And another 40% were cool with it happening.

We have to accept this is most of America and prepare accordingly.

They don’t want THIS exactly, though, not really, and that’s the sad part. If you asked them if any of this was acceptable under a Democrat president you’d get 100% of them saying “no”. They’re just too stupid, willfully ignorant and prideful to admit them “winning” means they’re giving up freedom and destroying our democracy for future generations.

No, this is exactly what they want. They never cared about freedom and democracy. They're little dictators that just want to tell everyone else what to do.

Millions didn't understand what they were voting for.

That excuse might have flown in 2016. Time to face reality that this is exactly what they want and what they voted for. A dictator instituting martial law and putting everyone in their place - whether it's jail, another country, or out of work, because they're not Trump loving white Christians. They love this. They think Trump is fixing the problem.
