    I disagree. There is an infantile segment to the support bases of both candidates so there was guaranteed to be over the top freaking out no matter who won.

    Yes they are. Results speak for themselves. What's your proof they aren't?

    What's your proof they are? Have you checked all of their closets for wooden crosses and white sheets?

    Yes. Corruption was and still is to a lesser degree a widespread problem in the individual base.
    Just as all people who voted for Trump are closet or even outspoken racists.

    When you reroll your character, you might want to put more points into logic.

    I just don't think that you can assume that everyone who votes for a person agrees with every single thing that person stands for. I don't think that every person who voted for Hillary is a criminal even though she absolutely is one. I don't think that everyone who voted for Trump is disrespectful to women or is a racist.

    Hell I'd bet that a large percentage of those who voted for either candidate did so only as a vote AGAINST the other candidate. There was very little support FOR either candidate.

    I agree there man even about the Obama point, I'm just saying if his (Trump) rhetoric stays the same then we can't hope for any kind of unity during his presidency.

    I'd be willing to bet that it won't. Look at how his rhetoric changed when talking about the Republicans he ran against once they weren't a competitor anymore. He got what he wanted, so his tone will probably be nice now.

    Supporting Trump means condoning a politician with a rhetoric BASED on racism xenophobia and religious discrimination. This action is a trait of a racist.

    Whether those people admit it or not, their actions speak for themselves. When there was noone around when they didn't have to hide themselves out of shame they cast freely their votes.

    He cares about his legacy probably more than anyone else, because he is an egomaniac. His acceptance speech alone was enough for me to give him a pass until he does something stupid again.

    He could (and most people probably expected him to) have come out and blasted Hillary, and said he he couldn't wait to open a special investigation, and to build a wall, and to yada yada yada... but he came out and did the best that he probably could ever do, to try and offer an olive branch.

    Again, that's assuming that the people who voted were people who were voting FOR Trump and what he stands for rather than merely voting AGAINST Hillary and what she stands for.

    It's a lot more complicated than "you voted for Trump, you support his rhetoric"

    Supporting Hillary means condoning a politician that broke the trust of the people she swore to serve, using FEAR and CORRUPTION and LIES and DECEIT.

    Whether you admit it or not, you thinking that you can paint all Trump supporters with a single brush, is far worse than anything he has done... because when he was racially insensitive/racist, he didn't call all Muslims or Mexicans bad, just some of them. When he was sexist, it was only to some women - the hot ones. And yes... I'm being glib for effect.

    In other words... pot, meet kettle. You claim to be tolerant, when you're just as much as an insensitive ******* as anyone else.

    This is a "Trump Card" if I've ever seen one.

    I'm trying to look at anything positive. The people of chile, the ones that didn't go missing, got through decades of pinochet.How bad can 4 years of trump really be? We will also have the hottest first lady of all time!!! He is also down with p -diddy and V-putin.
    No way out, monicas.

    Sorry but no. A non racist person would NEVER condone someone with his rhetoric. EVER. They found the racism he was spewing acceptable enough to have their votes cast in his favour with their own hands.
