Oh I'm perfectly calm. I mean, personally, I do far better under Trump's tax plan than I would have under Hillary's. I live in very nice, safe neighborhood with good schools. And my career is looking very bright. I'm also a straight white male, so nothing to worry on the social issues front.lol ok.
it's going to be a rough 4 years for you but I'll be here to calm you down
My view is Trump is horrible for the country as a whole. If I voted solely out of my own interests I'd be a hardcore Republican. But I can't (not these Republicans) in good conscious. Their position on climate change is absolutely sickening. And cutting taxes from their current levels will not grow the economy. I'm not a fan of trillions in deficits, are you? If we were going to run massive deficits at least get more bang for you buck (eliminate poverty, free college, spending on cool technology projects that will pay off in the future, etc.). I mean, give rich guys a tax break? Really?
I also should add that my long term view is not only driven by a sense of caring or compassion, but the fact that I have a young daughter that will likely have to deal with these issues.
