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... Low, but you can bet your rear end that they'll try to impeach Trump to install President Pence

The worst part of all of this is that Trump got the ultimate confirmation of his narcissism. He'll be in history, he'll have a Presidential library. gently caress.

Not looking forward to the serious people telling us we have to respect him because of his office. Inspector Gesicht posted:It doesn't count as treason wishing for him to be assassinated from a non-US citizen, seeing as he isn't facing justice for anything. Though Pence is disliked and otherwise a non-entity, would he be a less volatile candidate? Pence is trash and supports torturing gay people among his other issues. He's just as bad as Trump but a different flavor.

plushpuffin posted:I am not mocking anyone. I am severely depressed and terrified for the future of humanity. Humanity's been in worse spots. Remember that if things become really intolerable, there are remedies that the founding fathers themselves expected the population to be able to enact. This isn't worth getting depressed over. If anything, this is going to be very exciting. My advice is to not compound your depression and feelings of alienation with a break from your family. It sounds like they're only the usual brand of silly, instead of legit toxic people that merit cutting out of your life. In times of stress people need their social groups, and that usually includes family. John_A_Tallon fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Nov 9, 2016 |

You can totally hold office from a prison cell in the U.S., and can in fact run for office from there too. So I'd imagine his first act of office would be pardoning himself.

So I just woke up to the news. No way I was gonna give myself a heart attack watching it unfold last night. So, I posted back in October that I was afraid Hillary wasn't going to win. Well folks apparently most of the country has dumb opinions because in spite of all his faults... In spite of the sex tape. In spite of the 75 pending lawsuits. In spite of his utter failure at the debates. In spite of Hillary's superior ground game. Donald loving Trump is our next president! Oh dear god Trump is our next President. Whatever this country has coming we deserve it.

Democrats have been losing a whole lot of elections since 2000 despite winning the popular votes, and you can bet some of the first orders of Republican business in this terrifying new normal will be to pass/repeal laws that make sure the trend continues. What are the odds the filibuster gets axed? Near 100%?

Cracked_Gear posted:So I just woke up to the news. No way I was gonna give myself a heart attack watching it unfold last night. From what it sounds like Trump did worse that Romney. The problem is that Hillary did worse than that. The question is why did Democrats stay home in those states since she won the popular vote. Some people are saying it's a refutation of neoliberal Democrats, but if that were the case why do those areas consistently elect Republicans that also perform those same policies? z0glin Warchief posted:Are we sure that even matters any more?

Yeah a lot of this falls squarely on the DNC that did nothing to stem the tide of lost seats while coasting on Obama's presidency and two lost elections following Bill Clinton. I'm not sure what they could have done but the writing was on the wall (although I don't think anyone saw it coming so harshly) so they should have been doing more than just being the Sensible party since that idea is gone.
