As someone whose relatively well off I know it won't effect me much; I am LGBT but I feel like Trump won't try and reignite the social wars and I live in a liberal state any way. I'm far more worried about minorities and those less fortunate than me.

Of course you should worry. A lot. We all should. But we shouldn't lay down and die either. At least Trump gave a gracious speech, semi-incoherent as it was. He could have been talking about walls, putting Hillary in prison, muslims, bad trade agreements and praised his master Vladimir Putin. But he didn't. We are still alive, for the time being.

I wouldn't worry. So much of what he promises to do just isn't realistic. He's a moderate and he knows it, so hopefully he governs like one.

Are you a white Christian straight male?

If YES, then don't worry.
If NO, then worry.

The Fuehrer did remember to put on a three piece suit to celebrate Potsdam Day. And again on Hindenburg's funeral.

I can think of no other defining moment like this one that so perfectly illustrates privilege. If you aren't worried, you have it.

You should worry about the climate and how disastrous he could affect it in 4 years.

Frankly, perhaps we should be worry but i don't know honestly. When i arrived at work this morning and i heard my colleague saying "America just lost their mind", i knew Trump won. Look, we don't how is he going to be like. He may do what all politicians do when they arrive at office, do exactly the opposite of what they promissed in the campaign. We just have to see, but i don't know if his main policies, the wall, deportations and tax cuts will come true. He probably will hit the reality wall when he takes office.

So when will he start locking up all those who opposed him (including voters)?

And what time does the book burning begin?

Of course it will not happen. As i said in an earlier post, Trump is going to do what every politician does after winning an election... forget everything he promissed.

forget your nazi-isms.

he is just going to eff your economy, separate the country even more, screw relationships with mexico, endanger national security, break american power for moscow's and beijin's gain, build a police-state lite and enrich himself and his cronies much more transparent than clinton ever did.

not hitler...."just" berlusconi on speed.

If you are a criminal or a lazy thug, that doesn't want pay a fair share to society (through tax for example) and instead only is using woman/racist/gay card, you should.

If you are just a hard-working American, you shouldn't?

So should you?

You seriously shouldn't use the argument of paying ones taxes while trying to defend Trump.

As Scott Adams pointed out, ISIS would have pulled off a terrorist attack if they wanted Trump to win. Just like bin Laden said that the candidate he fears most is the one who did not bother to look for him for seven years.

as ISIS wrote in their own mag several times, they are happy for any western politican, who plays along with their wish to increase manson-like cultural war, just on religious grounds instead of racial ones.

hillary literally killed them and would have killed them - trump thinks attacking ISIS strongholds is stupid.

I'm not worried about Trump's policies, only how he'll implement them. He hasn't shown himself to be a very empathetic person in the way he speaks about groups or individuals he doesn't like. Hopefully the media will do its job and make sure that whatever he does, it's done ethically and humanely.

As a gay man, I'm scared for my safety. A guy walking out of a gay bar on election night had his head bashed in by two Trump supporters. A lesbian couple found a note on their car this morning that said, I hope your "marriage" gets overturned by a real president.

This sort of thing is now perfectly acceptable in Trump America. You better hope there's someone left to save you when they come after you.
