oh don’t make me cry. it is nice to be told I am good, because I feel such shame right now.

no, he does NOT seem enthusiastic about this happening to him. it is going to get worse when he realizes how cut off from the world and how lonely it is to actually be President. it is a very restricted role. you don’t become king. and we, the liberals, the democrats, and god willing some republicans - our job now is…

laugh at him. they hate that shit.

Nope. But I’m pretty sure Obama doesn’t give a flying fuck.

I don’t know either. yet. I am trying to give myself the time to get through the shock. but I am lucky, I am in Illinois and we elected Tammy Duckworth to the senate. I look forward to seeing if I can volunteer at her offices here. ground up. working from the ground up. I am looking to volunteer and work to help with…

it isn’t gone. it happened. there will be a museum. he is young and god willing has much more to do beyond his presidency. as does his whole family. no amount of hate can wash away the fact that we elected Barack Obama. don’t give in to propaganda. that’s what they want.

I keep reminding myself that not matter what they do, they will never erase the fact that we voted for a black man to be president, not once - but TWICE. they want to wash this change away. but it is has been done. it will ebb and flow but it has been DONE. and that’s all there is to it.

I have been thinking about this a lot today as a young white woman. I wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was the most competent person running for President. the fact that she happened to be a woman was the icing on the cake. and I felt the same way when I voted for Obama against Hillary in 2008. He was the…

we need to remember this same country elected Obama. twice. this is the same America made up of the same people. this is a question of who didn’t show up to vote, not who did.

this exactly. I knew they were out there. it is the people who didn’t show up for Hillary when Obama begged them to. they just didn’t seem to care.

I absolutely think he is going to hate it. a great deal of your freedom and mobility is taken away when you are the President. much of being President is the literal opposite of what I think he imagines it to be. and he sure as fuck isn’t going to enjoy that.

I couldn’t sleep either. I gave up trying and eventually got a couple of hours. my version of this thought is less about collapse and more about things coming to a grinding halt. about using our checks and balances and kicking him out of power. of the democrats filibustering the shit out of this government. of some…

good, now take that anger and turn it into something. go exercise, make something, organize something. we have to use our anger for good. we have to turn it into change.

my best friend does that - she also does the lean and look and I am constantly pulling her back because I can’t stand it.

I don’t know if it is the dancing. overall she seemed uncomfortable on stage to me. she didn’t seem fully rooted and confident. I mean I am not sure how i’d do performing on snl either. but that is what struck me more than the dancing. I love the music, she is beautiful and I love her message. but she did not seem…

I think he is a fine singer, but I wouldn’t put him on a list of greatest singers of all time, not on Broadway or off. but then Rex Harrison is one of the great performers of Broadway, and could barely carry a note. David Hyde Pierce has a very pleasant voice as well. I wouldn’t put him on that list either. Though he…

my sister said she can’t listen to Hamilton because while she likes the other performers a lot - his voice reminds her of an NPR host. I thought this was a very distinct hilarious way of putting it. I love the show - but he is not a singer. and most of the “rap” in my mind in the show is patter-singing, which is…

I also just think America, and the world, could use something uplifting and escapist for a second. there’s no shame in that. I am so over the gritty realism dark brooding versions of literally EVERYTHING. we have the musical Chicago to be cynical. let people have some fun for goodness sakes.

Goodness gracious you don’t seem to handle dissenting views of your comments very well.

that’s not the point. everyone is different. everyone has some things that come easy to them and some have to work for it. however, and it is said in other comments on this thread - the media and hollywood likes to regularly perpetuate the notion that it all comes so naturally and easy to every single beautiful…
