I've read the whole thread and I don't think most people condemned the OP for being hysterical. The general thought seems to be that the OP is putting too much credence into campaign promises and election driven platforms. The talking heads take those agendas and turn them into actual events. But, like most campaign promises and election driven platforms, very little will actually come to pass.
Getting worked up over what could happen is just foolish. That tends to liken one to the protesters that protest events that haven't happened, and may never happen. But they protest because they might happen.
I agree with your post - except that folks have condemned the OP for listening to the media, not providing facts, etc., and then THEY post thinks like we were going to have a dictatorship. The truth is everyone is letting this stuff get to them in one way or another - regardless of whether they're red or blue or green or yellow or whatever. Nothing is going to change until we ALL stop going over the top with our fears and start actually CONVERSING WITH (not TALKING TO) one another with respect.
