Don't be so pessimistic.
I bet the racism and homophobia were only acted to get attention during campaign. He even said he would protect the lgbt community during his triumph speech, almost seems like the most liberal republican already.
Trump will probably be an Ok-ish president, it's not the end of the world, there won't be a ww3.
The world keeps spinning so just move on.

Fair enough, but it all starts with the media, they set this example and they fuel this hatred. You have CNN's Van Jones calling this vote a "whitelash" on national television? Come the hell on, that's an insult to half the country.
The media helped Trump a lot just by being so damn negative Trump. A lot of people already did distrust the media, and they were kinda proving Trump right by being super negative Trump. This election kinda proved how little faith people have in the MSM, which makes me happy. Maybe we can finally see some less bias media.

Why can't there be more levelheaded comments like this? There have been worst POTUS out there, subjectively, FDR, Jimmy Carter, Nixon, list goes on.

Ok, after the shock...
It's not the first or the last clown to be elected and the world moved on. It's not the first or last populist to be elected with no defined proposal whatsoever, so I think the world will be fine. It can't really be that much worse than any other republican or Hillary, because he's not going to be king.
I'm more worried about what happens after Americans get disillusioned again after 4 more years of more of the same bullshit making people poorer and politics more of a joke.
The social rights loss will be kind of bad, I feel sorry for you guys. Sure, idiots like Sarkesian are unbearable, but one can just ignore them, and it still doesn't even remotely compare to the effects of real discrimination of women and minorities - which will get worse, like in Europe.

The liberal meltdown has been hilarious to watch this election. They are so much more tolerant than us, aren't they? Hahahah
I have seen liberals being this tolerant in other countries when they don't get what they want, but it goes mostly unnoticed....

Now watching it happens on the world's most important economy, with the whole globe keeping an close eye at it.... is just amazing! All this hypocrisy and real intolerance finally being exposed. lmao :lol:
