My chain kept slipping so i pit on my pegs and used my ainti roller as a chain tensioner by putting it between the axle and fromt of the dropout. My chain has literally no wigggle at one point and looks like its tighter than hilary clinton. Is this bad?

Additional wear on you driver bearings if it's too tight.

I think the more important question is why/how do you know about Hillary Clinton?

This, AND your chain with stretch/wear a bit faster, same with sprocket teeth and driver teeth.

If the chain is uber tight then yeah you can fuck your driver/bearings/chain.
You could always cut down a small peice of metal and use that in front of your axle and the drop out. Or cut off a small peice off of your anti roll pin so your axle moves further forward.
Or try and find some of the simple slammers or what ever they where called
