Protesters are protesting _against_ something. They want Trump to be president for ever, they are not protesting against democracy, or against elections. At best they are protesting against something that did not happen. This is just a mob, wound up by Trump. "incitement to riot" in the UK and usually results in a severe prison sentence.

These protestors believe that the Democrats stole the election.

> At best they are protesting against something that did not happen.

That's true, but the last round of protestors were protesting that:

- the police unfairly target black people, which is statistically untrue - white Americans who encounter the police are more likely to die, according to the FBI statistics.

- Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election in 2016, which was investigated with the result of nobody in the being charged with colluding with Russia.

> This is just a mob, wound up

Yes. Why are some mobs OK though? Why are some conspiracy theories OK? Why is some winding up acceptable?

> white Americans who encounter the police are more likely to die, according to the FBI statistics.

I'm not an expert, but that sounds unlikely. Do you have a good source for that? Hopefully not that meme bar chart that came up when I tried to find a source.
