Yeah uOldRapGroup explained it in a way I understood . I wasn ' t trying to be a dick or anything . <| sep |> There are many reasons to be afraid for both sides , whether it is warranted is to be determined . In my opinion , the biggest concern is the supreme court nomination which will effect the future of our country far longer than the 4 or 8 years we ' d have the next president . However , there are many who are concerned over one party controlling all branches of government and what changes will happen in the near future . Take your pick I guess . But those are the fears you ' re asking about . People are concerned about the future and as far as democrats go , are AFRAID that their rights will be taken away , for example gay marriage and abortion .
