    First of all, I had to endure a full day of in your face triumphalism while at work. Not only were my peers in my face but that included my boss. While they all knew I was likely to be hurting badly, they wavered not. It was full frontal assault from eight o'clock until around four when I finally asked my boss to stop it. I actually declared that if this keeps up, I may not remain with this company. I reminded them that none of this happens when liberals win, we are far too polite. They laughed in my face. But let me recreate conversations we had today.

    White female co-worker: It won't be so bad.
    Me: My two daughters may lose their health insurance in February. My friends with pre-existing conditions may lose their health insurance. Why is this good?
    WFC: He won't do that, don't worry.
    Me: I have friends who are illegals with American kids. They will soon fear having their families ripped apart as ICE goes door to door deporting parents.
    WFC: He won't do that, that won't happen. We need to fix our immigration system.
    Me: We will start a trade war with China, ostracize Mexico and threaten NATO and the post-ww2 alliances in the Pac Rim.
    WFC: He won't do that.
    Me: Abortion could become illegal. My girls use PP for womens health, that could all end or become illegal.
    WFC: He won't do that.
    Me: I know the border, no way a wall is going to be built across it, impossible.
    WFC: He won't do that.
    Me: Muslims all across the world will think we hate them including our very own citizens. This will create fear and anger all across the Muslim world if he follows up on his promises.
    WFC: He won't do that.

    ME: If he won't do everything he ran on, why the F did you vote for him?

    WFC: Change.

    This is how we got here. I am telling everyone I know who voted for Trump that they now own everything that happens from here on out. There is no excuse, it is yours now. When Trump assumes power and starts to dismantle the legacy of Obama, I fully expect chaos. I mean chaos on a scale we have not seen since Vietnam. If you Trump people think liberals are going to roll over like we did in 2000, you are sadly mistaken. More of us voted for Hillary than did Trump. We are the majority. You will not like what happens next.

    That doesn't sound like a real conversation.

    Far to polite? Riots, Trump death threats on twitter, American flag burning, the left-wing meltdown continues.

    Buck up Skippy, your side has been obnoxious enough leading up to the election.

    Sounds like your WFC is extremely nice, sympathetic and understanding and is trying her best to console you and calm you down while you, like a spoiled child are throwing temper tantrums and spew threats because you did not get the toy you wanted. Oh libs..... most eventually grow up.

    Nice comedy routine. I think it will work. Have you tried it out in front of a crowd yet?

    You just caricatured into absurdity things that trump has said. So for your routine you need to bring down the caricature just a bit, take the edge off. It will get more laughs IMO.

    But you have a great start, yet it needs more work before it will work on stage. Trust me on this, as I have a decent sense of comedy, what works and what will not work.

    You represent the America I now cannot stand. Everything I said was something Trump stated during the campaign and ran on. As we speak, they are working on a list of things to reverse that may completely wipe out everything Obama did. We are the majority, you won because of the electoral college as you did in 2000. This time, liberals will not sit by while you dismantle America. Expect chaos.

    Obama's 2 landmark "accomplishments" ACA and Iran deal are done.

    I am rejoicing.

    Think carefully before you act, we're not putting up with your violence any more.

    It was, that is the total intellectual might of the minority that just voted in the worst Presidential candidate in the history of our nation.

    i didn't engage anyone today that I knew supported Trump.

    the one thing someone did say to me was "haha" and "go cry in the bathroom".

    this was from a supervisor of mine.

    seems Trump supporters love abusing their power.

    if this continues tomorrow, I complain to my boss. My office does NOT tolerate workplace harrassment.

    You can choose any bathroom you want if that makes you feel a little better. Crybaby es cry when they don't get their way. And you call that harassment? Lefties are always name calling , they call me racist and I'm not at all a racist.

    In that case, if it makes you feel any better, I think the person you were talking to does believe that Trump will deliver on his promises, but was trying to comfort you. It sounds like the people you work with were being nice to you, but you wont accept it.

    Did you really say "we are far too polite"? Are you insane, stupid, or have been on Mars for the last 8 years? Liberals in this country and on this forum are the foulest excuses for human debris that I have ever known. Have your coworkers threatened to kill your family or burn your house down? No? Then what are you complaining about?

    "Far too polite"? Hahahaha, that's comedy gold. I mean, did you manage to say that with a straight face?

    Exactly.

    If members of society resort to violence to force our government to act in a certain way then others will fight them. Next time provide America with a legitimate candidate and they may win.

    For better or worse, right or left, America voted and Trump won. He won. Amazingly, and shockingly he won.

    For those that supported him it is a sweet victory for sure, but is anyone surprised they are gloating? Likewise some anti-trump people are going ape poopy. given the disgusting tone and nature of the campaign, that is also inevitable.

    Well as the chinese say "may you live in interesting times". Although interesting ain't the half of it.

    It's not the liberals who are known to have huge arsenals of firearms. If the liberals cause chaos. We will defend ourselves.

    You lost because your candidate is deeply flawed. That was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. the woman is a criminal.

    Clinton got 47.7% of the vote compared to 47.5% for Trump which amounts to a difference of about 230,000 votes. Compared to over 100,000 votes cast, that is hardly a mandate. The extra 200,000 was probably cast in uber Lib California. Take a look at the map. It is a sea of red...

    I've seen plenty of photos of the liberal shock troops, they're only dangerous in groups of 1000 or more.

    I wonder how many would still be left after they so much hear of gunfire. I doubt all that many.

    I see you raised the flag of distress in your avatar. Should we be expecting air raid sirens anytime soon?
