I mean some of the protesters are saying 'not my President' but that isn't a thing. He will be. However 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.

Agreed but some are making calls for his assassination and this is just ridiculous and dangerous, all because of the refusal to accept the democratic result.

For those who missed Clinton's concession speech,
It was gracious, like Trump Victory speech was earlier that day. (Need to scroll to 6 minutes in for Hillary if you don't want to see Tim Kaine speech)
