Not a surprise with what the media has been doing. They've done it for every (R) President, but it gets worse every time. They protested Reagan, worried he was going to start a nuclear war with Soviet Russia. Worried he was going to take away rights from women. Worried what he was going to do in Central America. They called Bush 43 worse then Bin Laden, the worlds greatest terrorist. Hollywood commissioned movies like Fahrenheit 9/11 to try and conflate national tragedies with certain political views. Now with Trump, you have straight out suppression of certain viewpoints, implicit acceptance of violence against those in power, implicit acceptance of 'acceptable' racism, and constant ratcheting up of rhetoric by those who lost. I remember what Jon Stewart said on the Daily Show in 2012, to Republicans. "You LOST, it's SUPPOSED to taste like a shit sandwich!"
