Congrats to Trump supporters. Enjoy the moment. And own the decision.
He has the House and the Senate. There should be no excuses. If he isolates us from countries who have been loyal allies for decades, own it. If the racial division in America deteriorates further, own it. If this trade war he says he is going to start blows up in his face, own it. If the unemployment rate in inner cities and the overall job market does not improve, take credit for that too. If the national economy follows the global market indicators and takes a giant dump, that's you too. His proposed plan for the economy pretty much rewards the 1% and risks another depression, but you can take credit there too. If marriage equality for same sex couples or legalized abortion get overturned, give yourself a pat on the back. If he gets goaded into military conflict based on emotion instead of intelligence, enjoy it. When there are no regulations on the energy industry and air and water quality show signs of advanced pollution, don't complain, own it.
The flip side of this coin.. the what if Hillary won side isn't much prettier. Her presidency would have been more stalling and gridlock. There are notable advantages to her losing. For me, on a personal level, I get to tell my daughter honestly she can be proud when a woman is finally elected president. That would have been impossible if Hillary had won. She is as shady as it gets. And she is wholly unlikable. Had she not stolen the bid from Bernie we could have had a race where both parties were energized. That didn't happen. It's been obvious that there has been an extreme lack of enthusiasm around Hillary's campaign. Trump won by tireless campaigning and I have to give him credit there.
I truly hope the legions of his supporters hold him accountable for delivering on all of these promises he has made. And if he starts to wipe his rear with the Constitution, that these same people that put him in office will call him out on it. I have always believed this man to be a self-serving, pathological liar, so should he start to go rogue and take actions which directly contradict promises he made on the campaign trail (starts acting like a Democrat), I would hope you'd call him out on that too. I think it will be a testament to his legacy if he is able to make it four years without getting impeached or assassinated.
So enjoy the moment while you can. Ignore the global backlash that is gonna follow and when you look at our country in a few years, I really hope it is great. Or at least better than it is today. As of this moment, I'm highly skeptical it will be.

Quote: If the racial division in America deteriorates further, own it.^To the above point: Sadly, this has already happened to a large degree over the past 8 years. It has not been pretty, and is very sad.
Regarding many of your points in your original post, I agree with much of what you stated.
Hillary was SO unlikable and untrusted, that she couldn't even beat freaking Donald Trump. We'll now see what happens. Give him a chance, his administration might surprise us. We'll just have to wait and see.

This is not what I was expecting when I woke up this morning. I thought he had no chance in hell of winning due to the Clinton political machine. I didn't vote for him but of the choices we had, I'm glad he won. I knew Johnson/Weld wouldn't win but I voted according to my conscience.
Congratulations to President-elect Trump. May the odds be ever in your favor. You have certainly beat them already.

This is awesome...or at least much better that the alternative.

On your "own it" statement, are you assuming that politicians actually follow through with their campaign promises?

Celebrities can now get back to doing what they do, enjoying their million$, making good movies and entertainment
Instead of pretending that people think that their opinions matter

Those who voted for him should be willing to own everything that comes with the man they elected.

I'm still in a surreal state of shock. This is without question the greatest electoral achievement in the 2 1/2 centuries of our constitution.
As with everything in life it presents both opportunity and enormous responsibility. I think his acceptance speech was a big step in the right direction.

Anyone who voted for him is flat out stupid. Not shocking that so many people on here voted for him.

You need to own that 0bama brought us all that already, and what we all own now is the cleanup.

Hopefully some are moving to Canada as they pledged they would if Trump won, but I doubt it. Their words are more empty than a politician's.

You voted for a man who is due in court on rape charges next month. He's the president. Nice job.

You should pay attention more, she dropped the charges...again. There is no rape trial next month.

Doesn't change the fact he's a terrible person who shouldn't be president. He appealed to the uneducated and it worked. He wants to build a wall.... A wall.
