Count me in as someone who is terrified. This is the first Christmas I will not spend Christmas with my parents because I cannot pretend that their votes for DUMB ASSHOLE has not affected me and will not affect me going forward. I’ll be spending a diverse NYC Christmas instead of being trapped in a lily-white bubble…

It’s worth a shot. We may not still have elections by then, but let’s plan for it as if we will! Gotta do the groundwork for House and Senate, and all the local races are more crucial than ever too.

A lot of people DIDN’T survive Bush the Lesser.

Not surprised at all. I stopped crying quite a while ago. Only thing we can do now is fight back. No more kindness, no more benefit of the doubt. Just make this man’s life as miserable as possible and try to block everything they do.

Now can we direct all this energy toward 2018 please?

We knew it was coming and now it’s merely official. The democratic will of the people was ignored for the fifth time in US history and for the second time in 16 years to position a leader into place who will play nice with the racist, fearful, and ignorant establishment that our culture likes to pretend has any…

We are.

Welp. Here we go. Time to find out if our democracy is really as resistant to demagoguery as we all believed.

Probably it would be a good idea now to stop formulating absurd hail mary plays to overturn this election and instead concentrate of making sure the right people win the NEXT couple.

What their electorate wants, based on how they just voted, is to have a Democratic governor - the one whose powers are now being stripped. Much like the national electorate voted for Hillary by a margin of 2.6 million votes. In both cases, a majority of votes isn’t enough to win either the NC House or the US House,…

It’s a good thing the democrats essentially fundraised to rebuild that NC GOP building that got destroyed. Really good idea, there. Excellent gesture. Nobody could ever have predicted that the GOP would do this in return.

Democrats need to wake up... you are not dealing with political opponents. With political opponents, there is a baseline agreement on what the rules are and where the boundaries of ethics should be. What we have here is an egregious lack of good faith political participation with a brazen grab for total power by any…

This sort of legislation comes of pure political ignorance. In a state like NC (assuming this legislation holds up in court), it’s likely the next Governor will be a Republican and this move will bite that one’s ass. Stupid and short sighted conservative over-reach (yet again).

Republicans have become a disease.

I just thank God that Kasich is out for term limits this next election cycle. The bastard needs to GO.

Exactly. What about the GOP and fucking Putin, makes anybody think they have a line they will never cross? Peace and love and compromise are awesome goals if your opponent has a conscience. They have none.

Well said, thank you.

I think Obama’s not yelling and screaming because we don’t deserve it.

I am not going to get angry because he tried to stop the ugliness in politics, etc.
