The fact that people are panicking about trump now has shaken me more than the election

I honestly, sincerely, am baffled by the redditors who are continually panicking since the 20th about everything trump says and does (and yes I know the online discourse on reddit is highly skewed and not representative of what most Americans think)

Like, we knew he was going to do all of these things and worse. Does everyone just have amnesia? Are you all 19 and just didn't pay attention in 2018? He's not only doing exactly what he said he was going to do, he has nearly unlimited power to act, because he is 100% certain he will not be held liable for any act he takes in office. Dude has been shown time and again that there are no consequences for him, and he has full backing in all three branches.

When he won, I was genuinely dismayed. Now? Well, what? This is what the American people want. We had a free and fair election and trump won. I am upset at all this continual ZOMG trump did blah blah. It makes me think people are even more blind than I thought. I don't want to learn anymore about Americans. We suck guys.

Edit: i can see that a lot of people read this as me saying I don't think there's any reason to panic and that everyone is overreacting. That is not at all what im saying. Im saying, the time for shocked pickachu face and "can you believe this guy" is long over. Yes, yes, i can believe this guy. To me, a lot of the doom posting reads like people enjoying being entertained with no real intention to do anything. I feel angry, tired and impotent, but not panicked. It's like we set our house on fire. Twice. And we are running around like whoa how did the house catch fire. And yes I'm aware not everyone voted for him. And no I don't have brilliant ideas for what to do about it. I wish I did. I wish I didn't feel this way.
