Should Trump Supporters/Voters Feel Guilty about Trump's win?

Should Trump Supporters/Voters Feel Guilty about Trump's win?

  • Total voters

Voters in the state of New York probably know Donald Trump the best. NY Results (percentage wise): Trump 37.11% - Clinton 58.34%

Voters in Palm Beach County, Florida probably know Donald Trump second best. Palm Beach Co. Results: Trump 41.2% - Clinton 56.51%

Some of what I know about Trump: He distinguished himself at a private Military High School. He graduated Wharton's College of Business University of Pennsylvania (one of the most prestigious Business Colleges in the world). His track record in real estate development and in a wide array of other interests, his penchant for finding the limelight, and his unyielding tendency to self-promote established him as world renowned.
He has no clear cut ideology. He makes his decisions based on pragmatic calculus. He appears to have very little concern about honesty and grace. While he does not articulate very well or speak eloquently, he has an uncanny ability to frame himself as an unbelievable winner with genius insight.
Maybe most of you who voted for him, trust he has your best interests at heart. I know better! I just happen to feel my circumstances provide me a better cushion than most people for whatever might happen after Trump takes office. Keep in mind GW had to react to the horrific terrorist attack during his first year in office. Obama had to react to an impending meltdown of Wall Street in his first year in office. The job of our President can present daunting challenges on the biggest stage on planet Earth. We really should want a confident and competent President. I don't question Donald's confidence. I do question his competence.

It's a theme I'm seeing, not just anger/disappointment that Hillary lost, but what appears to be an attempt to make Trump voters feel guilty (to be real, I also saw it 4 years ago when Obama won). So, here we are, a week out from the election, what do you think? Poll on the way. Should Trump supporters feel guilty?

It's a continuation of the slave morality that is pervasive in the liberal/leftist mindset.

Shame the strong for being strong, the victors for their victory.

They are a diseased lot...
 
Should Trump voters create passive aggressive polls?

I don't know yet. If he's as venal, corrupt, incompetent, and abusive as everyone was accusing him of being then I'd say Trump voters had fair warning and should feel guilty for enabling it.

Oh I'm very informed as a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists. An atmospheric scientist with a masters degree and a work history as a civilian for U.S. Air Force studying the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through the atmosphere.

Every scientific organization in the world endorses the scientific consensus that the Earth is warming with the principle reason being due to human activities. I know the physical basis for the science inside and out. The physics is irrefutable, the degree of impact is still somewhat uncertain.

You have been manipulated by a manufactured doubt machine conducted by the fossil fuel industries and promoted by conservative political think tanks. You don't know what you don't know. You along will millions of other victims of misinformation.

You do realize the Union of Concerned Scientists has a vested interest in keeping the piggy bank open, do you not?

They are a non-profit. It does cost money to do their work so we pay dues.
