I suppose it's all anecdotal, but no, the Rs I know did not piss and moan like the Ds I know are. It wasn't part of conversations you'd hear out in public, and the media was not fixated on it. You can make the argument that things like the birth certificate were more about throwing a fit than finding the truth, but that's nothing compared to the fit throwing going on now.Yes the did.
How many people publicly vowed to leave the country if Obama was elected? How many "not my president" protests were there after the last 2 elections? How many roads were shut down due to people crying about the election? How many news outlets were fishing for reasons to impeach before anything was done?
I'm sure that fear of being labeled a racist kept some would-be protesters quiet, but to say the Rs were crying after the last 2 elections to the same extent that Ds are crying now is just delusional.
