Anyone who thinks the ACA, Roe v. Wade and same sex marriage won't be repealed the second it's feasible next year is delusional. Hell, here in Australia, people said the same thing about the Mining Tax and the Carbon Pricing scheme, and that poo poo was dead the minute the incoming government had the opportunity to call a house vote. And they didn't even have the senate on lock. Then they went and repealed all the poo poo they promised not to. I wish we could offer you a better life here down under, but unfortunately the alt-rights that pull the strings in our government just got one hell of a mandate to keep going, and they sure aren't fond of immigration.

Gay marriage is safe right up until RBG retires/dies. At which point the court will be insanely conservative and can do whatever the gently caress it wants. In hindsight, Obama should have gone nuclear to get Garland confirmed.

VikingSkull posted:this isn't an American problem, this is a Western Civilization problem Agreed. I guess your last election must have snuck in just before the hammer really dropped, but between the EU refugee crisis, ISIS enduring against all efforts, various events in France and what not, this probably should have been more obvious an outcome. I mean the Aus re-elected the right-lurching Liberal party despite horrific performance, the UK re-elected the Tories then Brexit, and extreme right wing parties have been making ground in Europe for years now. I guess Canada kicking Harper to the kerb gave us false confidence?

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:My best friend's biracial children were afraid to go to school today. They're worried that their dad is going to be deported. I wouldn't necessarily brush this off. I would argue that it's more your friend's fault for teaching his kids that the government works in that way and to have such little faith in their peers. Fact is this is America, good, bad and indifferent we're all people who share similar experiences while not always having the same outlook on them. Doom and gloom is not the way to handle this and these little meltdowns and panic attacks won't make a drat thing better. I'd advise telling your kids, if they are so worried, "Daddy will be fine, mommy will be fine, the president can't take away kickball or icecream so go to school." I know it seems sappy coming from a straight white guy with a good job and family land, but the source doesn't change the reality. A lot of the left's problems are very much PR ones right now, if you want to win the midterms and the next election after that, you're gonna need to stiffen the upper lip, engage in good faith and work WITH the people you might not agree with to show them you're no different than they are. By blaming this poo poo on them all you'll do is strengthen the divide and further remove your own support from the middle ground that you so desperately need. There's more to government than the president, congress and the senate, there's human beings with the ability to make exceptions, to work on the edge of the rule book and instigate change from lower levels up. Just like was said to Bernie supporters, no president can create top-down change with unilateral ability. Deep breaths guys, you're gonna be ok.

Is this math you do as a liberal to make yourself feel better? Every single lever of government has just fallen into the hands of a party that made "drain the swamp" a key policy plank. There is no positive way to read this other than "this country has survived worse". And it has. But it sounds a bit like a cancer survivor trying to psyche himself up after receiving a new, terrible diagnosis.

Edit: hungover. Pretend Vengarrs quote is here. It's really easy to be blustery and turbo retarded when you know it will go nowhere. It panders to your audiences but can't hurt anything. Wait to see if it continues as excitedly as before. It might. Might not. Trump did a lot of damage to the relationship with Congress. If they don't all drop right back into line, and have vendettas, it could slow the dumb poo poo significantly.

Mr. Nice! posted:Had they actually voted this would have been a landslide for clinton. Instead the ones that did protest voted third party and actually cost Clinton a number of states. Bullshit. Initial indications are that voter turnout was up by almost 5% over 2012, and Hillary won the popular vote by roughly 100,000. They DID turn out to vote. The problem is, a lot of other people did too.

It is disorientating that he is going to be our president. But he is going to have difficulty getting his arms around this because he isn't a career politician. He is almost assuredly going to be plagued by scandal and unlike last time the Dems aren't going to be cowed in acquiescence by "bbbbbut 9/11!!!" Just take a deep breath and chill. He might even be trolling the poo poo out of Republicans and just won the presidency by accident. This might be the most meta, ironic presidency of all time.
