Yeah protests are fine. That is also part of democracy. It would be different if Clinton or senior Democrats refused to accept the result but they're not. Clinton conceded quickly, give a gracious speech, Obama invited him to the White House as per tradition and both give statements about unifying behind the next President.

They can protest and work to defeat him at a local level, at the mid-terms in two years and try and make him a one-term President. Some protesters can say 'not my President' but I imagine the inauguration will go ahead anyway.....
