Loot, pillage and steal with a little burning added in. I also love how the potential rioters put it all on Trump: "If you drop out now we won't burn your cities down". The left it truly delusional.
I wonder when the Trump supporters are going to start protesting, looting, rioting at Hillary rallies said no one ever………...

He said he wants to audit the Fed. That is a huge threat.

he wants to get rid of the trans pacific partnership, investigate 9/11, no more going to war and strengthen the ties with Putin.

Didn't Kennedy get assassinated for wanting to audit the fed? I'm not an American so excuse my ignorance.

The people protesting and threatening to riot over Trump are not interested in a free and democratic process. They aim to force the people into their candidate, their social and political frameworks.

Meanwhile they claim to be the biggest proponents of a fair and equal society, unlike Trump supporters who are clearly anti-democracy fascists that are all literally Hitler

For one, you are looking at this logically when there is no logic to it. Two, the curtain has been pulled back. Not even the DNC or GOP party heads are pretending votes matter anymore. Out right saying on msm, we choose the candidate, not the people. Three, this country is in the middle of a very large Marxist movement being carried out by people who don't even know what it means, hell, most don't even know what the Capitol of the US is, let alone our branches of government and how they are supposed to work.
The shutting down of the first amendment rights of people, the riots, are just the start to the Marxist government they are pushing for. When they get it, they are going to be hating life, as their safe spaces and tantraums could land them in prison or worse. They don't know what they got 'til it's gone comes to mind.

Protest from who, BLM? I wrote them off as either simply ignorant, or as an organized political attack group. (and while the former is still likely, the latter certainty does not preclude it) Now that they've moved into domestic terrorism, they probably will have issues continuing to exist.
From who, the political power structure? This is our protest against them, so of course they're going to do everything they can to stop it. Lie, cheat, murder - there's a reason that Big Donald wears a vest. Result so far is what, 13 people dropping out because he's been in the lead the entire time?
From the media? They've tried everything - even using Hitler comparisons on multiple occasions, but the media hasn't been able to use its tactics to bring him down. Even after SJW take-over of popular websites like reddit, and having Twitter censor his supporters, they haven't been able to stop him online either. Their attacks seem to use the logic of petulant children, or bad comedians.
What we're seeing is people who were sick of the system, people who never even wanted to vote before, who never believed the crap they spew every election cycle. These people against Trump have no credibility with his voters. Instead, since there's so much mistrust, they have the opposite effect and increase his support. We don't like you, we don't trust you, and you know what? We'll go out and vote driven by the desire to spite you.
