My Trump concerns:

Net Neutrality

Healthcare

Climate
(Environment for several reasons.)

Racists

....
I'll just leave it at that.

His stances on climate change are what worries me the most.

Arguing with people about the popular vote is so dang exhausting...

trump has shown he will only talk to media that says what he wants them to say.  the free press probably won't be outlawed under trump but they certainly will be punished if they don't show obedience.   this is all a power play by trump and the media has shown it will lose.

its a sign of bad things to come,  itll be a rough 4 years.  i wont be surprised if we see impeachment hearings in the next 4 years.

my biggest fear is the effect this presidency will have on the sciences.

I just read his first 100 day proposal. it doesnt say anything about sciences.

I just hope his science advisors can talk some sense into him about climate change.

so the whole if you want to preach tolarance you have to tolerate my intolarance argument.

i don't buy it.  not now not ever.  

in my middle school gym they had a banner that said "what right is not alway popular and what is popular is not always right".  trump winning an election does not mean racisism isn't there and the fingers shouldn't be pointed.

He apparently literally picked a climate change skeptic.

Yeah, what argument is he even making? Your opinion has now been proven wrong...because the other way of thinking is has won the election?

If that's how you want to go about it, go ahead.

But not admitting that the problems could be within yourself is a big mistake. The lack of introspection that many of the left still demonstrates will bite them in the dog if they don't shape up.

For instance, your closing sentence is a strawman fallacy. The notion that Trump winning the election means racism doesn't exist was not argued. The point that was made was that people are tired of the left frequently crying "Racist!", "Sexist!", "Misogyny!" when it is unwarranted to the point that the meaning of those words have gotten diluted. Same thing goes for the finger pointing. The person did not argue for fingers to not be pointed. He advised against pointing fingers at other people other than yourself willy-nilly. In another thread, you also accused me for generalizing muslims when I emphasized beforehand that there is a difference between criticizing a religion and criticizing people who follow a religion multiple times. You were also quick to label Fish Tacos to be as full of shame as Trump when he was rather neutral towards the election.

^^This is not okay. Progress can only be made if you listen to everyone's opinions regardless if they are despicable. Telling someone to shut up because they hold opinions you don't like only exacerbates the situation.

You're so deeply set in your views that you can't look at something without bias.... You blind yourself so you're unable to see other points... Ironically, that was his point
