lol @ pretending Trump being president is going to make your life so miserable and horrible starting at 12 AM tomorrow. Your lives will be the same for the next four years, you're not going to start going into the streets and get murdered by white folks

I have a serious chronic disease and an Obamacare exchange plan, Obamacare basically keeps me able to afford to live. Trump presidency and (R) congress basically destroys the lives of a ton people when Obamacare is toast.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
Someone start a thread on facing the actual, impending reality of a certain Trump presidency.

If you're straight, white, purebred, republican male you're OK. A little less if you're a woman but meet the remainder criteria. Points deducted if you're a democrat but still meet the remaining criteria. From there, I can't say.
Whatever gerrymandering is left to do, consider it done.
SCOTUS - gone.
Environment - hosed.
Black lives - don't matter.

.... I don't want to continue. Someone else take over.

Bernie won michigan unexpectedly and Hillary is now doing shittily there. This is literally the message.
A lot of people hate the Clintons. Irrationally. Strangely. Bizarrely. Unexplainably.

They believe they've done things that there is absolutely no proof of. They think they've murdered dozens of people over a 40-year reign of terror. They think Bill has raped multiple women. They think Hillary was personally okay with the deaths at the Benghazi compound. They think that she was literally stashing and sharing Top Secret documents on her private e-mail server. They think her loving aides take part in Satanic rituals.

Hold on to that feeling as long as you possibly can. I'm totally sick. There is nothing good that can come of tonight. Maybe Clinton still wins. That would be the infinitely better outcome but either way this country is far worse than I ever guessed.

Maybe Trumps policy was the better one all along. Maybe he did win the debates.
Maybe the whole concept of statistics is a lie. Maybe math does not exist. Why the hell did I get a masters in something which might not exist?

I am incredibly confused. I want to blame the American electorate, or white people, or the media. But none of that is consistent with anything. Nothing makes sense, everhing is meaningless. It's 5:30 AM now. for a few weeks now, I've been depressed and this gave me the rest.
I am going to sleep. Maybe I will wake up with a positive outlook. But maybe I will just stay in bed for a few days. Nothing good happens in November.

Oh gently caress, I am seriously afraid now. I am transgender, and have already started taking hormones. This is a path that I cannot stop. If trump wins, the republicans will have full control of the federal government and of my state (Texas). They will absolutely ruin any and all rights I have. gently caress, I am really freaked out that they may even ban hrt for us, (which would cause SERIOUS health problems for me now, both physical and mental) or force us to wear patches (leading to more targeted violence and bigotry) or march us into camps with other lgbt people. I thought I was doing better. I may actually kill myself now. And gently caress now I can't sleep.

I am in the exact same state and boat as you, and I swear to god we will survive. Please.

Who the gently caress cares why? They hate her, so she's a bad candidate. Don't run people if they're not liked, even if the reasons don't make sense.

No. Politics is not a game. It's the world. It is not the one we were supposed to have, but it's the one we made. We did this. We did it with open eyes and willing hands. We broke it, and there is no putting it back together.
I would tell you to pray, but it wouldn't do us any good. We have earned what is coming to us.

Oh word? The guy threatening a door to door deportation force won't change things? The guy who is threatening to remove the health insurance of a friend of mine who otherwise would have to spent over $5,000 a month just on medication won't change anything? Obama's slow reversal of the war on drugs stopping, that's not gonna change?
