We live in such a PC culture now.

We failed.

I teach middle school. One of my students, who is gay, absolutely melted down today. We were there to help him out, but: still.

Jesus Christ. What have we done?

Either he will buckle under the weight of his incompetence and look to them to dictate policy, or his massive ego will force him to stick to his guns and muddle through.

Even if he does tone it down, so much damage is done. He has galvanized white supremacists, he has shown that misogyny from an elected official is fine, has cause untold anxiety and stress, and created a hostile environment for so many people. You cannot undo that. Plus the long term effects of a conservative…

I think the hope is that he will quickly realize that he is out of his league and will cede most of the actual governing to Pence and his advisors - who will not be good by any means, but at least they’re politicians who are unlikely to nuke Europe or something like that. The campaign trail is a circus - and Trump is…

I have no doubt Trump was bullshitting the base. The problem is Pence, Ryan and the rest of the Republican elite. The nightmare isn’t Trump, it’s that they now have free reign.

I have heard quite a few people express the hope today that trump will become less abhorrent after the inauguration and he was just putting on an act to get elected. Is this bargaining stage of the five stages of grief?

I am proud to have voted for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. And my bright spot in this is the fact that my little girl has spent the last weeks saying she wanted to be “the first girl president.” And I didn’t know what to say to her. But now I do. #Sophie2052

2 years. Midterms matter.

Hoping Hillary’s loss embolden’s Dems and others to keep fighting and not tolerate bullshit just because it’s been made popular thanks to y’all’s new president:

I feel so bad for her. My heart just breaks thinking about how hard she worked and how she must feel. And the Obamas. Can you imagine Michelle having to even think about those miscreants walking around the White House? One of the most beloved First Families is leaving us, and we get Nouveaux Riche Trash People moving…

I just start crying at random. I am giving you a big internet hug...

And this is why, to all those who tell me to suck it up and work to help Trump and this new administration succeed, I say: no. I will no longer help raise men up at my own expense. I will no longer participate in a state that deems discrimination acceptable. I will no longer sit and smile at the incessant sports…

Her pain is the pain everyone who voted for her is feeling. I have no idea how there can be unity after all the things he’s said. We can’t forget any of it.

I feel so stick to my stomach about everything.

The House. The Senate. The Justices.

I’ve been dizzy all day and I just want to hug HRC.

I had severe PTSD from the debates and now I just want to lay down under my desk and cry.

I am walking around today feeling like the pain she is feeling is mine too. It was her loss, it was my loss too and I am feeling it deeply as I struggle not to cry at my desk today. I feel I admire Clinton more than before. We may never call her Madam President, but I think we all will remember her grace and her…

This was lovely & y’all have to quit making me cry at work. Thank you.

Well, well, well, here I go again: since I posted at the Gary Johnson one, it’s only fair to post it here too...

Jill Stein is nothing more than a vanity candidate. She has no relevant experience, and her policy positions are dangerously incoherent and irrational. Anyone who voted for her should be ashamed of themselves.
