now they think they can force their will on to others?

I don't consider this a protest, I consider this a giant temper tantrum. They're so used to getting their way with violence, but they're about to learn that their way isn't going to work anymore. Boo hoo. Bunch of sniveling idiots.

Cripes, I hated when Obama was elected. Yeah, I was disgusted. You know what I did? I got in to my car and yelled at the world as I drove down the road. I didn't disturb anyone. Then I came home, went to bed, got up the next morning, and went to work - like a normal human being. The only time I ever said jack all about Obama was on this forum, and that was in response to anyone who said he was doing a glorious job. Not once did I ever get violent, whine and block traffic, set trash on fire, or throw a tantrum in front of everyone. In fact, I don't recall any temper tranrum marches down city streets after Obama won. Not even the second time.

You don't have to like Trump. And I fully expect you to closely watch everything he does, and I fully expect you to complain about every little thing that he does as President....but this melt down is...well, it's hilarious, to be very honest, but it's also ridiculous. All these idiots are doing is showing this country that they elected the right person.
