Thoughts on Trump winning?

I'm unsure if anyone else feels the way that I do, but I am devastated to find that someone so cruel will be our next president. He chose a vice president that supports electroshock 'therapy' to try turning LGBTQIA+ individuals straight. Everything that has come from Trump's mouth is a nightmare. He will not help people like me. He isn't interested in making things better. All prices will go up. I already can't afford life saving medication (that includes birth control, as I have a condition that it treats, and saves me a lot of severe pain and vomiting). He does not care, and he never, ever will!

I am a young disabled woman living in poverty with no health care. If I somehow manage to get my health care reinstated, it will just be taken away from me again when Trump attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He has openly mocked the disabled on live television, he has no respect for women, he hates minorities, and believes that he has power over the supreme court. I felt betrayed when my parents voted for him because I feel that they were not thinking of my future. They voted for Trump because my very republican maternal grandmother told them to do so. I am already living way below the poverty line. For all I know, Trump could attempt to lower the minimum wage, instead of making it into a living wage. He could easily make rent go up everywhere to where nobody could afford it, and then I would be homeless with nowhere to go. He would make it ten times harder to get health care, food stamps, and disability benefits. I want to continue going to school, but with Trump in office, he could easily raise the cost of tuition and lower student loans and grants.

A man that is so racist, xenophobic, homophobic, possibly illiterate, transphobic, sexist, nationalist and ableist (and a man who is supported by the KKK and has called Hitler a 'great man') does not belong in the White House. I am afraid to leave my apartment every day because of his supporters. I'm scared that someone might pull a gun on me or someone else close to me. I just about got physically assaulted on the bus for using an accessible seat that I needed; I didn't have my cane with me and my disability wasn't obvious, and a woman with Trump's face across her chest started to yell at me, telling me that I didn't belong in public and that I should give up my seat for someone older than me that might not even need it. I am in severe chronic pain 98% of every single day. I can hardly sleep. It's difficult to eat. I rarely have enough energy to even get up in the morning, let alone go to work and face the consequences of moving around. If Trump takes away my health care again, I could die, but he wouldn't care, because, he's rich and all he cares about is himself.
 
I'm just as unhappy as you guys are about this, but remember that Clinton put eight people into a situation where they all died. So in a way, Clinton murdered those people.
In my opinion, it's better to have a racist as president than a murderer.
 
Clinton is seemingly having a vote recount...
What do y'all think this would mean?
 
Before the election, I was not exactly pro-Trump but I was certainly, definitely anti-Clinton. When Trump got elected a ton of good things happened and I'm becoming more and more confident he'll be a great leader. A lot of things that make Trump seem 'racist' or 'sexist' or whatever are statements taken out of context by the mainstream media.
 
what really bugs me is that when ppl call trump supporters violent, racist, etc. but you never see any evidence of that right? it's only trump supporters getting knocked by hillary's. they're also making fake hate crimes. it's like "our lives are going too smoothly, quick! someone pretend to get hurt by a trump supporter!" they just can't help being the victim huh

but there is. lots of trump supporters are stupid as heck, trump's pretty stupid too, not exactly very racist and definitely not homophobic, but, he's not as cunning and as manipulative as hillary (which is a good thing lol good riddance)
people who support him are normally rednecks who are racist, homophobic, sexist (even the women to themselves) and dumb because they have no idea what they're supporting

i guess you're right, there's always going to be people who are going to be violent if they don't agree with something, including trump supporters who don't even know what they're in for. there's always going to be racism, sexism, homophobia etc. for both sides.
however, i've been looking for evidence of trump supporters being violent & i've found nothing. it's actually the opposite...
if hillary won it might have been a bit brutal, but i still think hillary supporters are less tolerant

Yeah. I was reading right-winged articles and social media posts saying that only the liberals do this. It's also true that they are more intolerant than conservatives, but they don't realize that.
 
Here is some news. Wisconsin is recounting their votes. Jill Stein was the one who paid to do this, but she was doing it not to help Hillary win. She was doing this to make sure the votes weren't hacked, but more realistically, they can't hack voting machines because they're on a closed network isolated from the rest of the internet. You can't hack computers when they have no access to the internet, and these machines don't have access.

What do you think of the voting recounts? Are you for it or against it?
 
I dislike Trump intensely but I can see him toning down his previously outlined policies. I don't think he's stupid enough to do things like banning all muslims and building the wall, and even if he is, hopefully he'll be surrounded by at least some experienced people who know what they're doing. Maybe they'll convince him not to act on his more radical aspirations.

My biggest worries are currently Mike Pence's influence and the potential environmental damage of reducing green policies, since Trump doesn't believe in global warming. Also, I'm worried about religion heavily influencing the decisions of government and restricting certain freedoms like the ability to have an abortion, or LGBTQ+ rights (although that's more opposed by Pence than Trump), but it would be the same under any Republican government.
 
It's kinda funny that when it comes to the social issues, Pence is a monster as Trump isn't so harsh, but when it comes to almost everything else, we would be better off under Pence than under Trump (since he's such an idiot while Pence isn't). I know Kaine isn't good either, but he's better than Hillary. IMO, the VPs were better than their presidents this election. I wouldn't say the same for 2008 or 2004.
