Seriously: who the fuck are these people?

People who operate within a completely different paradigm than yours*.

Didn't they win? Maybe they only did in my paradigm.

OMG the big liberal corporation hates conservatives and Trump!!!

So much for the paradigm where we are all beating them to death and shit.

In this case it was posted by my niece's husband, an Army sergeant who also wondered why police didn't disperse Anti-Trump-Protesters with  few rounds fired over their heads.

Man those pitiful little protests sure hit a nerve. Maybe I was wrong to roll my eyes at them.

What paradigm would that be?*

*Hint: Sometimes, the expression of astonishment comes not from the incapacity to conceive of a different worldview, but from the endless capacity of authoritarians of all stripes (who generally celebrate power and violence) to continuously portray themselves as victims.

I swear, I'll never understand the contemporary Americans' horror at protest and demonstration, including for those who would otherwise describe themselves as liberals.

I don't know about contemporary Americans or liberals but most decent human beings are horrified at people who vandalise property and assault fellow citizens no matter what they are protesting for or against.

I'll take your assessment of what constitutes human decency with a tiny grain of salt.

I think protests are great. I have participated in a few. So your condemnation is misplaced.
