I was under the impression that protesters usually had... something to protest. A specific grievance. So what is theirs? What are they protesting? The democratic process? Are they protesting our right to run a candidate for president?

It's one thing to protest a sitting president. He's... well, *president.* He took us to a rather unpopular and seemingly unnecessary war. That leaves him pretty wide open to specific protests.

But what does the other side have? Squat. They aren't "protesters." They're *HECKLERS.* There's a difference, and we need to use accurate terminology.
