The whole "people protesting are dumb/stupid/whiney/etc, where we they when the system was working for them?" line is completely ridiculous.
LOTS of people insulting protesters in the past couple years who've never felt that feeling that drives people to protest and stand up for something.
I'm not aware, historically, of anyone who has ever been the driving force behind a protest against something that was "working for them," but it suddenly negates the right of these voters to protest the system? Doesn't make sense.
