If Trump winning has the effect of making people more aware and conscientious that is not a bad thing.

I wouldn't confuse the two words... this is not protecting yourself, its sounds more like procrastination... and I am glad that Trump is forcing you to stop procrastinating...

These.

People do not want a choice of lifestyle shoved down their throats. That is the the issue, I am a Trump supporter, and could not care less who your partner is. My approval is not required. Same as Religion. You want to a Baptist, Catholic, or Pagan, go for it, just don't force me to approve. ![Hand](https://pics3.city-data.com/forum/images/smilies/hand.gif)

This.
Personally, I don't care if you're gay. Why the hell would I care about that? Who are you to me? Some people believe being gay is a sin, but that doesn't mean that they are going to come after you, attack you, hurt you. They just don't agree with your lifestyle. You want everyone to accept you, but you won't accept that others have a different opinion than you. That's hypocrisy.
The claim that Trump supporters are anti-gay is ridiculous. The claim that Trump supporters are racist is ridiculous. The claim that Trump supporters are going to attack people for being gay or black, or Hispanic, or Asian, or anything else, is ridiculous.
Here's a newsflash Dems: Any tool who does that was going to do that whether or not Trump was elected.
You taking care to ensure that your family can't do this or that if something happens to you, you ensuring that you have your affairs in order if something happens to you, is what you should have done all along, regardless of who won the election.
Any one of us can die at any time for any myriad of reasons. You could be in a fatal car accident. You could get hit by a bus. You could have heart failure from all this stress you are unreasonably putting on yourselves, you could choke on food...no one wants that to happen, but it's reality.
Acting like Trump means the end of the world is absurd. Hillary was all ready to go to war with Russia, and you want to talk about Trump causing problems? Get in to reality.
The people don't have to "STHU". Name a single time in your lives that people haven't pissed and moaned about the POTUS. You can't, because no matter who is holding the office of the President, a good chunk of people are going to be upset. THAT is reality. I can't STAND Obama. I can't wait until he's out. You had your 8 years, now it's time for a new president. And guess what happens later on? Another new president will be elected. Might be a Republican, might be a Democrat. It always changes. People have the right to voice their opinion about the POTUS - it's what separates us from certain countries that don't allow their people to publicly state how much they hate the leader of that country. The people of this country have a First Amendment right that allows them to say what they want, as long as it is not threateing the life, safety, and well being of the POTUS and the first family, OR the VP and his family, or any other elected official, for that matter.
We can mock what the people say who are cynical towards the POTUS, or potus elect, if we think what they say is downright stupid, and that will continue no matter who is the POTUS today, tomorrow, 30 years from now, 100 years from now.
Good that you accept that he has been elected - and fantastic that you are taking care of things that you should have already taken care of, but no one has to "STHU" and do anything quietly. The Dems are allowed to hate Trump, and we are allowed to debate them, and even have a little fun with their outrageous claims.
