This is easily the worst year of my life. And my great fear is that next year will be worse.

Don’t go home for Thanksgiving this year. Take a break. Regroup. Take care of yourself. Figure out how to proceed from here.

Just take some time away. Narcissists are a pain in the ass. But, (maybe??) the positive news is that your mom isn’t a hateful, destructive bigot like some Jez family members seem to be.

“ I said he didn’t love me as much as his money.”

I’m tentatively estranged from my family. Still trying to process not just this horrible election but also my relationship with my family of conservatives (mostly reluctant voters) and all the friends who just couldn’t fucking be bothered to vote for Clinton. Total forgiveness is off the table and our relationship is…

Yes. We all need to spend the next few years (and every year thereafter) helping to register liberals and to get out the vote. Every compassionate person needs to volunteer and encourage others to volunteer if only for a few hours a year. And we need to unite with the Dem machine. Convince the Greens, the…

That’s a great list, but I’d actually encourage people to make donations to organization that will help the women, people of color, LGBTQ, and others in need of help and protection in the seriously dangerous Red states before donating to organizations in reliably Blue states. I don’t mean to ignore those in need in…

I was thinking yesterday about how our tax dollars will be paying for a fortune’s worth of Trump branded water, steak, etc. in the White House and who knows where else over the next 4-8 years. Ugh.

Trump is an admirer of Putin. Of course, he tried to poison the press. And yes, it is fucking terrifying.

Yes! However, for the time being, the third parties need to combine with the Dem machine. This isn’t the time for division. This is the time to unite to defeat Trump and the GOP. If we can’t unite, then they’ll win. Simple as that.

Seriously. The Republican leadership is corrupt and morally bankrupt and have been for decades, but we need to learn from their playbook. They damn well sure have been successful at building a group of motivated, reliable voters who turn out for every election. Not quiet sure how far we should go with their slimy…

You’re not over-reacting. If anything your friends are under reacting. There will be next to no checks and balances between the Republican held branches of government and a newly conservative Supreme Court. At the very least reproductive rights are going to be greatly curtailed, the ACA will easily be repealed…

Good for you! I donated to the ACLU and a few other causes yesterday. Today signed up for a local Reproductive Justice org and donated to Planned Parenthood. Don’t give up!

There are so many of us liberals in the red states!! My county voted blue by a large majority. Now, I’m really torn between staying in this red state to fight for the rights of people (women, minorities, LGBTQ, and people of minority religions and atheists) or just escaping to the West Coast because I’m SOOOO…

With friendships it different, but I’ve long struggled to keep Politics apart from Family of “Reagan Republicans” (a now meaningless term). In the past, as awful as the Republicans were, it wasn’t quite this extreme. But, between the GOP party platform and Trump’s explicitly hateful racism and misogyny... I’m not sure…

I’m so sorry. I would leave my husband if he voted for Trump. It would have broken my heart, but at the same time, the love would have died so the hardest part would be that we have a few kids. But, seriously, I would have left him. Why be with someone if you share such wildly different values?

“I see no distinction. If you talk like a racist, you are a racist. You are okay with verbally demeaning people based on the color of their skin, and encourage an atmosphere of persecution.”

The first pets will be whatever exotic animal carcasses those goon Trump sons mount to the walls of the White House. :(

“She better wear some goddamn fucking amazing dresses. I’m grasping for just anything right now.”

What did your coworkers say to indicate that they regret their (disgusting) vote and that they’re concerned for their gay coworkers?
