This. I have a guy who works next to me who was certain that if hilary won she would be taking our guns away. I couldn't reason with him no matter what he said.
You think it's possible a lot of the fears about Trump are in this same vein, or are those ones all rational?
"I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." -- Mark Twain
Think of all the crazy things people said would happen when Obama became president. People get crazy when they allow themselves to be driven by fear, and that's what is happening now with Trump.
I've been saying for a long time that I think people hate Trump as a person, then out of that they come up with a list of elaborate terrible things that will definitely 100% happen if Trump is elected (people did the same thing with Obama and Hillary). It sucks to see smart, well intentioned people do this because it cumulatively adds to the fear for people who are generally upset and fearful. I understand Muslims, illegal immingrants, and inner city minorities being fearful or panicked right now, those people don't need others with nothing to be nervous about adding fake hype about Hitler, WWIII, or other BS that people say because they are too weak to just say they hate Donald Trump the person, and they are mad he has won.
Sorry about the rant, and it's not directed at you, I just wish people would own their emotions, opinions, and feelings, instead of hiding behind these over the top, ridiculous assertions that America is over, or racism & bigotry has won out over love, or that we are now Nazi Germany. Ugh!!
