HorseRenoir posted:The problem is that these two groups are incompatible. This was not a referendum on neoliberalism, no matter how hard white leftists wished it was. Yeah exactly. I really don't know how the Democrats scrape back things are pretty hosed, especially since the GOP has all but telegraphed they are going despotic rule.

I don't want to dwell on a circular firing squad. I don't want to assign blame. This has the potential to be pretty directly and personally awful for anyone not a straight white male - what can we do, as individuals, to make it just a little bit better? How can we help each other? That I have no answer for that is depressing as hell.

For those who were politically engaged in the W years, how does this compare? I'm sure seeing such a terrible candidate as George W. Bush, especially in 2004, win was jarring and saddening. Is it anywhere near what we're feeling today.

I'm totally stoked when all his business deals that guy reported on that he can't separate himself from come into direct conflict with his job as President. Of course it's 2016 and nothing matters so whatever gently caress it apparently just do what you want and it all works out.

Hillary will now be investigated even more for Benghazi and emails and will probably be thrown in jail. All the accusers of sexual misconduct of trump will also be sued into oblivion for daring to be against him My LGBT friends and families will get their marriages overturned by new legislation passed by the GOP Minorities of all types are going to get stopped and frisked and shot and killed when they just ask why EPA will be gone, Planet will go Red Hot and we will have india and china level of pollution Trump will have nuclear codes and be chummy with Russia. no matter how many times I slice it this is a really bad...

So... what are the odds Trump drops dead while in office? It's obvious the campaign did a number on his mental health and I can't imagine that will get better with the literal weight of the world on his shoulders... I am so distraught and angry but gently caress the only thing we can do now is hope and pray things don't get terrible that quickly
