So even if you don't agree with my last post, hopefully we can agree on Trump Protesters. They are ultimately making the country vulnerable and undermining democracy. Not only are they insulting Trump (which I'm sure he is used to by now), but all Trump supporters. They are saying that the votes of his supporters shouldn't matter because Trump supporters are wrong.
Problems in democracy begin with disrespect for the opposite side's views. I understand that just under half the country is unhappy because their candidate lost. That was going to happen either way. There were going to be unhappy people and there are unhappy people after every election. It's the beauty of elections--you're candidate is not always going to win and you have to except that. If everyone in America needs to learn that both the Republicans and Democrats, and even the third parties, all have valid points and it is important to disagree peacefully both so all sides are represented and all sides are weighed when making decisions.
Trump protesters are also just creating violence, similar to the Black Lives Matter Protests. They will never amount to any change and just make life worse for everyone involved. There are ways to create change, but violent has never worked before and it won't work now.
