It's not like middle America loved Trump, they just disliked Hillary more. quote:It's sad to see all my liberal friends in despair. quote:You know you've succeeded so far as a parent when your 8, 5, and 2 year-olds are mentally and emotionally stronger than all of the adult Hilary supporters we're seeing on T.V.. quote:Mere hours after the president elect was announced, my friend (who is Sri Lankan) was yelled at to "Go back to India," a country that she has visited once briefly on a holiday. [Quick aside: Any Indians willing to show my friend around her new place of origin?] So she woke up today, donned a blue salwar and huge hoop earrings, and took the bus to school looking loving gorgeous. quote:I made breakfast but I couldn't eat it. I tried to meditate but all I could do was cry. I walked my dog through our predominately Hispanic neighborhood and it was so somberly quiet. I wanted to hug every person, or at least try and form my mouth in the shape of pleasantry, something resembling a smile but my face was crippled by tears falling behind my sunglasses. I believe in democracy and I believe in love, but I am physically grieving today. I just wanted to tell you that no matter who you are or how you participated in this election, I love you, I love us and I still believe in this country. quote:It warms my heart to know despite these whacky times, that on this day, every year and without fail, we can still expect to see Marines blacking out and throwing up. Happy birthday, devil dogs. quote:The world was watching, and I am ashamed for my country. quote:I love you. Yes, you. quote:Plz people, I had to get up at 4:30 today and I have to get up at 4:30 tomorrow, but this weekend I want to do something to respond to the election. Plz let me know what to do. And all my friends who are queer, immigrant, and/or minority, my thoughts and love are with you CONSTANTLY. quote:I feel like the Earth was just missed by a giant planet killing meteor. quote:Bank stocks are surging. quote:"Not my president" sounds a lot like "I'll accept the result of the election...if I win." quote:Alright, I have just recovered from my 4 am drinking binge induced hangover and while I was wallowing in a pool of depression this morning I came to the following conclusion:

Everybody .mil either didn't say anything or their response was, "a'ight." All of the Facebook meltdowns I've seen are from non-military friends who all grew up with good opportunities, went to good schools, and have lived relatively sheltered lives (despite their insistence to the contrary). To them, the entirety of the United States' population exists within the confines of social media. The idea that there are people (in this country, no less!) with opinions and beliefs different from theirs is incomprehensible. It's childish, pathetic, and frankly, embarrassing. In all fairness, none of these people are idiots; they are all, every one, intelligent, well-meaning, and genuinely good folks. This is what happens, however, when people get caught up in hysteria and narrative and extremely narrow worldviews (despite their insistence to the contrary), only to have their expectations about what was "supposed" to happen shattered. Here we go!

I hate today. quote:Lots of rationalizing racism and sexism going on. quote:But emails! quote:A: I know right, who voted for him? quote:Working class voters didn't determine this election - white voters, of every class, did. This is about a white nationalism. quote:Hey remember that time I got a masters degree in *snip*? Here's to hoping my field exists in a year. quote:I'm #grateful for choosing a career path that Trump believes is part of a Chinese conspiracy to make our manufacturing noncompetitive. quote:Got my masters in law... guess that's not a thing anymore. quote:Your job and my job are hosed, bro. Without your job, my job is basically daily hell. Without those who do my job, our future is gonna be nonexistent.

There's a disturbing amount of completely serious "what am I supposed to tell the children??" and "white people are racist!" going on.

Yeah the EPA has an absolute moron for a director now but studies in climate change will continue.

I'll post my (very dissapointing) meltdown, but lemme frame it a bit. Imagine you spent all election day eating pizza and wings, drinking (12 bottles of) beer, and being smug as gently caress because you mailed your vote to Iron abuela 3 weeks ago. But things aint looking so hot for her and your drunken mind decides its time to go to bed. Hours later you wake up in a cold sweat, kinda in that state where you are half-drunk half-hungover you check your phone and there it is clear as day. The hateful cheeto won. I was dumb founded and thought i was still drunk, so I spent an hour cheeking and rechecking that I didn't in fact lost my mind. But yep he won. So i posted this on facebook and went back to my alcohol induced coma. quote:Congrats president elect Trump, may we all live in interesting times. I give it a C- in meltdown rating but a B in being GiP as gently caress.

Naked Bear posted:That'd be especially funny, but no, it's a legitimate and important field. The idea that Trump in office will result in it drying up is retarded, though, especially when he's already made statements within these past 48 hours which suggest that field will actually get an increase in funding. did I miss the announcement that Trump is no longer lying through his teeth with every speech he gives or what

Naked Bear posted:Not really, just going by the new policies posted on his website, like the first 100 days bit. Some of them are not shockingly retarded and are actually pretty decent. I too am satisfied with policy proposals that range from shockingly retarded, to just retarded, to maybe OK. Whew nothing to be concerned about here. All these pussies getting into s tizzy for nothing amirite?
