Let me tell you, if you shed tears because Trump won the election you are mentally unstable.

Well no... they were just very devoted to the election but it's also missing the point. Many people who shed tears over Trump's win are not far left, they're just normal centrist or center-left.

Or even center-right. Many of my family, who are definitely right leaning, mildly racist, God fearing, Church attending Christians, we're absolutely devastated at Trump's victory.

I fail to understand how "crying Donald J Trump is the president of the United States" equals being an "insane insufferable far left crazy." Even if you mostly agree with him politically, you may still be very upset about someone who boasted about sexually assaulting women representing you/your political beliefs. That's just one example.
