Y'all gotta realize that some of us are weary because of the direct violence that comes with this presidency. Sure he can’t do x,y,z, but that’s not going to stop his supporters from harassing, murdering and discriminating against minorities. His election has given them the thumbs up to be openly prejudiced at a greater amplitude. The direct threat comes from his supporters, and that’s what’s terrifying. These people are all around us in positions of power and education. Their confidence in their bigotry has been restored and multiplied and that is extremely worrisome.

This. Not worried much about what Trump can do, but about what his supporters WILL do.

I can’t say I’m not afraid of what some of the Trump supporters will do, but I’m equally as terrified about what Clinton’s supporters will do-- about what this anti-democracy movement will elicit and what it could mean for the United States. Clinton supporters are being hurt and killed. Trump supporters are being hurt and killed, too. There is a war going on between both sides. I haven’t ever been a Trump supporter and I didn’t vote for Trump, but I can say that I’m disappointed, especially in those on the anti-Trump and Democratic side, as a whole. It’s okay to be angry with the outcome. It’s okay to voice that anger, frustration, and fear, but when your movement becomes a contradiction... when you start engaging in an act that you were against Trump for inciting in the first place, you really have to stop and think about what you’re doing and how hypocritical and backward this is. You wanted so badly to prevent a fascist from getting into the White House that you became fascists.
