In the wake of Donald Trump being elected president of the United States in the early morning hours Wednesday, the America he helped breathe more life into with his divisive, toxic rhetoric of bigotry, sexism and misogyny started to take shape.
Here’s some of the bullshit people have had to deal with after the orange lunatic was promised the keys to the United States:
Someone on the streets of LA just yelled at one of my girl's Latina coworkers to "go back where you came from." #TrumpsAmerica

Dude in gas station this AM hears my accent and asks if I'm an immigrant. I said yes. He said "Guess your time is up then!" #TrumpsAmerica

I’m aware racism, bigotry and sexism was around before Trump, it’ll be around during Trump’s presidency and it’ll be around when Trump’s gone. But again, Trump helped breathe life and add almost a sick legitimacy to racism, bigotry and sexism in this country. And now he’s going to be president, a position he won in large part based on the warts of society.
And this is just the beginning.
