Trump is bad but I get the impression that his voters (or a large subsection of them) are worse. I don't have a problem with the protests. If they can't stop a Trump presidency, at least it's a show of strength. These are extraordinary circumstances, where a large portion of the USA showed disregard for minorities. They have no reason to 'get over it'. People who tell others to 'get over it' probably don't have as much of a stake in things (or, at least, they don't realise what they might have to lose). It would be different if Clinton won and Trump supporters started protesting. Let's not pretend the two sides are equal.
