They just ate too many tendies over the past year and now there aren't any left.


People just react irrationally after elections. My left leaning friends are doing it now, my right leaning friends did it 4 and 8 years ago. America, she presses on.

Trump's rhetoric and social views don't bother me. I just don't understand how anyone can't see his economic plan is a disaster waiting to happen.



That's what putting it into a process is for though. Does anyone ever do things EXACTLY as they state in their campaign? I'd trust that the people we elect can be smarter than that. At least a little.

I am also on pins and needles waiting to see who he appoints as Secretary of State. He needs a strong appointment here.



Completely agree on this. Newt. Sessions. Rudy. etc. He has a good pool to choose from.

the only negative I see about Trump is. He is a bully type and his brashness while funny and entertaining isn't a good role model for kids.

I hope as president he loses the need to want to go on twitter tirades and call out women for being fat or ugly or what have you.

That said, Hillary wasn't much better in that regard if you read the emails.

Trump is the guy who tells you like it is, Hillary is that girl who smiles in your face then trashes you behind your back.

I am a teacher and one of my AA students asked me if he was going to be shipped back to Africa because he saw it on Facebook.

People believe dumb things when they lose. You still have people who think Obama is going to take their guns away.

People who are scared are showing ignorance. Nobody should make you scared. You might not agree with policy or morals but it shouldn't scare you. People over react and take media reports to the extreme.

I've got some gay friends who seem to believe he will chain them up and throw them away regardless of the fact that he has been the much more progressive candidate over his lifetime.. it's amazing how they have been conditioned with fear towards the Republican Party..

This. What policy will he enact that will affect current African American citizens?

(We're going to do something about immigration, wall or not, that much is clear. So yes, I get the fear of illegals. But that's ok by me, and should be for most people.)

Exactly. I don't get it.

This is one of those moments that people need to remember and come back to in 4 years when gays are ok and no rights have been removed. They need to realize that the media often paints the Right in an extremely negative light and it's supremely annoying to someone who feels rational, but leans right more than anything else.

It's a major reason why I'd be hard pressed to even support a good Moderate-Left Candidate.

Ha, this. How are we not conditioned to understand the country is going to be ok. It's never as bad as it seems. We should know this now after Bush/Obama.

I know you are saying this sarcastically but I have seen people post this in all seriousness on facebook. They actually believe that men will be able to rape whoever they want because Trump is in office. How these people make it through the day, I have no clue.

But that's my point, relatively intelligent, well adjusted people are flipping out. Get some perspective people.

It's like they have a giant liberal safe space where they just don't get it and don't want to listen.

it's pure projection, plain and simple. they know if they won, they'd rule with an iron fist. they'd love to shove policy after policy down the throats of "racist white people" and laugh, so they naturally assume the other side is going to do it to them now. i really don't think trump will, though.
