The media? People are responding to Trumps own words, spoken and written. His actual platform.
It’s right there on his website, no media filter is involved.
Nobody is saying “the world will end” – that’s your words and your strawman. I am saying that many Americans will lose civil liberties and economic opportunities because of their race and/or religion.

I agree with the sentiment but if you didn’t notice, that approach failed spectacularly on Tuesday.

LOL, “the political class” – now there’s irony. The term the “political class” was created by the media. It’s propaganda and you are obviously falling for it.
What Trump wants to do is right there in his platform. Did you ever read it, or did you just get the summary from “the media.”[/quote]
So what’s the solution? Disenfranchise people? The people voted for this.
A lot of people. This is what a lot of people wanted. Even if it isn’t a clear majority, it’s enough in this country to consider it to be so. This is how are system works, even if the outcome is distasteful.
Non-democratic foreign countries are probably laughing their asses off about this. Because here we are trying to teach democracy to foreign countries, here our democracy puts a character in office that people don’t like. Now what?
Did you read what ISIS is saying? They are happy with Trump because they think Trump with throw this country into civil unrest (they said civil war)..
We have to accept the result, as distasteful as it may be. Short of some external factor, like the Russians tampering with votes which didn’t happen….Challenging it would be like challenge the fundamental system we have. Our system is good in that it resets every 4 years or 8 years if things get bad.
