New Mexico’s blue and full of delicious food. Still far from most Texans, though.

Call me a completionist, but i feel like the years 1600-1650, 1794-1800, and 1920-2016 belong in some category. And we should have an Age of Innocence somewhere around 1870-1914 to make clear the pun on Edith Wharton’s novel. But none of these suggestions really contribute to the conversation so nvm.

This election has me genuinely doubting that many of us are intrinsically good people.

Huh. I always thought calling someone ’dear’ was condescending and calling someone an ‘asshole’ was blandly hostile. I guess calling someone a redneck is so much worse because...it’s accurate?  

I hesitate to engage with trolls, but...it sounds fun. OK, unlike Trump 24 hours ago, no one here is claiming it was a rigged election. No one is denying his legitimacy as president-elect. We’re simply grieving together. This ought to be a safe space where we can do that, but apparently you’re the sort of person who…

And have we ever confirmed that he knows how to read??

On the bright side, the next presidential campaigns will probably start mobilizing in only 2 years. Life is just one eternal election.

The thing is, they ARE rednecks, racists and all those other things. I don’t think we should celebrate hateful discourse just because we’re afraid that hateful people will bite back.

Can we add “Fuck straight people” just so I don’t completely fit the targeted demographic??

The ONLY silver lining would be four more years of Jezebel’s Trump descriptions. Can you imagine the heights that genre might achieve??

Seriously. Can we just give them to Mexico and spare ourselves the drama?

I’m single, 25, and about to apply to grad school. That sense of nauseous betrayal you’ve described so well has me seriously considering British Columbia. Like, I want some distance for a few years.

I’m not above it. Just need a bowl of milk.

Is it too late to spend the past year-and-a-half writing about dicks?? And if not could you recommend to me a site that does? K thanks.

I was actually just realizing how interesting of a pairing Taylor and Aziz would be...

Which is insane. I guess they no longer care if they appear blindly partisan and are just all-in on blatant obstructionism. This shouldn’t be something you’re proud of, Republicans.

Yeah, reading back through my comment I think I appeared more sincere than I intended. Half of my intent was to demonstrate how the don’t-vote-third-party logic fails when the two main “parties” are truly loathsome. The other half of my intent *was* sincere; I’m one of those people who struggles to see the point of…

I’m actually facing a dilemma regarding this issue at the moment. I support Hillary, but in my state (Utah) the race is between Trump and an independent candidate, McMuffin or whatever his name is. Short of winning the state herself, Hillary would be best-served by McNugget winning Utah to deny its votes to Trump. So…

I live in Utah. It’s got to be easier to acquire in Canada.

Watching Trump’s ego slowly collapse in on itself on Twitter as votes are tallied was going to be the sweet, sweet conclusion to this year of awfulness. Now I don’t even get that?? Man, blue balls here in Utah :(
