There are very few Americans who voted for Clinton who are familiar with all of the issues that you raise.

That’s probably true.
[quote=njtosd]
There are many, many who voted for Clinton because they believe that people who backed Clinton were smarter, cooler and simply better than those who voted for Trump – without reference to issues. To be fair, the Democratic party promoted that position with its party line, celebrities and references to deplorables. (I have many family members who fall into that category – maybe that explains my annoyance. )

I haven’t seen that at all. Most people I know who voted for Hillary voted for her for one of these reasons: 1.They’re democrats and they always vote democrat. 2.They find trump repulsive, what with all of his misogyny, xenophobia, racism, and general douchebaggery. They might not know where he stands on NATO, but they can easily see that he’s a total jackass. 3. (a much smaller number than the first two) They really like Hillary.
And I would think the reasons for the protests are pretty much all about number 2 above.

But a lot of this argument is about ego –

If by, “this argument” you’re referring to “why people are protesting,” I disagree. I don’t see it. I think they’re protesting because they’re angry and disgusted that we’ve elected a misogynist, racist, xenophobic douchebag as president.
