Who's The Fear Mongerer Now?

I can say with all honesty, that all the Trump supporters I have spoke to are exhilarated from a campaign for the ages which defied the odds at every turn and turned in a stunning Tuesday night performance. Every one of these people is also excited to see if this president can produce some real change in the culture and economic outlook of this nation. There hasn't been a culture of hate, exclusion or vitriol in the least.
Contrary to this, the liberal talking heads and newspapers are pedalling fear, Trump style. Hide your kids, hide your wife, America is doomed. This is an absolute joke. The openmindedness and culture of free expression the many liberals exalt turns to bitter anger when actually confronted with an opinion different from their own. Want to know why the polls were wrong? Because a vast majority of people could not actually admit in public that they were going to vote for Trump because of the social lambasting that would ensue. Is racism dead? No. Is every Trump supporter a racist? No. Is almost every racist a a Trump supporter? Yes. Stop waffling on about the death of this country, start acting like mature adults. Unfortunately, any republican nominee would be anti lgbt and pro-life, and I hope to god this will change someday, but the stark reality is this. You can be pro-life and not be a mysoginist, you can raise issies of race and not be a bigot, you can be against gay marriage and still be a good human. Stop the name calling, proceed forth with rightful skepticism, stop calling America a society of racists and realize that for every one part the president plays in your life, you play 50.
Just remember, 24 hours ago, you were criticizing someone else for not being able to handle the near inevitable truth yet you've morphed into that person today.

Your hyperbole is amusing. "Hide your kids, hide your wife, America is doomed" does not describe how I or most of my family and friends feel. But I'll ask my local Hispanic folks (U.S. citizens) who own and operate the best taqueria in this California county how they or their kids are feeling right now. I'll bet they are scared and for damn good reason.
Or like the kid who a family member of mine teaches- the kid is also Hispanic, also a U.S. citizen- who had some shithead little bullies today tell him at school, "You better go home [to Mexico? Sorry, California is home] and hurry because the immigration people are coming to get you." You think that kid has no reason to be afraid?
I could go on but you get the point.
And what about those of us who recognize the reality of global warming and now have a new president coming in who thinks its a hoax (contrary to 97% of published scientist who know what the fuck they are talking about)? We are very concerned and for damn good reason. Ignorance snubbing its nose at science. Yeah right. Classy.
Maybe not everyone who voted for Trump are the nasty things you mentioned but your Trump is. He is a lecherous, perverted, misogynistic, anti-intellectual, anti-environment, anti-science, rabble rousing megalomaniac. Good luck with that. And good luck with getting more than a few here to buy your line of bullshit.
Godfather.
I'm afraid of his supporters and now as president I'm afraid of the people whispering in his ear telling him what to do.
You know, like from January, 2001 - January, 2009 when dick cheney, Karl rove, and Don rumsfeld were doing most of the whispering.
some people realize the president has some real legitimate power that just comes with the job... like the power to appoint cabinet members and heads of things such as the EPA, which he wants to dismantle... the AG... the DEA... the FBI... the CIA... or maybe the power to appoint supreme court justices and federal circuit judges... you know, things that have real fucking impact, unlike the garbage in the podesta emails that amounted to zip
if the president didn't have any power why have an election...
You went extreme, I didn't say powerless, I said too much empirical unchecked power.
The main street candidate who had wall street dictate his cabinet.
I'd like to respond to the rest of your post, but I've got to drag my straight, white and male ass out the door to drop my little girl off at school.
It's a shame that a candidate like Bernie Sanders couldn't win the DNC as he was a great mix of caring about social issues, which are so important given the current state of the country, while also utilizing a grass-roots, can't-be-bought approach to his campaign and stance on the aforementioned issues.
Oh well. The liquor store will get a little extra business from me this week but that won't change the fact that I still love this country and all of the types of everyday people that make it so great. Stay positive, people!
these sore losers are no different than the people they accused of being deplorable
they all O.D'd on the Clinton/Obama kool-aid and want their Obama bucks
Godfather.
and to be fair I think the protesters are losers. we live in a democratic society and everyone has the right the vote. sometimes in a democracy a vote doesn't go your way. you have to live with those consequences if you live and support the democratic process. unfortunately and sadly people don't mind a racist, sexist, admitted sexual assaulter (among so many other things) in the highest office.
Claiming one side would take the high road had they been on the opposite side is bullshit.
Where's all the talk of jail Hillary now? He won, so let's get it on since it was such a slam dunk.
I really don't care what happens to her, but he damn well better follow through on that because it was half his platform.
Easy to judge someone when you can read all their emails and see their taxes for years. I'd love to see either one of those from President Don.
I honestly don't think his health will hold out from all the pressure he will be under now. Pence as POTUS by the end of 2018.
its coming to the point where people will find any reason to cause chaos
Oakland's protest got out of hand from what I heard, but beyond that the protests in 25 cities were fairly peaceful. Yes, dozens of arrests were reported, but that hardly constitutes chaos.
