Trump wants to cut taxes on the rich and sink the US economy (and the world economy as a result) into another recession. If that floats your boat that's cool. Otherwise, there is a real reason to be nervous.
These are just three of his campaign promises that the "sore losers" are concerned about. All we can hope for is that he is a yuge liar and doesn't follow through on most of his campaign promises.

I think one positive out Trump is that he is the most liberal republican ever elected. Go back and watch his convention speech when he gets republicans to awkwardly cheer for LGBT rights. He also, outside of the third debate ignored abortion completely from the campaign. So I think on social issues there is less of a threat then the generic republican.
Trade I think he will be brought into line on and won't be ripping up trade deals
Immigration he was moderating in the campaign to more or less what Obama does now.
The tax cuts will go through so that's not great.
And foreign policy is worrisome.
Climate change has been set back at least 4 years so geo engineering solutions to mitigate its impact need to be pursued now
But I think it will be better than we think.
