I have heard numerous cases of Hillary supporters claiming to have been victimized by Trump supporters, only to have these cases exposed as hoaxes. I have yet to hear of any Trump supporters who falsely claimed to have NOT been victimized by Hillary supporters, when in fact they have been.
If you are aware of any examples of such a thing happening, please share them. Otherwise, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to take that poster's word that he has not been victimized by anyone, even though he is an immigrant who voted for Trump.
That he will stack the SCOTUS full of anti-choice judges.
This was the main issue I voted on due to not particularly liking either candidate.
You mean he will stack the court with judges who are constructionist and these issues will then be determined by the states as was intended by our governments design? This is a state issue, not a federal one.
I have been here for more than a decade now & lived in the south, midwest, mountains & still love this country more than my country of origin. Which means I had good experience living in so-called "racist" regions. I still live in the south & love it here. Migrants are risking their lives to be here so what does it say about usa & its people? I understand migrants from poor countries with no opportunities are desperately trying to avoid moving back. Why do you think migrants from progressive countries like India & China are lining up to move here?
Asian countries are doing fine so why not move back if usa is so bad? Its not about the money because you can find a job easily there especially since you have lived in usa so its a big plus. Dont think all migrants are this pathetic bunch of victims who are always ridiculed & need your pity. Some of them use racism as an excuse when they dont get their way. The fact that they are still here & panicking at the prospect of having to move back to their countries means they are happy here.
Instead of believing in rumors, corrupt media & over reacting, lets be realistic & list all your concerns here. All of us can weigh in & see if we can address them in a civilized manner. What do you fear most from his presidency? Whats the worst that can happen? I am a legal immigrant & I was afraid about any hate crimes against me but life is going on as usual. I was open about voting for Trump so i lost some liberal friends in the process but thats the worst thing that has happened so far.
What are you afraid of most & maybe we can discuss if the fear is justified & how we can address your concerns. Lets be understanding & not badger each other. Problems & fears will only escalate by pointing fingers at each other.
I don't fear jack. You're the immigrant not me.
I'm just going to take care of mine.
I expect the economy to tank and the value of the dollar to decline. If Trump, Bannon and the rest keep pissing off the rest of the world, the "manufacturing jobs" he promised are going to be a chimera because NOBODY WILL BUY what we produce.
My biggest fear is trump followers are fanatical and he has a cult like following.(societies have fallen for charismatic leaders before who are incompetent at best dangerous at worst). when you have that type of following you are immune to criticism.like a mother unconditional love for her kid trump can do anything and his followers will always stand by him instead being realistic and criticizing him when he makes a mistake.
therefore he has no standards to live up to as long as he is trump(and what else can he be) he will always be a great success to his fans.

India & China are progressive Countries? How so?
Sounds like some American people are being 'schooled' by Trump University.
I don't have any fears about Trump's presidency, only giddy anticipation. But in order to contribute to this thread, I'll say that a friend of mine told me that some of his friends are worried that Trump's Supreme Court justices will overturn gay marriage. Again, that is an outcome that I would favor. But if you happened to be part of a gay marriage, I can certainly understand why this would be a concern. So I would have to say that this would be a fear that has an at-least somewhat chance of actually happening.
Yes, the fear is very rational. It has my lesbian cousin quite depressed at the moment.
That he doesn't follow through with his campaign claims and ends up "dealing" with the democrats too much resulting in garbage like Bush and Kennedy's No Child Left Behind, that he puts in more progressive changes under the guise of conservative constitutionality and this results in a massive anger by the people that conservative/Constitutional supporters are no different and we end up with only democrats for the next 30-40 years because we missed our chance to actually put in a true conservative and constitutional candidate.
I doubt if he will do any of the 76 things he said he would NxtGen!
It was all pre-election BS and they fell for it.... AGAIN!!

As someone who begrudgingly voted for him, I guess my worst fear is that he turns in to the Liberal that many of us suspect that he is. Or, being that he is essentially untethered to any sort of ideology, his egomania will make him more willing to bend or cave in an effort to appeal to his popularity as a president rather than trying to steer the country in a given direction.

I fear Trumps tax cuts that will add $6.2 trillion dollars to our national debt in the next 10 years. And these tax cuts will only give middle class families a 1.5% increase in after tax income (while giving the richest 0.1% of Americans a 14.2% increase in after tax income.) Forbes Welcome
And Trump also wants to increase military spending by around $750 billion dollars every 10 years. Forbes Welcome
Trumps tax cuts and military spending alone will add $7 trillion dollars to our deficits in the next 10 years, or $500+ billion dollar deficits each year.
In 2017 our federal deficit is projected to be $503 billion dollars. And with Trumps tax cuts and military spending our future deficits will be around $1 trillion dollars (that's $1 trillion dollars added to our national debt each year.) 2017 United States Federal Budget
America faces huge increases in Social Security and healthcare spending due to increased numbers of people retiring, how will we face these problems with $1 trillion dollar deficits?
And the higher our national debt rises the more US currency loses value. Countries like Russia and China have feared the stability of the US dollar for years and they have been making deals to remove the US dollar as the worlds reserve currency. And if our debt rises higher other countries will fear the US dollar even more and be scared to do business with America, and then other countries will give business to Russia and China lowering America's international standing even more. https://www.dukascopy.com/fxcomm/blo...46&language=en
And with time Trumps tax cuts will lower our GDP and jobs growth. By 2027 the tax cuts will lower GDP by 0.43% and cut 692,000 jobs, and by 2040 the tax cuts will eliminate 11 million jobs. Trump's Tax Plan Would Destroy 11 Million Jobs: Analysis
How can America survive $1 trillion dollar deficits, increases in Social Security and healthcare spending, a US dollar with less value, other countries scared to do business with America, and a economy with falling GDP and falling jobs growth?
