    I lived in SA for a few years.

    It's a dangerous city in the rougher areas. Much worse than Houston's rougher parts.

    I meant Rio Grande Valley. Cameron County for Novice. Try Hidalgo for Veteran. Starr county for Insane Mode.

    Agree. Forrest tRUMP. "life is like a box of... I won't tell you what's in the box, but they're great, let me tell you. You will be so amazed at what's in the box, it's just amazingly great. I mean great. But I can't tell you. I can't. Have to figure out what's in the box first. But it's great. Believe me. Believe me. Believe me. Believe me. Believe me." Huh?? Believe what, a Wall? East Germany 2.0? Very Sad!

    Drain Swamp? Chinese proverb: Man who look to drain swamp need first use plunger and fix overflowing toilet in own house."

    Pre-election: LOCK HER UP! ....... Post-election: "Well....hmmm....maybe....."

    Lie! Fact-Check down b/c tRUMP OVERLOAD!

    Oh I know the Valley.

    Many leave it for SA in the rougher areas.

    I'd rather walk through a ward in Houston any day as compared to some areas in SAN Antonio.

    I have no idea what you are talking about OP -

    "Kids are getting beat up"... so do you want to talk about this-

    http://www.kezi.com/news/Racist_Incidents_Reported_at_Oregon_Schools_Following_Election_Results.html

    or this

    http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...ighlights-racist-acts-violent-threats-w449787

    This is the delusion of the Tea Party/Trump folks... always the victim, and they will NOT hear, much less listen to other people feel & even if you don't agree, express some basic human level of understanding. That's what is going to be crazy about this experiment. What happens when the kid that complains all the time actually gets what they want? Steve Bannon is going to have a key role IN THE WHITE HOUSE. The very guy key front and center in conspiring that the government is run by the Illuminati elite is now running the government or having a very strong hand in it potentially.

    So now the left, & the protesters are racists to the alt-right? How is it possible for other white people, along with every other majority of the minority to be racist? Do you even know what racism is? Nobody is beating me up because I'm white... they would however be angry with me if I was a Trump supporter because I would then stand behind a campaign ran solely off of racism, xenophobia, and insults to everyone that doesn't believe what you believe in.

    So according to the alt-right racism now is the definition of taking a stand against racism.... hmmm.... makes a ton of sense.

    Look... at the end of the day they are creating the very same argument that folks on the other side think they had when Obama was elected (which i disagree with but I agree they were angry and agree to listen to anyones issues of feeling disenfranchised afterwards). The other side is going to feel not listened to and ultimately will lash out, and guess what..... they will lead the charge to elect someone who is even more to the left than Obama. This a pattern we are going towards in America... more extremism and less pragmatic thinking.

    So what's the message I want to send to you OP & the other Alt-right folks-

    Just stop, and listen to the other side & be a bigger person instead of putting them down. It is in your best interest to do so at the end of the day. In the end you guys are not the majority anymore in the states & we will just continue to do this back and forth progression towards extremism. So please be bigger than this, and please please please encourage your party officials to have Donald Trump be a better president than he was a person for 69 years on this earth. If he can be a good president for EVERYONE we all win. If he just panders to his base & continues to insult everyone else in this country and around the world, we ALL are in for alot of pain & our country will never be the same.

    Problem: can't fix dumb. 69 year-olds don't change. Maybe 1 day, maybe few days. But 4 years? Nope. 4 years of dumb statements, dumb decisions, dumb tweets. Can't fix stupid. Pain for 4 years. Get used to it, America.

    Yep, like I told RL continue to rile up the evil liberals. You are poking the MAJORITY of the country. You're going to get what you ask for in 4 years and it's going to be hard and swift. You're going to give Bernie Sanders and Warren more power in the party (Thank you.) and they are going to cause as much hell as they can for the opposing party in the next 4 years. The reason the democrats lost was because their base was too sleepy, no energy, didn't come out to vote. That's it. The democrats are the majority. You should be doing everything to CHANGE that. Antagonizing them isn't going to help.

    We'll see how much he's able to get done

    If I would have voted for Al Gore in a school vote when I was a kid, my parents would have been just as cruel to me as well... maybe not so bluntly and they wouldn't have put it on social media (which didn't exist then), but they would have found other ways to try and indoctrinate me that if I'm going to vote for "evil" (yes, my parents think that liberals are actually the evil that their religion is at war with), my life will be ruined.

    My own family would have hurt me in a more subtle way, but in ways that would have impacted me as a person for the rest of my life. This is harmful either way, and the fact is children have been dragged into this election in far too many ways that will impact this next generation in a far more dangerous more divided way.

    Listen to that kid... "I voted for Donald Trump because I saw him on TV more". Think about that for a moment. This mother is cruel and abusive to her child, but this video is a lesson on how this election will seed a very dangerous precedent for the future of our country.

    Fortunately the right has a choice here.... they can either lash out at the left, and call them idiots because the volcano is finally erupting, or they can band together to reach out to the other side and give the country a chance to come together & heal.

    My guess from what I see on FB, and posts like the ones from the OP tell me that the Right just wants to say I told you so, and demoralize the other side further.... but you are only harming yourselves and your agenda in the long run.

    The whole underlining plot of the Trump 2016 campaign was rooted in this-

    The Majority now is not enough of a majority to throw us out of power yet, but they will be if immigrants continue to come to the states especially from Mexico, and other countries overseas.

    The threat isn't terrorism like they try to sell you. The threat isn't drug dealers & rapists.

    The threats are VOTES.

    I hope no one is under the illusion that Trump can, will, or plans to, unite anyone.

    Obama is leaving office as one of the most well-liked Presidents of the last 40 years.

    Trump is coming in as the most disliked person to ever hold office in Washington at all.

    So, if we're still this divided with the Appeaser-In-Chief on his way out the door, nobody should be expecting the Great Orange Hope to do anything but turn this divide into a chasm.

    It's going to be a very bumpy 4 years.

    Not feeling the most well liked president thing. I wouldn't put too much faith in these polls.
