My mom thinks trump will build a wall…but she doesn’t think he’ll block Muslims or deport immigrants. There’s a lot of things Obama promised he didn’t do…she thinks trump will fall short,…except he WILL build a wall lol
I’m kind of undecided on national security. Kind of… He was treated way unfairly. If Hillary or dt didn’t know allepo it would be a week talk…then onto the next scandal. I believe in strengthening our borders and national security and not invading other countries. Cut military spending by 20%. Which is GJs views.

Yeah it seemed to be his big issue. The thing is we already have a wall in places. In other places it is impracticable to do so. I know he didn’t promise it but I hope he does something about balancing the budget. I get a feeling he will just introduce new legislation. Also to the people freaking out about losing obamacare he said he was going to do his own version anyway.

Hopefully he selects a good cabinet cuz I think he needs a lot of help in a lot of areas. That’s the most important issue for trump In the near future. Who he selects to the cabinet…

I believe in a strong national defense but I can see the need to cut the budget of the military somewhat. Just make sure that is not the only thing that you cut. But yes both Ron Paul and Gary Johnson were treated unfairly. Republicans need to accept Libertarians. We agree on most of the important stuff. The pot legalization issue is a minor one compared to the budget.

Im against federal income tax tbh. I am also against the minimum wage. I am for states rights completely. Seperation of states. I am a bit of a libertarian extremist. But if you asked the founding fathers, they all would be libertarian. I don’t think the world has “changed” in that we shouldn’t be libertarian anymore.
If you want an in depth perspective on Donald Trump, read what a man named Sam Harris has to say about him. I think the question of Hillary’s e-mails were very damaging to her. I have to say that I have always been wary of Donald Trump as a president. He’s way too reckless. I’m amazed that he got elected. When they have the congressional elections after Trump has been in office two years we ought to get a feel for how the country will fare under him.

I was pretty darn stressed before voting because I really didn’t want to vote for either candidate and didn’t know what to do. After I just felt resigned and like I did all I could. I’m upset Trump won and feel like the next four years are going to be a mess. But I’m not having mental breakdowns or anything. Hopefully most of trumps stuff doesn’t pass. I’m most concerned about his Supreme Court nomination and not revoking marriage equality or roe v wade.

My anxiety was really building yesterday as I feared what would happen. For one of the few times since I’ve been taking it at a 225 mg dose of trazadone in the evening I failed to go to sleep till a few hours after Trump’s acceptance speech. That calmed me down quite a bit and I slept more in the early afternoon after seeing Clinton and the President’s speech. I’m too old to get anything other than extreme anxiety over a non peaceful transfer of power. I would be a lot more disappointed by the potential scrapping of Obamacare if I were younger and more ambitious as the SSI system was a dead end street for my younger self. I hope the social safety net is not too tattered but I don’t totally mind my country not playing the World’s policeman for a while. I doubt Trump can turn back the clock on Globalization and bring back manufacturing jobs that pay well but it would be good if he could because I will have more future relatives without mental illness than with it. I can’t let schizophrenia be the center of my Universe.
I think Hillary was not elected president because I didn’t vote.
I can’t understand half the posts in this thread. it’s like you guys are speaking Politicese.
that’s cute and kind of dirty
Maybe, but who is he going to get to build it?
Not Mexico if that’s what you’re asking :mexicanflag:
But it was his main promise of election. I don’t think he’ll build a wall across the whole southern coast? But maybe build up the wall in places a lot of people cross over. There already is a wall in some spots but don’t they go all el chapo on ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ and build underground tunnels and ■■■■?
I’m curious as to what curse word has that many letters in it

Election night has wrecked me. I’m scared to death what great damage Trump can do to the poor in America, plus his promise to defund public schooling.
I mean I added an s to the end.
If someone would like to open another thread on their symptoms and well-being in light of a very stressful event, I encourage it. This one’s crossed the line into policy discussion.
