Quote:As much as I hate to say this, I think you're right. But not all of them, just the extremists. I know some very down to earth democrats who are disappointed he won but aren't wringing their hands over it, they're getting on with life that doesn't stop just because a republican/Trump is in office. 

 

I was in Germany when Bush 2 was voted into office. Was there the backlash from the left for him that there is for Trump? Also, I don't remember crazy amounts of backlash when Obama was voted in. 

Please, no one on the left is scared he will be a great president. We are hopeful he will be just another president at worst. If the left is scared of anything, it's that the over the top, divisive and vitriolic things he has suggested and outright said are actually what he thinks and will do and that a huge portion of the country will think it is great. 

 

This part is not directed at you just a general observation. The way the right has been so completely dismissive of every single criticism of trump from people before during and after the campaign is, at best, disingenuous. Anybody with an open mind can see why people are bothered, upset, and embarrassed over his campaign and eventual election. At worst, it's open hypocrisy given the accepted criticism aimed towards Clinton. 

 

All that said, I would have expected the same things to happen had clinton won. Both were and are garbage people with garbage ideas and a laundry list of prior red flags.
