I don't really care about Trump vs. Hillary. Didn't like either of them, but reluctantly decided to vote Hillary after the "Grab them by the P***sy" tape.

However, I feel very sorry for minorities in this country, and to a lesser extent women who want to go to college and not be housewives or trophy wives. They just got a BIG middle finger from the non-college whites in this country.

A friend of mine has an adopted daughter from China. Even before the election, other kids at school were telling her she needed to go home. She didn't understand & went home crying. I'm really scared for what she will face now.

Every bully in this country just got validated.

I'm from Texas, can turn on my accent if I want to talk conservative, and I'm a combat vet with 6 years service in the Army. And I'm white. Trump supporters won't hate on me; I can blend in with them.

What I would hate to be now, is a Muslim woman who wears any kind of head scarf or something that outs her as a Muslim.

You're 24 hours late with this PSA.

Send back Hillary's check immediately.

You must be an old person. Young people of this era are not like that. You are hanging out with very old people.

Nice try!!

Amazing that many of you deny that there were racial aspects to this election. I'm not guilty about anything. I have nothing to lose.

Nah, Trump proved middle of America was tired about politicians doing everything and anything within their power to help anyone other than them.

I don't deny it at all. A majority of one group was voting for Mexico and La Raza, another was voting for BLM, another muh China and Asian. It wasn't just racial/ethnically though. Another was voting for female identity, another for muh Islam etc.

Whites were really just voting for America they knew and to not be imposed upon and scapegoated with government backing for another 4 years.

Remember when John Lennon put up those billboards in NYC saying "War is over! If you want it."?

Of course the war wasn't over but the idea was the war could be over for you anytime you were willing to accept that you can control yourself and not others.

Maybe that's some good advice here.
