Be sure to phrase your response in the form of a question, y’all.
Yes, sure. I wonder that myself. But, I also say the same to the anti-Trump crowd.
Edit: Y’all want to check back in in four years, both the Trump supporters and the anti-Trump folks?
By the way, since I’m guilty of a hijack, I guess I’ll respond to the OP.
I have not changed my mind about:
-Mr. Trump as a human being. He goes well past “deeply flawed” into “repugnant” territory.
-President Elect Trump as a leader and public face for America. (Those words actually tried to ungroup themselves from the same sentence as I was typing them. True story.)
-The ghastliness of Mr. Trump’s probable selections for his Cabinet and inner circle
What I have become more open minded about:
-The possibility that Mr. Trump will be open to better guidance than he will get from his appointees and advisors. When Mr. Trump assumes office, his list of “peers” will become a very short list. There are only four living men who’ve been at that desk before, and only two of them will give him the time of day. And as soon as he got the exalted position he wanted, the two peers willing to work with him, BHO and WJC have automatically gotten much smarter than they were when he was competing for the position. And they both can and will help him through the hard parts. 'Cause he’s so fabulous and they’re glad to do it.
Let’s not forget that “y’all” can be made into a possessive, to wit: “I hear y’all’s team won this year!”
I’m not sure y’all can be used incorrectly. I say anything goes. It is INFINITELY preferable to the IMHO low-class, coarse, crude, and ubiquitous “you guys.”
As far as I’m concerned, y’all can be used in the singular–it’s softer than the very blunt YOU. “Are YOU coming over later?” sounds kind of confrontational. “Are y’all coming over later” sounds gentler. And even though it’s used to refer to one person, it takes a plural verb.
I did not grow up in Texas, and in my high school in upstate New York, we had a music teacher from Louisiana. She was so exotic to me… I idolized her as only teenage girls can do, the way she dressed, her jewelry, her handwriting, and her free use of “y’all,” which definitely was not heard in those parts in 1961.
We moved here when I was a sophomore in high school, and I remember distinctly the day the word “y’all” popped spontaneously out of my mouth. It was in French class, taught by a vibrant, colorful, portly nun from, yup, Louisiana. No one else noticed when I said the word-- but in my head bells and lights went off. I expected Higgins and Pickering to come bursting into the room shouting, “By George, she’s got it!”

To address the OP: I haven’t changed my mind, but my fingernails are no longer embedded in the ceiling.
The thread is about “y’all.” I thought “all y’all” was the plural; is it instead the pluplural?
Cite?
I forgive you, as you are a heathen New Yorker transplanted to backwards Baja Middlestate. 
The resta y’all singular y’allers get no slack from me. That just ain’t right.
So… you would not approve of me addressing you (sing.) thusly: “Who do y’all think y’all are?”
P.S. I was born in Texas, just didn’t grow up here. Or learn to talk here.
I always thought it was spelled ya’ll (whoops I got the red squiggly line), but you all take your time now in deciding if you like this funny unpredictable billionaire POTUS elect.
It could just be that in four years we have more unity and the majority of the population likes his different approach to running our country.
I hope he is as good as he thinks he is … were all in for a good four years. I hope, I pray, I believe we can work these things out.
History in the making … we will all remember the end of 2016 and what the new 2017 year brings.
Not one stinkin’ bit. I voted for Hillary and I don’t regret it. I accept Trump as the next president, but I’m going to hate every day of the next four years.
The apostrophe takes the place of letters left out, as in didn’t (did nOt), they’re (they Are), and the ever-popular and always misused it’s (it Is).
Y’all means you all. The apostrophe takes the place of the OU.
Checks
Nope.
Checks Again
Nope.
I’ve changed my mind about the factual - before the election my opinion was, not that Trump wouldn’t be elected, but that he couldn’t be elected. That opinion was clearly wrong, and so I no longer believe it.
I have not changed my mind about Trump as a person or as a “leader.” He simply has no clue about what he is doing and he will delegate as much work (and power) as possible to those standing behind him, such as Pence and whoever he picks for his major cabinet members, as well as his chief of staff. He will glory in the glory, and he will make sure that his business interests flourish, and not care much about anything else. And even though this will be obvious to everyone, none of his supporters will care. If something goes wrong, they will blame everyone except Republicans.
I have not changed my mind about the Democratic party. It is fatally weak because it cannot draw out supporters except for the glamorous presidential campaigns every four years, when what it needs is lots of people to do the boring, grueling ground game of getting control back of the House of Representatives. This means undoing what the Republicans did after the 2010 census, and un-gerrymandering all those House districts. Then it won’t matter so much if an immoral moron is in the white house. The majority of people in this country generally vote Democratic, and it is the House that should reflect this, but it doesn’t because the Republicans cooked the districts to suit themselves.
I have not changed my mind about the arrogance of Progressives, and that any future ascendance of Progressives in the Democratic party will mean the permanent reduction of that party to minority status.
I have not changed my mind that while fairness to everyone is an excellent goal, the details need to be sold, not rammed down peoples’ throats with such concepts as micro-aggression and white privilege. Both of those are very real things that engender very real resistance mostly among those who don’t understand what they really mean and who (rightfully, in my opinion) feel attacked by the way they are presented. All this approach does is to drive millions of otherwise decent people into Republican arms.
TL;DR version - no I haven’t changed my mind. The unthinkable happened, and now our country has to deal with it. I hope Democrats have learned some lessons, but I doubt it.
I have changed my mind on the fact that an independent can win next time for the first time in recorded history, except for Lincoln that is. I hear he was a wig or something like that before he was a republican.
Party rule will no longer be the norm … all of those Bernie people and the young rebels in the streets will find a new charismatic person to follow and vote for and challenge the DNC and the GOP. A young person that doesn’t make the same mistakes these two did, no name calling, no bickering, just get the facts out and let the people make a wiser choice.
The Republicans will be pleased to see your plan to continue wasting your time on 3rd parties. Unless you plan on beginning locally. Don’t just let your mind drift, wake up in 4 years & pick another also-ran.
I’m quite glad I voted a straight Democratic ticket. The Electoral College means my vote doesn’t matter toward picking the President–but I’m hardly alone there.
But my county’s Democratic momentum has even caught Republican attention.
Nope. I hated both Hillary and Trump, and voted for McMullin.
I wouldn’t change a thing.
I have not changed my mind. I still think that Donald Trump is a vengeful dingbat with the IQ of a house plant. On the plus side however, stand up comedians and comedy writers now have a seemingly limitless supply of material supply.
