The Left's Basket Full Of Intolerant Crazy Ass Unfuckables

This is of course a counterfactual which can never be proven. I think those making these claims would at least make a couple observations:

1. If racist bigots were ever going to protest and march in opposition to an election result it would have been after Obama's first election. It didn't happen. This does not mean that there weren't racists and bigots that weren't equally upset, just that large public displays of dissatisfaction isn't part of their MO. Instead, I recall there were stories where they made a run on ammo.

2. During the campaigns, it was Democrat supporters that physically showed up at Republican events to disrupt proceedings as a means of protest. Republican supporters did not.

I don't want my contribution here to be misconstrued. I am by no means arguing that had Clinton won that there wouldn't be Trump supporters calling for Clinton's head and have their complaint siren turned up to 11; I just don't ascribe to the notion that they would have taken to the streets in protest as we are seeing from disaffected Clinton supporters. I also don't think Trump supporters would burn flags as a means of protest, although I couldn't count out some cross burning in smaller invitation only gatherings outside of town.

Given all of the hostility and talk of revolution and rigged elections, I don't think it's unreasonable to think they wouldn't have just gone quietly into the night.

After all, "By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," - Trump
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
