A Vote for Trump Was A Hate Crime

Yeah, I was expecting this (see here). Didn't have to wait too long (see here).
Oh boy, I think we are really hell-bent on carrying him into the White House for the second term.

I'm wondering just how many of the promises he made to people he will be able to keep. A lot of them seemed so unrealistic out there in the real world, they were a bit crazy. Or Naive. But it sounds like (here in Aust at any rate) that he was elected on a lot of those promises. In 4 yrs if he hasn't lived up to those promises will he still get voted back in on the same wave of anger at the status quo that seems to be what people voted him in for this time?

Alternatively he may just take the country so far to the right on certain things, that people decide it's too far and vote more moderately next time. That's kind of what happened in Australia with Tony Abbot, I think. Most of us were just too uncomfortable with how far he swung to the right, and voted in a more moderately right leader instead. And a few far right minority parties, but that wasn't a huge proportion of the vote.
