Come on Peter, the tone is horrible from both sides.
The liberals with the whole sky is going fall the minute Trump takes office stuff is BS. We know that he shouldn't do much harm domestically as that is on congress. Our relationships with our trade partners and allies is a different story, but hopefully with the right cabinet that can be marginalized as well. It all depends on the selections, which based on his selection of campaign officials, is a scary proposition.

Hey, whoa, whoa. Here we go again. Just because I mention the Left, doesn't mean that I don't see the same thing happening on the Right. I can't even listen to 5 seconds of some of the lunacy that comes out of Glenn Beck's mouth or that other guy or that other guy.

The conservatives have been just as bad, and I would argue worse considering one major reason. They've been bad because they paint Clinton as an agent of great change. If anything, she is more of the status quo, which is what the majority of the candidates the Republicans put forward would have been too. They paint Clinton to be this big enemy of business, when in fact she is just as tight with big business and Wall Street as any of our politicians. I don't see her doing much different from what Trump would do to be honest with you. Where the conservatives go off the rails is all this talk about 2nd amendment remedies. That is not the way our discourse should be at any time. Sedition just isn't an action I consider American. Sure, it is the minority, but so is the sky is falling component on the other side of the aisle. Suggesting supporters start shooting, and that segment of the population is armed to the teeth, is a dangerous course of action to suggest.

Well, depends on the Republicans being named, I suppose. A lot of conservative intellectuals from almost all of the main American conservative journals were talking about Clinton as status quo a long time ago.
