Stop worrying. Keep in mind that while the Congress may be Republican, the Republicans HATE Trump with a burning passion. They just hated Hillary slightly less.
Congress will fight him every step of the way, watch. Trump is not nearly the Hitler-wannabe that the media portrays him. He's vile, short tempered, compulsive and perhaps a touch psychopathic, but he's not pure evil.
Having breakdowns for good reasons? No, it's not a good reason. Trump's now a politician like any other. You think any of them are going to DO anything? Get real.

Well, it's impossible for me to stop worrying lol, I do that on a daily basis even when there's nothing to worry about. But I do hope you're right. It's the violence among the people that scares me more than anything right now. Already seeing an increase on hate crimes sweeping the nation, every day I hear about more. That's what is so terrifying to me. The plans Trump/Pence have are equally worrying but I'll try to have faith that they won't be able to go through with them.
I have friends who have been victims of hate crimes, abuse, rape...and some of the things Trump has said caused them to have flashbacks and severe anxiety attacks. When he won it threw them over the edge. A friend of mine already had four friends commit suicide. I'm heartbroken to say the least. I don't think it's within my right to tell anyone they're overreacting because I can never know exactly how they're feeling or what hell they've been through.

A lot of those escalated hate crimes aren't actually real. Some of them are for sure, but you also have videos of alleged Trump voters being pulled from their cars and beaten on the streets, so it goes both ways. And to be fair, some of Trump's plans are okay. Like the term limit on Congress. I mean no way it'll go through because Congress would have to vote on it, but it's not like his mind can only spew bad ideas.
I'm sorry about your friends, but have they sought no help? Exactly HOW bad does trauma have to be to commit suicide because a politician who says mean things gets elected? However you slice it, voluntary or involuntary, it is overreaction, because the reaction is disproportionate to the stimulus, past events irrelevant. That's, uh, kind of what an overreaction is.
