There is a thread posted by a person who chose to take a partisan view on opposition to Trump. He suggested that Trump will cut entitlements and welfare used by supporters of the liberals and progressives.
I personally have a fear of Trump because of what he represents for the country as a whole.

Autocratic for the people: As Donald Trump?s populist wave recedes, an authoritarian regime in the making is revealed - Salon.com
I questioned this kind of reasoning as cartoonish but then I read what has been posted here by those who generally support Trump and you see it. They are living in a different reality and it is one that has been created by Trump and the media around him.
The economy is tanking, violence is worse than it has ever been, Obamacare is in a death spiral, we are under constant threat of Islamic terrorists, our borders are surging with criminal immigrants, political correctness has run amok to the point that Christian values are under assault and it is all the fault of the "not real" Americans who push a corrupt leftist agenda.
This isn't reality and most of it is easily demonstrated to be false with facts but it is the narrative that many people seem to want to believe and they want someone to fix it. Trump is the man, and his supporters will hold to him with unwavering conviction.They are the tool Trump will use to get his way. He will use them to further polarize the nation and they will be all too happy to comply and some will look to fellow Americans with contempt and disgust that makes what we see today look like a hippy festival. And that is where someone, either from the left or right, will step in and what is left of our democracy will die with a quiet whimper.
That is why I fear Trump.
