Justify the hypocrisy

Could Sen. Mitch McConnell — or any other Republican — tell me and the majority of voters (Hillary Clinton did get almost 3 million more votes than President Donald Trump) why we should not be protesting against Trump, when the Tea Party protested against President Barack Obama while the Republicans in Congress did everything they could to sabotage Obama’s presidency?

The hypocrisy baffles my mind.
