The right didn't demand recounts, the right didn't send death threats to electors, the right didn't terrorize major cities, the right didn't boycott the inauguration, the right didn't send death threats to entertainers who were set to perform at Obama's inauguration.
The right handled their loss like mature adults, the left is handling it like immature babies throwing a temper tantrum.
After 8 years of birther crap, don't show up and lie to us like this.
They might be reacting differently but the childish garbage was flying just the same in 2009.
That's rich, you start the exact same garbage threads all the time.
Furthermore, Hillary wasn't even remotely getting the big money out of politics and in fact cheated the ONE GUY in the election that actually would have.
And I didnt vote for Hillary. So the question you now have to ask yourself is: what is so great about the supreme court eliminating all restrictions on bribe money in politics, as a Scalia clone will do. How does it benefit you that it will be impossible to win office again without begging the super rich for money?

You seem to often confuse your own rampant speculation with fact or actual events.
Heck, you've created a number of threads lately where you take even as little as an isolated quote and speculate and extrapolate until it means certain DOOOOOOOM is upon us and it's already happened!
Meet the new birther....same as the old birther....everybody sing along.
The question you have to ask yourself is why you care so much about this meaningless drivel and not getting big money out of politics. Is it because you see politics as some type of football game? What prevents you from seeing the extremely damaging influence special interests and the ruling billionaire class have on American democracy?
The people who had businesses destroyed, or who were assaulted don't think liberal behavior is meaningless drivel.
Influence from special interests can be easily tracked by looking at large donor contributions to each candidate. Would you like to compare Hillary Clinton vs Trump in this category? Wanna show a graph? I could, and its NOT gonna make Clinton look very good at all. She is the exact opposite of getting "big money out of politics". I'll take a self funded man any day over the likes of bought off people like her.
He is not a self-funded man. That is one of his many lies.

Yes, Trump is putting obviously unqualified business people into various federal positions, and it's not hard to guess that his 'economic plan' is likely better for business owners than it is for the workers (who are thus named because they do much of the work, in case anyone forgets that). But Hillary is paid for by the same people who promote political apathy and buy heavily into interest politics. Does that not benefit big money in politics?
There was one candidate who may actually have wanted to do what you're claiming you want. It wasn't Hillary Clinton.
I can forgive you because so much of the coverage of this election was divorced from real policy positions of the candidates, but this is a re-write of history that's still hot off of the presses. The Clinton campaign supported raising the minimum wage, expanding access to post-secondary education, and parental leave. All of these stances help workers. She was better in this regard than Trump. That is doubly true given Trump's alliance with the anti-worker Republican Party.
And no one ever hung effigies of him, or called him an ape, or anything like that. Or Michelle. Sigh. It happens on both sides. It's getting worse in a lot of ways, but I am certain the Republicans will do their share of protesting when the time comes.
I usually vote Republican; and I wouldn't be caught dead calling Mr. Obama (or Mrs. Obama) an ape or hanging anyone in effigy. Ick.
And I wouldn't have protested the inauguration of any of the Democrat presidents; I applaud the peaceful transition of power.

Well, there you have it folks.
They believe they are justified.
Remember them during Obama?
They were justified in forcing you to pay taxes for their schemes.
They were justified in removing your liberties to force you to act as they deemed fit.
They were justified in punishing you for being American, for believing in liberty and freedom.
They were justified in acting racist against anyone who was white, simply because they were white.
Now they are justified in acting in any manner to attack and intimidate anyone who does not fall to their knees and worship their ideology.
Make no mistake people, these people think they are justified in ANYTHING they do and they will believe themselves being justified when they force you to kneel as they put a bullet in the back of your head.
The end... justifies... the means to them and they are justified in everything they do to promote their cause.
Most of the people who voted for Clinton aren't acting like petulant little babies. It's just a small, but very vocal and obnoxious minority. It doesn't help that sane Democrats condone the conduct of the lunatics through their silence.

Oh, you mean like sane republicans ignored the antics of the Tea Partiers?
