How can Latinos, gays, Muslims, women and veterans proclaim this man as their president when he was so disgustingly derisive towards them for 18 months? Can you blame them?
Yes we can blame them. Obama has spent 8 years dividing the country and proving he's a party president, not an American president, he EARNED people saying he wasn't their president. Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet and raving foaming at the mouth liberals are protesting. No one was protesting, looting, rioting, destroying property when Obama was elected, that's reserved for the "tolerant" hypocrites on the left.

I don't recall republicans taking to the streets and looting, burning, assaulting and destroying public property in 2008 or 2012 when 0bama won.

If people want to say "not my president" because they don't think that president espouses their views, fine. But time and time again, the democrats show us that they are our nations domestic terrorists.

Anti-Trump protesters take to streets for second night

I agree. But if Hillary had won conservatives would be saying the same thing. In this election, the losing side was going to whine and complain, period. There would be the same violence, and the right would not have accepted Hillary no different than the left are doing with Trump. There are moronic extremists on both sides of the fence.

Where was this type of nation-wide rioting and violence, looting, physical assault, or destruction of property displayed by republicans in 2008 or 2012? Go ahead, I'll wait

Exactly, the domestic terrorists that our nation needs to worry about, have always been on the left.

OWS or BLM, or SEIU protests, have all all eventually turned violent. Meanwhile every single TEA party rally was peaceful.

We've all heard a boatload of that kind of talk for the past 8 years and nobody left.

Don't be a sore winner.

Had you been around this forum after the 2008 and 2012 elections you would have read the raw hatred and no shortage of threads/ posts by people who said they would never accept or support Obama. Some of the general public hung their flags at half mast and some hung or burned Obama effigies.

No shortage of I hate Obama / Hillary threads on this forum. Some of the crowds at rallies called for the execution of Hillary.

Some posters on this forum and others were readying for an armed revolution if Trump did not win. Imagine if Trump won the popular vote and lost the election, as Hillary did.

This is the way some people roll in the US and it's certainly not unique to this election.

The History of Violence on Presidential Campaign Trails - ABC News

This too shall pass and there will be no shortage of people who will never accept or support Trump no different than Obama or Bush or Clinton......

The Bush Derangement Syndrome became the Obama Derangement Syndrome and now the Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Only thing any of us really control is our own reaction. Being a special snowflake and getting ruffled at those who will never support the POTUS is as much as choice as public displays of disappointment and in some cases anger at the election outcome.

There would have been whining and gnashing of teeth and outrage but no riots would have happened no wrecking of neighborhoods. Very few protests. Life goes on.

But the left are acting like spoiled brats for not getting their way claiming it's unfair. Hint, life is unfair.

This isn't 2008 or 2012. It's not the same set of circumstances. No comparison.
