Based on the underground rumblings I sense and the direction of the transition it is STFU or get our of MY country. That message is what I hear from Trumpers based on polls, the command to "get over it" or else., & FU anti Trump traitors it looks like a real fight is brewing. Even a GOP conservative who even mildly seemed to question Trump got viciously attacked by the RW Trump humpers.
I do not see how we move forward in any way. Trump lovers are saying if you protest openly they will go after you and sic on the trolls and even send them to your home.

(7,820 posts)I know that's easier said than done, and everyone's personal circumstances and level of risk vary. But we have the constitutional right (and duty) to speak out when our leaders and government are in the wrong. Now, we have unfortunately just seen a man elected who *will* try and quash dissent and whose followers will as well- yes, possibly violently. We may very well be faced with the question how much are we willing to do/take in order to keep those rights enshrined in the constitution.

(20,818 posts)I will speak up and speak out loudly and clearly and I will NOT STFU. And this includes certain members of my own family who want to use the annual Christmas party as a platform for their bullshit, despite our long-standing rule of no discussion of politics or religion at the party. If Trump people want to cause shit over people not sitting down and shutting up while they destroy everything this country stands for and has built, and while they openly go after and persecute anyone not white enough and theocratic enough, then bring it on. Enough liberal waffling and dissembling and niceness and taking the fucking high road. Forty years of that shit has brought us to where we are now.

(2,120 posts)... and this is my stock reply to them:
"Now it's your turn to enjoy the unleashed shitshow. This Trump opposer doesn't need his safe space or pacifier. This Trump opposer isn't some college kid you pussies sneer at since that's you're entire shtick. This Trump opposer is all up in your shit, face to face, rubbing your nose in what you've done by electing an unqualified idiot who's already abandoned his campaign promises and received help from a foreign power to get elected (oh, and before you whine there's no evidence, you never had any evidence against Obama and Hillary amidst all your lies so shove that claim up your prissy little ass).
And we will continue to keep the heat on using perfectly fair means based on reality (unlike you crying, sobbing little pussies who whined endless lies about Obama and Hillary since you couldn't handle reality) until your orange abomination is done. He will be a one-term President and we will block him at every single turn. What goes around, comes around. You want unity? Should have thought about that over the past eight years as you shrieked racist rants.
And there is nothing you can do to stop what's coming. Nobody is going to meekly submit to you crying assholes. The rules have changed. We're bringing the fight and won't stop until it's over and Trump resigns, is impeached, or leaves office in disgrace.
And so suck on that, crybaby. Keep on spinning your whining little fantasies."

(82,383 posts)means we do not have to shut up. We are US citizens and do not have to leave. Tell them stop whining, you know that POTUSes get criticized and that's America. We will be trashing everything he does for the next four years and they need to get over it that we can and will.
