If you life is nice, live in a nice home, nice area, good job, you prob be ok-but those who are all mixed in together , illegals with legals, poorer, bad neighborhoods - big cities, wear a scarf or work at 711/. The new president has not spoken well of these groups - people are afraid, now the dreamser lose their status. Even overseas is leery, -Cuba called a military alert !! I freaking hope he does not turn back the clock eith the Cubans,,, Get out of your own back yards. It's not just about you ...
Yes, special benefits for Cubans should be one of the first things he eliminates.

The relationship to open with Cubans needs to stay open, trump plans on closing the door again. taking us backwards in everything is not prudent or wise.
Reading multiple threads here on how bad it's going to be under Trump and how their rights and freedoms will be taken away. Racist talk, calamity predictions - very paranoid and they have no reason to be. Heck I read a story about some people promoting on twitter that Trump should be shot.
This must the be result of hundreds of millions of dollars in (false) advertising - conditioning their electorate to believe the guy is Satan. How is that the party that brings people together - the party of equality and values ? Why so paranoid ?
I live in a city where pot was legalized for some time now. As much as it helps medical patients etc. there is no denying the anxiety and paranoia inducing side effects of this drug.
If you drug tested the protesters in any city, you would find the majority have cannabis in their system. That is why pot and protests go hand in hand.
Right now , as the protests are underway, some reporters have attempted to interview some of the protesters and the answers are the same drug fueled Jackass type displays of vulgarity and ignorance.
On CNN :
Reporter : So why are you so angry about Trump being elected
Protester : Because Trump does not represent me or my peers.......we gonna grab Trump by the p***y
On FOX :
Reporter : Will you support the election of Donald Trump
Protester : F**k Trump aight .....Trump is a**hole .....Dump the Trump ...all while he places face in camera
Well at least the Police will get some overtime tonight. Good for them.
I'm not the one with the problem. Listen to the people, what they feel and what they heard.. Or Stick your head in the sand, they are not going anywhere. We know racism is very much alive, and minimizing people's fears not helping . The president elect was not inclusive in his speaking.
Total nonsense---and you know it, too.
If "the people" you know believe that garbage, they have problems.
Change is scary for people . It's different this time .
They know this will be more sweeping than Bush.
Trumps philosophy is to do BIG things and although many have downplayed his accomplishments I think deep down they realize he can actually accomplish big things .
What are they protesting? Not getting their way? Not getting the outcome they wanted? This is the result of the self esteem movement where no one loses and everyone wins. This is why these people are freaking out. They literally spaz out and don't know what to do with themselves since they were always told they were special. And the world should cater to their every whim. Keep crying you self entitled little brats.
I'm a moderate. I'm a Democrat but in a lot of ways they've gone too far left for me. But I'm still scared and I'm happy to tell you why. Because Trump is a fast talking bully with no impulse control, no real plan (just words), and a skanky attitude. He's an egomaniac who talks a good game but IMHO is just putting on a show - it's all about him. I'm afraid in his ignorance that he will wreck the economy, start WWIII, or both.
I'd like to add that I'd love to see the manufacturing jobs come back (good jobs with good benefits). I'm tired of buying stuff made in China. And I also agree that US companies that send jobs overseas ought to be penalized for that. But here's the thing - it is a delicate balance and has to be handled with kid gloves. Trump is a bull in a china shop. And there are consequences to all of these actions. We'll alienate our friends and make our enemies even madder. Who will buy our products besides us? What about raw materials we have to get from other countries? What about China - just looking for a reason to start a war over Taiwan? And once that happens, it is kiss your butt goodbye. And I hate China - but I'm not quite ready to have them bomb us back to the Stone Age.
Not to mention that Trump has to have Congress work with him. Yet if he does, he'll prove that he's a fraud since his entire campaign was based on him being an "outsider". I heard (but don't know if it's true) that he's going to give Chris Christie a cabinet position. And Newt! Talk about your established GOPers!
But hey, it's his game now. Let's see how good he plays it. Me, I'm going to buy a gun so at least I'll be armed when the you-know-what hits the fan. Oh - my demographics are 58 year old women, college educated, good white collar job, originally from Tennessee but living in California (another reason I'm buying a gun - before they outlaw it here altogether) - told you I was a moderate.
