(2,559 posts)For the sake of argument, let's assume you are an American.
America elects (or re-elects) a president every four years.
Translation: WE AMERICANS ELECT A PRESIDENT EVERY FOUR YEARS.
It doesn't fucking matter if you didn't vote for the winner, or if you joined the "Resistance", or if you sat out the election contemplating your navel. As an American, you're part of the larger whole that did elect Trump. You don't like it? Well, change the system so that small rural states don't give individual voters four times the say in a Presidential election as someone from California. Or, get out and organize in the swing states to vote for the best candidate. Do SOMETHING. Just don't whine "Oh I didn't vote for Trump so I'm not part of this nation any more".
Just don't get your panties all in a twist if someone mistakes you for an American.
