How is protesting a lesser form of terrorism? And isn't Iran already doing "whatever they want" to end the protesting - essentially through straight up terrorism against their own citizens? And isn't that exactly why the protesters are continuing to protest?

This may be, but it doesn't justify the likely vote tampering that took place. The protesters have undeniable justification in speaking out against what's happened and what is happening now.
