I am very angry, Big Mad.....very big mad at my country, Idk I am very disappointed in my country, idk what else to say I thought patriotism and democracy meant more to more people than it does I guess. Makes we want to punch something but I probably wont but idk like I am just so mad, lol if I do have to hit something it will be a pillow. I got a bunch of decoration halloween pillows and i suppose it would be pretty hard to break my hand on it. But idk I am just so mad even though I would not want to harm anything.

I'm trying to deal with it by being numb and not caring. I don't know if that helps. Things will plod along and we will watch helplessly but each of our personal lives probably won't be affected that much. That's what I'm holding onto.

You're not alone. I'm not mad, as much as sadden. Some people, a lot of people are idiots. If anyone out there voted for Donald Trump, I'm sorry, but there is nothing redeeming about the man. Even before he was elected, I heard stories and reports about how he stiffed the people who he hired. The golf course in Scotland, for instance.

On a positive note, he may still go to prison on 34 convictions, and there are more trials on the way. The president elect cannot give himself amnesty. Can they?

J.D. Vance is another issue. He is ambitious, spineless, and ... we're doomed.

Please don't break your hand. I've never broken my bones, but I did once get the bones in my right hand knocked out of their some of their joints along the knuckle and wrist. It was painful. I drove myself to the ER. The car was a manual, so shifting was very painful. I did not mention the blood at the knuck of my pinky finger?

So please take care of your hands. Take care of yourself. One can imagine worse case scenarios on what Donald Trump might do, mostly because he SAID what he was going to do, but the things one can image are still just the imagination until they seem imminently real. They are not real, right now. Right now, we still have global warming and all the joys it brings to contend with. Please, someone else try to support Sweetleaf. I'm lousy at offering support to people, but I guess, beating up your pillows is a safe start.

I considered buying some alcohol, but right away I thought that will not help anything, except make me feel lousy later. I'm going to watch something funny, and maybe play a game (and lose :) ).

I just clicked Preview, and I see others are responding. Good. It is good to know one is not alone in this moment of disappointment. I really tried to be optimistic this election.

I haven't beaten myself up or smashed anything, I just thought "oh, s**t" and resolved to hasten my efforts to get US citizenship before he does something to f**k that up in an attempt to please his immigrant-hating fans and gets me shot down in the crossfire. I have a gay relative who's understandably worried, but I don't know what to do to help him, except to hope he'll be OK and to be around in case he needs my assistance in any way. Same goes for any WP people who have any respect and liking for me. But in real life here in Arkansas, they'll mostly be dancing for joy.

Keep calm and carry on. Figure out the ways in which you and your loved ones are most vulnerable to the machinations of him and his party, and coldly calculate your most effective ways of defending yourself. Stay objective, and don't waste precious energy and resources on attacking the wrong target, especially don't attack yourself. And hope to Christ the system's checks and balances slow him down, and that he makes a fatal mistake that leads to his speedy removal from power.

I make no personal apology for what a relatively slim majority of Americans have just gone and done. I take no responsibility for something I was completely unable to prevent.

Summary / TLDR: Oh s**t. :evil:

I wonder if the suicide rate will greatly increase, especially among the youngsters. I have a morbid interest when it comes to things like that.

Apparently the court cases look like they'll go away. All the felonies, doesn't matter.

Everyone needs to give careful consideration to how public their disabilities and differences are. All of us here represent those who were in the initial waves of being rounded up and killed in Germany in the late 1930s, which seems to be the playbook going forward.

Ouch. I didn't think of that.

Cheyenne, Wyoming:

The perfect place for the Queen Mother of all Antifa rallies.

Antifa, BLM, Nation of Islam, BAMN, CPUSA, you name it!
