I imagine reminding yourself that you’re filthy fucking rich is a decent way to get through life’s tough spots.

Probably...I live in a coal town and there aren’t many wealthy people here. Some poor folks, but many are middle class and and the ones I know pride themselves on life in their ignorant little bubbles. I don’t think Trump’s ideas are going to help them, or poor folks out.

How about you just take a seat, breath, and read this: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/11451378/smug-american-liberalism

I know exactly what you mean, but the one thing he seems to do to “control” people doesn’t work on me. I AM NOT SCARED OF DONALD TRUMP!! Everyone needs to stand up, and NOT be intimidated by that big orange bully with tiny little hands! Shirts and signs need to say.... I AM NOT SCARED OF DONALD TRUMP!! Don’t break…

When the other candidate was endorsed by the KKK, I feel pretty okay saying I was right and my Cousin Bill was wrong.

I understand...believe me, I do. But one thing I promised myself was that in the event that the Cheeto Monster won, I would NOT flee to another country (I’m no quitter!) nor would I ditch my friends who saw fit to vote for him. (My real friends...not the Facebook High School leftover group. I got rid of most of those…

Thanks. I needed to hear that. On one hand I want to be a good ally for my friends who will be even more negatively affected by Trump’s presidency than I am. On the other I am also tired of educating hateful selfish people.

I deleted my Facebook account today.

Thank you for the open thread and the amazing coverage.

Anyone who witnessed 2000 and 2004 will tell you that policy wonks never win elections. Answering a debate question with “I have a plan for that” is not a good strategy. When are Clinton supporters ever going to acknowledge her flaws? Her lack of transparency, trustworthiness and charisma. Her complete adherence to…

Both actually. Crude and shocking posts by gloating republicans and depressing ones by democarats. Oh and verbal fist fights in the comments of said posts.

So what’s up with Cheeto Jr.? Did anyone notice him standing there during the acceptance speech - twitching, making faces, and fussing?

Been kinda freaking out all day. I have a pre-exsisting condition (Crohn’s) and have been thinking about the possibility of him repealing the clause about Insurance Co being able to deny coverage etc due to that.

FB has been insane today.

The problem with Clinton’s candidacy was that her victory was always and only going to be symbolic. Her campaign offered nothing else of substance. She lost and she and the DNC are the only ones to blame.

All the smug indignation, name calling and shaming of people who were voting for someone other than Clinton really worked magic didn’t it?

Maybe Hillary should have done a better job reaching out to the progressive left instead of undermining their platform at every chance? Hillary lost. She lost many states and demos that Obama won twice. She sucks and this is all her retro 90s campaign.

Why are y’all blaming everyone under sun except Hillary Clinton for Trump’s victory? She ran a horrible campaign, took her base for granted and offered nothing to the country other than saying she wasn’t as bad as Trump. It’s Clinton and her team that lost the election; blame them and only them.

I can. And there’s another outcome. We now know we’re basically a stupid country, we ignore shit right in our face and dive right in like it’s caviar.

You’re not off-topic at all. You’re dead on - America has always been touted as the land of tolerance and embrace of others in their uniqueness, and it’s just not anymore (maybe it never was and we just weren’t in on it). Now people are afraid of those who have less than them, who look different from them, who worship…
