I don't know anyone in real life that thinks like that.
Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!

Actually, you do.

Trumpa's tweet from yesterday.
Paid protestors (lie!), media is against me (get a pair, you're POTUS now!), they're so unfair (I got news for ya, Trumpa, life ain't fair!) whaaaaaa!

To everyone thinking these are just stupid kids breaking their own neighborhoods and crying, you have no idea of the anger and resentment that is now felt by young people that will soon be directed at any government bearing the name of Trump.
I hate to break it to you, but the right wing scared safe space liberal narrative is a lie. I'm a millennial, and even I'm not sure what has just awoken. But it's big, and its going to be scary to a lot of the establishment Trump types.
And yet it was Trump that talked to them directly and said (paraphrasing) "try me...what have you got to lose."
I exist in a world among lots of millennials. Some of them are already on their way to success because their parents taught them how to succeed and also what to do when you lose. The ones that are successful and happy did not buy into the stupidity that everyone deserves a trophy for just showing up. Their parents taught them that that is bogus and unhealthy.
Unfortunately, many of them didn't have those kinds of parents and these kids grew up in the social experimental period where they were treated with kid gloves and never allowed to feel anything other than winning, even when they really didn't win. They were coddled to, allowed to misbehave, and "set their own direction" without any boundaries.
If you listened to Trump more than one or two times....really listened to him....then you will understand that helping the disadvantaged especially in the inner cities is of utmost importance to him. It won't be by giving them handouts, but it will be by jobs and infrastructure improvements, and educational choices, and securing the borders to lessen the tide of illegal drugs and gang bangers coming into your neighborhoods.
He KNOWS that the Democrats absolutely need these poverty-stricken areas and hopeless populations because for fifty years or better they have held a carrot out to them dangling on a stick in order to get votes and remain in power.
I've listened to every public speech Trump has given in the last year, and I haven't heard any of that. And this is part of the problem. As I said in another thread, Trumps words are wide open to interpretation, and everyone's favorite thing to do is beat each other over the head with their own interpretations of what he said.
This is what a lot of the division we're seeing is based on. A president has to make himself explicitly clear on what he's saying, his motives, and who he's talking to or they risk what we're seeing now. The presidents words have a power that Trump just seems to shrug off, either from ignorance or not caring. Either prospect is frightening, given the power he's about to receive.

Id say a big difference is that one side was just words and the other side is actually doing it.

Did you read the OP? I don't see the OP asking anyone to support anyone else.
All I see is it pointing out that last month Sheriff Clarke was calling for "pitchforks and torches" but is now on the other side.
In other words, you guys are actually being deceptive by lying when you say it, and are just venting and taunting when you call for pitchforks, torches, new Civil Wars, and 2nd Amendment remedies. LOL You can't even keep your story straight.

rather than projecting to try to create equivocation, we should focus on the real facts: people (regardless of their politics) who would incite violence over politics have no place at the table with the grown ups discussing said politics.
Sure, people may have given lip service to hyperbole. And they could very well have acted on it. But the facts are, they didn't. And they never have before in other elections that didn't go their way.
It doesn't help the situation to enable bad behavior by trying to figure out a way to fling that booger onto someone else.

A lot of folks just got "awoken" to the fact that world is not their safe space, their feelings don't mean dick to the overwhelming majority of people, and some times in life you don't get your way.
So they have the adult equivalent of a temper tantrum.
If you say so. I don't know anyone in real life that thinks like that. So that's a moot point for me.

You keep saying "in real life." Which is anecdotal evidence, and doesn't really mean anything, does it? No. Dismiss it all you like, it's not actually going to go away just because you say so.
Meanwhile, I'll point you to the countless interviews of protestors who say they're protesting because they're scared and upset.

stuff a sock in it snowflake. Get a job, accept reality, move the # on.
Jesus, is this seriously how you want to act for the next 4 years? Go nuts. You idiots aren't smart enough to realize you are burning down YOUR cities. Most Trump supporters live in the outskirts. We are here, quietly working, living, and cleaning our weapons.

There is a Reason why the United States of America Exists , It is a Nation of LAWS . If that were not the case , Anarchy would Rule . This Behavior borders on Anarchy , thus it becomes Illegal .
Anarchy does rule, but only above a certain tax bracket.

And? Is that some kind of "gotcha" moment for you? Videos of people I've never met? Haha.
Eventually you'll see you've been fed a steady stream of #### by the news media as well. Oh these next 4 years will be fun.

Eventually you'll learn you're not any smarter than anybody else, and that just because you didn't see something happen with your own little eyeballs does not mean that's evidence that it didn't happen at all. Kindly don't take my ability to grasp that concept as some sort of evidence that I believe everything I see in the MSM
"Gotcha moment?" Not at all. Simply actual evidence contrasted against your complete lack of evidence.
