I'm upset about the results.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not upset about democrats losing. If this were Mitt Romney, or John McCain, I'd be mildly disappointed that we didn't have a better candidate, then go about my day.
I'm upset about who won.
The fact is that this man has promised violence, promised to restrict freedom of the press, promised to punish or even jail his political opponents, promised to torture people and kill their families, promised to ban a religion, promised to abandon our treaties, promised to undo everything accomplished in the last 8 years. Some of these things he can't do, but some he can at least try. I don't trust the people from his party, who have shown already that they are capable of nothing but keeping their toes on the party line, to stop him. And I don't trust the supreme court, who he will be deciding the balance of, to stop him either.
I'm upset that any person out there could look at the things this man has said, and vote for him. Whether they thought that he really did represent their values or not. I'm ashamed to live in a country where this many people can back a person like this.
And I'm upset that on top of it all, this man, who made all these promises, is going to spend four years with no meaningful opposition from the other branches of government.
I don't understand people who keep saying that "he can't do THAT much damage" when he already has. He's caused more damage just during his campaign than most are capable of during their entire presidency.
