At the very beginning you seem somewhat reasonable like this was going to be a somewhat nuanced opinion that just came to a different conclusion than mine. Then it goes off the rails into a insular and circular echo chamber critique of liberal Americans as a caricature with no room for any reality based counter argument.

Paragraph after paragraph painting the college campuses safe spaces and listing the most ridiculous examples but no mention whatsoever of any fact of Trump's transition or fact of how any Americans other than these college kids and mayors have acted. No critical analysis.

A ridiculous assertion that nothing can be intuited about a Trump presidency from his transition team, cabinet picks and behavior since the election is made. That nothing can be determined until we wait and see if he will be an authoritarian and decide after he already is in January (but probably not until at least summer I am sure have to give him a chance first!) You may be willing to not use critical thinking is this circumstance, but it is still available.

The picks of Steve Bannon, Rick Perry, Tillerson, Flynn...they give a lot of insight into what a Trump Presidency will look like and it is one where facts are actively rejected, white nationalists are given a media platform and open season on the environment is declared.

Hate crimes have risen since the election, many done while invoking our President elects name and he is more offended by SNL and tweets about that and the Hamilton cast but not how disgusted he is with swatstikas, Heil trump salutes and targeting of minorities being done while invoking his name. That shows a twisted sense of moral outrage and completely backwards prioritization on his part.

It is also concerning that his supporters are showing no signs of having any critical thought or fact ever penetrate their defenses, that he as he bragged could literally shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and they would still support him. He didn't mean drain the swamp, he has said that to his supporters now, it just played well to the crowds so he went with it. His cabinet picks prove he didn't mean it. Same with lock her up, because 1) there is nothing to charge her with that would lead to conviction 2) he has no interest in focusing on criminal charges to politicians as he is planning on violating our laws, constitution and norms for his benefit continuously. And don't worry Newt Gingrich has it all figured out they will just change the laws so then they are not being broken and where that doesn't work Trump will just pardon everyone!

He shows absolutely every sign that he WILL govern as an authoritarian without the best interests of America even being on the agenda.

I am a social activist. I don't need a hug. I don't need a safe space. I need to see evidence that my fellow Americans that voted for Trump are ever going to stop rehashing the election and filtering every action of Trump as if he is still campaigning rather than running a transitional President Elect official team. That they are going to hold him accountable, that they care that his businessss, innappropriate mixing of his children in governance, and his foreign policy via Twitter are corrupt and dangerous. That his conflicts of interest are violations of the Constitution. That nominating people who don't believe in protection of the environment or science to the EPA is crazy. I need a President who can stay off of Twitter and act like a grown up and not a whining entitled, arrogant child. You have a lot of criticism for young college aged Americans need of "safe spaces" but none of our President Elect who is a grown man who thinks he deserves the Presidency same craven behavior! He needs a safe space of the whole country free of any negative criticism! SNL, labor organizers, newspapers, magazines, literally anyone who criticizes him sends him off in a thin skinned I need a safe space twitter Rant. If you criticized that as well I would take your criticisms of the lack of maturity of college students more seriously. If when you criticized the students at Wellesley's safe spade needs you had also criticized the schoolyard tough boy superiority needs of the college aged boys who screamed through their campus in their truck taunting them and screaming outside of the sororities about Trump I would be more able to take your analysis seriously.

So yes many of us are pretty upset and vocal, but not because we want a hug and a safe space, but because we want a competent President who doesn't need his own safe space and lashes out if he doesn't get it.
