So What Is Everyone So Afraid Of?

As an independent, I just don't get it. Sure, we all get upset when our side doesn't win. But I know generally intelligent people posting on Facebook, Instagram, Etc. that they are "scared" for the future of their children. That "As a woman they are sad and worried for their future rights," etc. Why is everyone writing a stupid message to their children today (I'm looking at you John Stewart).
Is the media THAT strong to cut through who I know to be good, honest, intelligent people and make them think that Trump is going to come in and start removing rights? That has to be the only answer.
And anyone who is "afraid for their children," $19 Trillion dollar debt we're sitting on handing to future generations to deal with? I do get the fear of the wall, but immigration law enforcement is an actual problem. We need to get a handle on that. Maybe the wall isn't the best idea, but can we give the guy a chance to try to figure this issue out since Progs have no interest in it?
Why do people allow critical thinking to go right out of the window? I can't ask them, but I want a list of what they think Trump is going to do that is so bad.
I really would love perspective from someone who is "afraid" left or not, what policies does Trump enact that will harm women, LGBTQ, etc.? What is he going to do that is so scary?

They're just acting that way to try to scare people.

I get the lower class left buying it (like the lower class right buying dumb things about the left, same thing), not the college grads/successful people. Or at least I give them more credit than that. It feels like they have real concerns, and I want to know what they are.

People in my office that have legitimate workings visas are afraid of being deported. Comparing DJT to Hitler. It's retarded. Ahhh, I can say that now.

People watch too much cable TV.
Trump is unpredictable and that's not really a quality I would prefer to have in my president but he's not going to start nuclear war with Russia.
Hell, he probably won't even significantly ramp up deportations or cut Obamacare, not until he has at least a stopgap measure.

He's unpredictable in that he doesn't follow political norms.
Look at his actions through the lens of "in the nation's best interests" and you have a better idea of what he will do.

They have been conditioned by their media and politicians to be fearful if they don't get their way. It's amazing how gullible and naive they can be and this goes for both sides.

A highly intelligent friend of mine has major concerns about Putin and Syria ties with trump. I don't know if he believes there are actual ties or if he is just concerned that Trump plans on appeasing them, which he feels would be disastrous.
This morning he sent me an article about putin congratulating Trump and the Duma applauding.

Trump's economic policy will run the deficit to unsustainable levels. It won't create jobs. Manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the USA. You have to look to the future and adapt to a world economy. Job growth will slow worse than it already is and another recession is on the horizon within 2 years.
Trump's lack of intelligence on all issues outside of trade is the biggest concern.
His inability to listen or execute the directions of his campaign staff lead me to believe he will do the same with his cabinet.
His win despite not listening to his campaign staff repeatedly will only embolden him to continue doing things his way despite his lack of knowledge.
The country is resilient and will survive, but things are probably going to be bad.

This is really what I think it happens. In terms of social rights, I think he'll hold the line on most issues, but a conservative court may go after Roe v Wade, and that's one area where is should be ok to peel back a bit.
I think Obamacare is a wash. It's a failure of a program, but we can't necessarily go back to the way it was either. We need a solution or a fix, either of those things is a good thing but it won't happen right away imo.

Thanks for the legit answer.

Afraid of what the media told them to be afraid of. And last night demonstrates how clueless the media is.

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.
I am also on pins and needles waiting to see who he appoints as Secretary of State. He needs a strong appointment here.
I am also interested to see what the Fed does with the interest rates as well. I think they hold for a little while longer now.

There is a lot of things to be afraid of with this presidency but I think that maybe this is what most Americans wanted and they were willing to pay the price for it.
As a black man, I am super worried about what is going to happen to us and the other minorities with him in office (and before anybody said anything smart, I am a government employee that served his country in the Navy when I was 17 years old for 14 years while having his boots in Middle East and the last six years doing government work while getting my BA in Project Management and working on my third BA degree in Drafting without any government assistance during that time) including education, homeless and veterans affairs
