Please.  This is hyperbole.  I didn't vote for Obama but he wasn't evil.  He was a normal liberal Democrat who pursued liberal Democratic policies.  The demonization of the right by the left and the left by the right is why someone like Trump is being excused.  What Trump has normalized (racial hatred, xenophobia, etc.) is in a different atmosphere as Obama wanting to pursue liberal policies on health care or gay marraige.  

And most of the protests have been peaceful.  Please don't compare that to a roomful of people gleefully giving the Nazi salute as happened last weekend in Washington.  There is a reason why minorities are scared to death.
