I am repeatedly amazed by the behavior of the left-wing segment of the population in this country. They’re fine advocates of democracy when they get what they want. But when they don’t, whooee! They start marching, fighting, burning, shooting — they turn into Neo-Nazis!

Come on, all you lefties. Donald Trump was chosen democratically in a fair election. Live with it, and support our new president!
