I think the stain will be how the Democrats acted when they lost.

Nation is very divided and anyone that says differently is a fool. But it isn't as chaotic as the TV and new outlets make it look. Really it is a about 2-3% on each side that are ultra extremist that are making it look like Rome is burning. Then about 10% under that bunch of extremist that are just glorified internet trolls that talk the talk but likely don't get out of the basement much. The rest of the people (the vast majority) while being opinionated on the subject aren't going to burn down a city in a riot against Trump or go into a hospital and pull the plug on everyone that is sick and on Obamacare.
We just live in a time when hype is ultra accelerated by social media nonsense and media outlets (for both sides) are so polarized that you can literally pick what news channel you like because they say what you want to hear and claim anything other than that is bullshit. Now how history judges all this will be determined by how it all works out. All we can do is say we shall see.
I think you missed a few talking points.
Regardless, it won't be a stain. It will be talked about for years to come.
There is a huge concerted effort to delegitimize Trump, and there has been since he announced he was running.
These aren't grassroots efforts, they are funded by the same Establishment people who Trump claims to be against.
Nothing will change, as Trump and the Clintons run in the same political elite circles and outside of a few social issues are essentially the same.
Hopefully he doesn't mess things up too much, but we have checks and balances in place to prevent that. The fear-mongering is real, however.
We call it "America first" you call it "Nationalistic Hitler bullshit". We say we can make America more prosperous- you say "It can not be done". We say "Make America great again" you say "America was never great" We wave American flags, and you burn them. We revere our history despite its stains and EVERY nation has its own stains- you castrate it and demonize it and try to erase it. You would rather change America into a system much like the EU but on a grander scale- we'd rather have America for Americans and put those in power who are from here and have our well-being at heart- that is something you can not get in the EU when a foreign government in Brussels imposes laws upon you that your nation foolishly signed on for when it joined that "collective" of bureaucrats.
We believe in individualism and choosing our own destiny- you believe in collectivism and everybody is a racist.
We believe in life is what you make of it- you believe in your life sucks because of an evil white man.
We believe in freedom and you believe in financial enslavement and Obamaphones.
You stick your nose in the air and refuse to listen when you were in control- you slap our hand away when we offer it.
We ask to come together- you call us NAZIS and attack people and destroy property.
We talk to true civil rights leaders to make real change- you call them uncle toms while you stick to 40+ years of failed Democrat policy's.
We believe America has a destiny and its greatest days are ahead- you believe in destroying its very core foundations.
That is why you lost all 3 branches of government and the supreme court for an entire generation this election. Make peace with that while you stomp your feet and place blame on everybody else but yourselves. The sad part of this whole thing- is you haven't even learned your lesson and will require another ghetto stomping in 2020. Maybe another ass beating will change your tune a bit. Especially- when you find that Trump actually makes good on his promises unlike the last half dozen Presidents. Obama is gone and Hillary was defeated. Game over man....game over.
The Koch brothers backed Jeb Bush, he was establishment pick. Trump whipped him and now Trump is beholding only to his constituents.
It's really the first time we've had 90% businessmen in charge of the country instead of politicians. It's a great experiment.

The people who think Hitler is left read too many Breitbart articles and putin propaganda. It attacks brain capacity and replaces own thoughts by dumb dogms.

Which is completely mad, and which is just meant to desinform. Everyone who knows about german history knows, that Hitler and his party were nationalist right wing fanatics.
Kinda like how Clinton was saying she would challenge the results if Trump was elected, or she wouldn't, she will let you know! Or how she said the election was rigged for over a year straight. Or how she said Trump wants to take your guns away and there is nothing you can do about it. Except for Second Amendment people *wink wink*.
The media might have over-hyped a Clinton loss, but Trump himself over-hyped a Trump loss.
