In George W. Bush, Republicans had possibly the worst president in the history of the US, the man deregulated financial institutions allowing them to build the housing bubble, pursue risky trades unchecked, sinking western economies to its knees; run a tab on 2 wars, one of them under absolutely outrageous pretexts, any world leader from another country would be under trial for crimes against humanity, wars that cost thousands of young American life's not to mention the Iraqi civilians which no one seems to care about, wars that cost the American tax payer not billions but trillions of dollars, so the Bush cartel and their Saudi buddies can continue to get their billions from oil revenue; 50% of Bushes tax cuts benefited 5% of the American population, straining the middle class, which in the view of many economists is the engine of a healthy economy.
The man was a DISASTER, the result of this election is exactly what democracy is for. Stop listening to scaremongers in the media, instead of acting like kids who think they can't sleep because they have a imaginary boogeyman man in his room, grow up and get a life.
