The entire election has caused stress to all Americans. Concerns even reached Europe and Asia. The most chaos started after Donald Trump was declared President-elect of the United States. Clinton supporters were heavy-hearted with this decision, especially after Clinton winning the popular vote.Liberals, people of the LGBTQ, and people of color are outraged at the fact that such an unqualified and offensive man will be America's President.According to Racist Outbursts in U.S. in Wake of Trump's Election "In the aftermath of Republican firebrand Donald Trump being named president-elect of the United States early Wednesday, reports appeared to surge of hate-fueled taunts and threats hurled by triumphant Trump supporters." Racism has increased and hate crimes continue. Entitled Trump supporters thought it was correct to say offensive slurs and shame people of color or people in the LGBTQ community. "A gay pride flag was burned in Rochester, New York. And the apparent effigy of a black man was hanged above the entrance to a coffee shop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, dangling from the end of a rope." This is an example of just one of the more than 80 hate crimes committed.
