The hate for Trump keeps flowing in this thread...I'm starting to think this board is an arm of the DNC. Is the wah-wah going on for another 4 years? The same people harping on Trump over and over....ridiculing his every move, yet he's President-Elect and a billionaire...not bad for such a 'simpleton'.... Should I add even more people to my ignore list? Defeats the purpose of having fun on the rest of the board...although I'm really wondering if any Republican who supports Trump really feels comfortable here. I know I don't. Can only imagine what happens the day he gets sworn in. I think the old Jez will be retiring.... Keep on hating dudes.

I think there are very legitimate non-partisan reasons to be extremely worried and critical of the President Elect. I don't hate or even dislike all Republicans, nor do I like and support all Democrats. This is different, and it's going to get discussed in a politics thread. So long as criticism of the President Elect remains in this thread, why is there a need to ignore anyone or leave the community? If you don't want to hear opposing viewpoints, then this probably isn't a thread to hang out in. When people criticize Obama, I don't take it personally and I don't feel the need to tune out as a result. Yes, there seem to be a lot more liberals than conservatives here, but does that really mean we can't all be friends? If you don't want to hear the talk, avoid the thread, not the person.

never have I wished a fatal heart attack on someone more than the President Elect. And then you say, no, no, better not wish that. Because Pence. And if somehting happens to him? Ryan. Holy shick on a stit. Cue Aretha. The three are nowhere near on the same playing field. Trump truly scares me. I worry about his presidency on so many levels, not the least of which is national security. Pence holds personal beliefs that upset me greatly, but whether or not he will act on those while in office remains to be seen. I distrust him and fear him a little, but I also acknowledge that I owe him the benefit of the doubt here. Not every politician is going to hold the same convictions and beliefs that I do; that has to be allowed in a democracy. If he tries to force them down America's throat, that's different. Paul Ryan -- I waffle on him constantly. I definitely hold very different beliefs than he does, but he has made integrity moves on several occasions that have impressed me. Then again, the party under his watch is pulling shadier tactics than usual, and he has shut up about his objections to Trump. How much of this is him biding his time and making power moves behind closed doors to achieve a a greater good, and how much of this is political opportunism? I don't know what to make of the man. I'll tell you I certainly respect him more than Mitch McConnell.

As evidence that these concerns transcend political lines, even Fox News, the most well-known conservative-leaning news outlet, is weighing in on Trump's actions today.

They're fake news now because they aren't in lock-step with Trump. And let's not forget The Washington Post. And The BBC. Basically everyone.

This past election was simply insane, especially when it came to the forums I visit. Many of them to my surprise were Pro-Hillary, while others were extremely Pro-Trump. Quite amusing to watch actually.

I'm still extremely pro-Obama.

Is any of this any worse than how most conservatives have acted the last eight years?

I'm not an Obama fan by any means, but Republicans have been smearing his name for 8 years now. Hell, some people have even burned racist effigies of Obama as some sort of protest against his administration. I'd say that Democrats/liberals have every right to criticize Trump.

I tell you what, after watching Obama's thoughtfully composed and eloquently delivered farewell address live on TV last night, it really has thrown Trump's poor oratory skills and vaguely unhinged-sounding rhetoric into sharp relief -- especially after yesterday's events. It's hard to believe that the two men are both essentially in the same job, based on how they each carry themselves.

I tell you what, after watching Obama's thoughtfully composed and eloquently delivered farewell address live on TV last night [snip] Which I'm certain was written by speech-writers, thoroughly planned in advanced, entirely scripted, all Obama had to do was go up there and act it out. Not the same as an unscripted press conference with your regularly scheduled CNN plant.
