I had the same feeling. I am not going to bat for Trump now or even, man is a piece of shit, but he's still a known quantity. They have had a Trump presidency before. It sucked sure, but I don't know why people are acting like he is going to declare himself emperor day 1. He has been in office, we know exactly the type of policies he would be pursuing. A couple of which I could honestly see as being good things, albeit for the wrong reasons (like if Trump actually withdrew the US from NATO, not that I expect that to ever happen).
Yet I see people seriously believing that he is going to round up all dissenters day 1 and declare martial law. ICE has been doing that already, for both flavours of administration.
