[quote=@Vilageidiotx] It is a form of hating on their policies though. Liberals aren't sitting here thinking "Oh dear, how horrible we won't get a trophy!" The left is concerned about the policies Trump will inevitably pursue, and since the fact this is going to happen now has hit them all at once last night rather than slowly over the election, they're going to rage a bit. Democracy isn't supposed to be a faith, where everyone gets in line emotionally. It's a way to use this sort of civic engagement to avoid the internal decadence, and dogged poor judgement, of totalitarianism. As Trump would put it, it's to inject "High energy". So long as everyone follows the rules, and so far everyone has, the rage is perfectly natural. For the record I totally thought the rage following Obama's election was silly and manufactured, but I didn't see it as a threat to democracy. If anything it is an important feature. And we are living in a globalized society, so what happens in America will effect others. I mean, you said yourself you wanted Trump to win for reasons pertaining to Russo-European relations.[/quote] Me wanting him to win doesn't actually change anything, and if Clinton would've won I would've accepted that instead of throwing a tantrum online, you know. It's not my country - I have no influence and no right to an opinion on the matter except for a casual one. It's nothing to be sick about. And I don't see it as a form of hating on policies because so far I have seen nothing constructive being added to his policies, only attacks on his character, which is not exactly what I find good feedback for him. Have yet to see anyone actually look at his policies and point out errors. 'He's a racist' doesn't really prove anything to me, since I actually find his ideas reasonable depending on how they are implemented.
