As a life-long Utah Democrat who didn't support President-elect Trump, I think those people protesting the results of the election are just sore losers. Many of them probably didn't vote and therefore have no business complaining.
What did those protesters do in school when their favorite classmate lost an election or the biggest bully won? Did they have temper tantrums and throw fits or did they try to work for a better result the next time?
I didn't vote for Trump or any of the Utah Republican candidates that I can't stand, but they won in a fairly-contested election. Nothing rigged about it. You losers need to get over it and move on. Work harder for someone in the next election. That's how democracy works.
