As we watched the election results come in, over half of America's population gasped in horror as they realized that the near impossible result became a reality.

Donald Trump won the White House.

Not only was it a big win for Donald Trump, it was a big win for Republicans, as they maintained control of the Senate and House of Representatives. With control of the legislative, executive, and judicial branch (since Donald Trump has the control over the empty Supreme Court seat), it has created a trifecta of Republican power.

In the days following Donald Trump's victory, there were celebrations from the Trump supporters.

But not everyone was feeling celebratory on the morning of November 9th.

Petitions and protests have swept the nation, as well as problems in the stock market. Hate crimes have increased since Trump's victory and citizens are feeling more unsafe and scared than ever before.

Before you click off, deeming these observations nonsense, let me explain.

First, I want to establish some context. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. That is an undeniable fact. Which means the majority of American wanted to put her in office. However, with the electoral college in place, coupled with the distribution of these votes, Donald Trump pulled the win. But the majority of America was indeed with her.

Donald Trump spent his time during his campaign insulting almost every demographic you can think of. No matter which way you spin it, no matter what you deem should be insulting to whomever, many Americans were enraged in Donald Trump's behavior and the behavior of his supporters.

Considering his blunt approach to dealing with people who he deems "beneath him" and his stance on the welfare of the public, certain precautions have to be made.

Women are scrambling to get IUDs implanted as a long-term birth control. Families are worried about their welfare and how their kids are going to survive. College kids still on their parents' health insurance are worried about what is going to happen after Obamacare is repealed. President Obama just passed permanent funding for Planned Parenthood. Minority groups are scared to leave their homes. The KKK is re-emerging. #NotMyPresident is trending on all social media platforms. America is becoming more divided than ever.

You've got to admit, no matter your political party, race, sexuality, or gender, going from President Obama to President-Elect Trump is a huge leap.

Personally, I'm scared to see what these next four years will hold. Are you?
