the bottom line is we all have to rein in the catastrophizing

it's an election, you can't win them all and there'll be another in 4 years

it's all still entirely in the realm of rhetoric right now and once the reality sets in it'll get watered right down to the status quo

the reason why it feels so scary now is because everyone has been marinading in politics through the internet since things ramped up

turn off cnn, get off the internet and go to bed, in the morning there will be a president or an active recount and the world will go on

Stymie's right.

Those of you who plan to flit away to some foreign nation, as if anything that happens won't just hit you six months later there, with worse medical care and security, no matter where you are in the world, don't let the door hit you where thor split you. raus.


take your lumps, stand and fight. Join me in my resolution to never vote for the Democratic Party in its current form again. Gut that crooked sack of poo poo and let the entrails dry on the pavement, let us build anew. i cannot believe hillary did not even give us a final bit of dignified concession. gently caress the clinton dynasty forever, gently caress the D's, we need something else apparently incredibly focused on working class jobs, and failed at that soundly this time around. i thought i got suckered by getting excited for barack, holy poo poo did i get owned this time

its my opinion that whatever noggin trump has in that weird head of his is vaguely centrist and not particularly horrid, and think he went more right than he even needed to and we wont really see a wall.

the real motherfuckers you gotta watch out for are newt, mike and rudy


e: sorry for jizzing all over the pics thread. long day.

in all seriousness, you flee to Canada types can get hosed. I get that most of this is just venting/coping but stop being a bunch of babies.

I also don't believe that the country is so feeble and spineless that electing a bad man for president has "set the country back for decades." unless a bunch of Americans spontaneously became cackling evil doers overnight then most folks are still good (albeit misguided) people at heart.

yes, I'm sure all the horrible things he wants to do will go through completely unopposed

I also think that he actually intends to deliver on campaign promises, much like all those elected before him. The guy is a tool, but if we get dragged down to his level that's on us.

if you haven't grasped it yet, I find the idea of painting the entirety of America with a broad racist/horrible stroke really goddamned irritating. As if all the good and decent people in the country vanished overnight. As if there aren't legitimately good people that happened to vote for Trump.

yes, every republican in congress will be in support of all the wacky poo poo he wants to do because they have an R next to their placard.
