I'm guessing that you live on one of the coasts and mostly associate with certain classes of people? In the real world, people are not at each others throats. They're mostly interested in talking about their kids, the price of milk, sportsball and debating the best way to prepare briquet.

Take a deep breath, we're all gonna be okay.

I take it you don't know any trans people, gay people, or those whose lives depend on government services.

While you are preparing brisket they are expecting to lose rights and have friends taken away. For them it is not going to be ok.

My comments just went right over your head. Didn't comprehend a word I wrote. It honestly makes me sad.

Everything will be okay, nobody is losing their rights. Try getting out of California/NYC some time.

People have lost rights/freedoms over the course of the last 8 years though.

Which constitutional rights have Americans lost over the past eight years?

So it has to be enumerated in the constitution to be considered a freedom lost?

Moving the goal post there isn't it?

I believe it's arguably clear the right to privacy and freedom of movement have been attacked/stripped though and those are constitutional rights.

Interesting that you think to have the authority to tell others what “the real world” actually is. That doesn’t seem to work.

Maybe you should try to get out of the technofacist mindset?

It is day one and trans people can no longer get a federal id matching how they look.

Fuck right off about "gonna be okay", asshole.
