Your defense of the protests is laughable. When Obama was elected you had a handful of people act out violently (which was bad, and condemned). But now you have Liberals doing that, protesting, AND rioting. Besides, a protest is usually to some end. When the Iraq War was protested, the end was not to go to war. What's the end in this case? They're either trying to get the democratically elected president removed, or just screaming in the street like children throwing a tantrum.
I’ve heard of worse when someone’s baseball team wins a game. And the last time I checked, it was a Trump supporter who shot and injured a protester. I haven’t been watching too closely, but I’ll join you in condemning violence done by the protesters.
A lot of this is vocalizing opposition, ineffectual yelling and screaming. But it reminds me of the ineffectual 99% protests. Or to a more cynical extent, the BLM protests. Protesting doesn’t always have a point except for expressing mass disagreement. And it’s part of the fabric that makes up people, needing an outlet to be heard and to say “hey we STILL oppose all those policies that are about to be enacted.”
There is a new president elect. But by protesting, much like protesting the Iraq War, they are saying “You do NOT have a mandate to enact these things you say you will do.” To name a few, the intention to privatize Medicare or to deport 2 to 3 million undocumented, these things would be worth protesting in their own right. They just happen to have a singular name to scream about.
You scream in the street to tell people, No. I don’t want that. They screamed when Bush brought us to Iraq. They’ll scream now as they pick and choose what parts of their progress they’ll repeal.
Neither side won a real majority of the vote. 24% or 26% of all voters doesn’t quite give people the right to tell the losing party to shut up and take it.Â
