What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Josquius]

So damn ironic to be taking this line against the left.

[Admiral Yi]

Which line, ironic in what way, and how so?

[Jacob]

I resolve the irresolvable conflicts by applying balancing tests between conflicting principles and by leaving myself open to reasoned argumentation that my balancing tests are suboptimal or that I have neglected an important principle.  If someone who doesn't recognize the existence of irresolvable conflicts calls me a hypocrite I am indifferent.  I don't need their positive judgement to survive.

A very reasonable approach

I believe that is what most people do. Some with more intellectual rigour and some with less, sure, but the process is roughly the same. And that leaves most people indifferent to being called hypocrites.

People are mostly doing their best to resolve conflicts of principle with the tools they have available to navigate life in a complex world. If someone with whom you have fundamental disagreements gets all up in your face and calls you a hypocrite, that's not really going to change much.

Election day! I hope everything goes very badly for Trump.

I believe very few people do that.
