Title chat actually has me wondering about the hirarchy of american titles. I want badly to see a Suprime court justice Obama because people serving in all three branches is cool from a civics dork perspective, but does "president" always come first? Supreme court justice President former senator Obama?

They could always just work on election day and start the strike back up on the 9th.

I also doubt it would go Trump over that much. I don't think there's parallel bullshit in Pittsburgh, and aren't the two cities kind of approximately similarly sized?

It's good to see their private lives, because it's a reminder of the better person they could still be, like Newt and his animals. That's part of what makes Trump so uniquely terrifying. He has absolutely no private self at all.

I've been wondering about this too. I think your current title takes precedence, but once you're no longer in office it defaults to whatever your highest office was. So if you were a Congressperson, then a Senator, then a Congressperson again, your title would be "Representative". But once you leave office you become "Senator So-and-So". The big question is how it works with really important titles. Like if Obama got bored in retirement and decided to be Governor of Illinois, would he be called Governor or President Obama? Or would it depend on who was talking, like Republicans would call him Governor as a sign of disrespect and Democrats would call him President as a sign of respect. What if he ran for city council instead? Would he be Councilor Obama or President Obama?

Tyvm. I've been thinking about the long-term fallout of this election a lot (lol who hasn't tho) and the really significant confounding factor in this versus other times of hyperpolarization is the fact it's all being played out in the indelible ink of social media—as opposed to becoming essentially invisible, especially to strangers, once the signs and bunting come down, who a person supported in this election might reasonably be expected to be among the first things the kind of google investigations hiring departments, network contacts, and prospective partners habitually do, and with this cycle's absolute insanity that information will potentially always be explosive. Please dont misconstrue this as 'oh the poor trumpies, how can we normalize their vileness so it doesn't hurt them  ;' someone could ask a question very much like this as a rhetorical way to equate the two sides and I'm not doing that at allllll, the semiotic significance of a Trump bumper sticker and especially their reasons for disliking the other side are obviously on a whole different awfulness magnitude from what even the most committed Chomskyite would try to argue about hillary, I just worry that this is a brand-new social pressure we're gonna have to come to grips with somehow.I worry in particular about the possibility of businesses becoming increasingly self-selective in hiring hyperpartisans and narrativists and at least on the conservative side start sandbagging the economy from the private sector.

Washington intended for presidents to revert to their highest previously-held title and relinquish "President" anyway. If Obama actually became a supreme court justice (which means Michelle's either dead or exiled to Mars, so let's not root for it), I imagine he'd be Justice Obama except for specific ex-president contexts like White House photo ops.
