I honestly do not understand why you people are in such an epic buttburning outrage.
You have democracy. Democracy means elections. You guys in 'murika choose from two political parties. Like. Every damn time its like 51% to 49%. And the 49% are always outraged coz they lost. Again.
You got yourself a president. Better luck next time. And seriously, why is everyone so afraid of him? At least he seems funny.

I don't think there is more outcry against the current election than there has been previously, at least not much. It just happens to be more of that outcry is online. Honestly, my father was still butthurt about Obama getting into office the last time I talked to him and he's been in office for 8 years.
In the US, the presidency mostly has power through media. Even being a part of the groups he is against, I am less worried about him and more worried that he will influence others in the same direction. Most people just don't feel safe.
Ironically, a lot of the groups who feel the least safe with him as president are still safer in the US than they would be in much of the rest of the world.
