There are checks and balances for a reason. The president of the US is not a dictator. Things will not immediately go to hell. Four years is not enough time to destroy everything. Life will go on.

I don't think everyone is necessarily afraid of his plans for stupid changes and laws. I think it's the hateful attitude and pretty much promoting hate crimes towards minorities. Even if he can't make it legal, his attitude and make it more common and accepted

you seem to forget the symbolic side of Trump's presidency
if he wins, it greatly empowers the homophobic, sexist, racist, etc. population of the united states, and by effect makes it even LESS safe for people like me who are progressive and LGBTQ+ who live in places like Texas

that's easy to say when the leader isn't actively discriminating you and/or people like you i do agree that the prez doesn't have as much power as people are thinking they do but it's still scary having a leader who you know would prefer you weren't there and wants you either out of the country or dead

it must feel very nice to be so privileged to the point where you can just brush this off and say "it's just a phase guys, lol"

Why not anti-material rifle? The rounds are a lot bigger and can cause a lot more damage. Or a simple Longbow T-76

the fact that half the damn country hates minorities enough to vote for trump is a little scary just saying please let me know how nice that privilege is so you don't even have to worry about getting killed or harmed sometime in the next four years if he wins Completely unrelated but I love your avatar, Dishonored is a favorite game of mine

I mean I'd agree with this if Trump's party weren't dominating the House and Senate vote too. except most of the republican establishment hate trump too

not everyone who voted for trump did so because they agreed with him. i personally know some people who thought trump is disgusting, racist, etc. but voted for him because they saw clinton as being worse

I'm rising from the dead to tell you to Not™.
Sure, the president is the head of only one of the three branches, but guess what? Congress is going to the Republicans, too. That's two of them. That leaves the judicial branch. Donald Trump will appoint a conservative-leaning person to the open seat on the Supreme Court, and Congress will almost definitely approve them - and if not the first person he nominates, then they're going to find a conservative judge to agree on at some point. There. That's all three branches. Do you think these people are going to heavily check each other? Maybe sometimes, but not the way they would in a divided government.
This wasn't just the presidency at stake. It was everything, and everything just fell apart.
But, you know, tell yourself what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

do you know the power of an executive order and the influnece? plus, senate and house are probably gonna be republican as well andddd the next couple justices, so, you know, it kind of is for some people perhaps not the end of the world, but the end of their worlds
