The same people who said we should respect the will of the electorate and the INTEGRITY of our election process when Trump was talking about rigged elections, refuse to accept the results when it's not to their liking and say things like "He's not MY president"!
If you had said that when Obama was elected, the left would have called you racist and unpatriotic!

Also, the same people who derided and condemned the violence at Trump's rallies are setting fires, smashing windows and overturning cars or at the least, refusing to condemn those who do.

The same people who called Trump the candidate of hate or derided him for hate speech burned him in effigy and chanted vulgarities directed at him just hours after he gave a speech calling for healing and reconciliation.

The rampant hypocrisy of the left is on FULL display.

You mean like how the right respected Obama's two overwhelming victories? 2008: won by 10 million votes. 2012: 5 million votes.

Trump, 2016: -230,000 votes.

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

What was that you mentioned about "hypocrisy?"

Isn't this discrimination & a sense of entitlement? Its the same liberals who talk about multi culturism, political correctness & yet build a big wall in Berlin to keep the refugees away. Always going back on their word & unable to handle slightest stress or loss. And these emotional fools who hate their own country & have no respect for law & order want their representative to be in power. Wow.

Eh, you heard the same things when Obama was elected, minus the marches. "He will never be MY President", was pretty popular, and I even remember a woman saying, "I just cannot accept a black man being over me", which sounded kind of Freudian to me, hehehe.

Trump was elected, we followed our process, and it's just going to take some time to accept it. It took me a day, but I didn't vote for either of those fools, so I wasn't expecting more than maybe the first woman President.

I hope Donald's getting some rest and then will present the country with a kickass speech that includes assurance of anti-racism, anti-homophobia, anti-Islamaphobia and emphasizes the economy instead so we can move forward.

LOL. When did I hear about this last?
2012
and
2008
and
2004
and
2000
and...

One thing that is pretty consistent is every election, one group has a tantrum.

Yet another thread broadly generalizing certain groups.

Last time I checked both Hillary and Obama were gracious in defeat and asked all Americans to stand by and work with Trump. I'm not surprised the thread about Obama inviting Trump to the white house and him openly asking all to support Trump has no responses.

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 don't recall the right out setting fires and smashing windows.
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.

Millions of illegals voted for Clinton, so Trump really won the popular vote.
