The way I see it, you have two options on how to view the world post-Trump’s Election: Either the Mainstream Media is wrong and there is nothing to fear or they are right and America is now in control of Fascists. (Ignoring the fact that this is the same Mainstream Media that confidently projected Trump's loss and later would be shown to have colluded with Clinton's campaign)
Optimist: everything is fine
Pessimist: suck up to your fascist friends
Realist: states rights because the federal govt has gotten too big
