I still cannot call "him" president and don't see that changing..unless HE does something so great...but not holding my breath. I want to live for a while longer.

This forum should not be a measure of your place on the political spectrum.
The people here seem to be on the fringes with a couple sprinkled from what is called the "vast middle"
Being called the "middle" here could mean you are only one Standard deviation from being far right, which still puts you there in the real world, and not the moderate middle.
I did not support Hillary, and reminder: it is the Nation that is losing, but you really don't care so there is that.
Exactly. These Trumplings only care about one thing... pissing off liberals. All else is secondary, including the condition of our country.
Fortunately, saner heads are starting to realize the breadth of the situation we're in and how it's going to affect our people for generations if he is allowed to accomplish the bulk of his agenda. The Trumplings (those whose only goal is to stick it to liberals) are quickly becoming the minority and they don't even realize it. They're still under the delusion that the entire country is on their side. Hence everything that indicates what I'm saying is true is labeled "fake news".
I'm hoping this will open the door for a strong independent or a moderate Democrat in 2020. We'll need someone who can undo the harm Trump is causing as quickly as possible. Then we can get back to normal.

well, you are perhaps right about the "real world" scenario.
But on this forum, I am definitely more moderate than a lot of "moderate." (I think I am more moderate than you are, for example.)
and I am definitely not saying it is a good thing or a bad thing. I don't mind to be called a Republican. and I am one.
I always thought the definition of moderate means
In politics and religion, a moderate is an individual who is not extreme, partisan, nor radical. Even your definition of "moderate" is a bit extreme for my taste. I am just being honest.

It is interesting how 30 or so years of the Left having the bit in it's teeth has finally served to radicalize the Right. This time around, I'm seeing it amongst the young.

people have called me moderate, and I consider my self a liberal and not a progressive or moderate, but living in the deep south in an area controlled by the tea party, i am called an extremist in this part of the real world.
So i guess im saying you have to take everything with a grain of salt.
That being said, Pew research say what most people call "the middle" actually sits firmly within the platform of the Democratic Party. So if you are a moderate, you actually agree with the left more than the right, you probably just dont think the left will fulfill their promises/dont trust them to "stop" at the right point.
Yes, Trump supporters want to make liberals mad and destroy everything Obama's done, even if it was a good thing. They're spiteful, evil people.
I don't think so.
For example, I don't want to make anybody mad. I don't think I have that power to make anybody do anything they don't want to do.
