You’re probably right. I’m still shocked and emotional about the whole thing. I’ve wanted a Warren president since before Trump came down the stupid escalator. I think I’m just telling myself it will happen so that I can start to get on with my life.

I’m working through stages. I think this one is denial.

I think once they get a taste of what Trump is really like, the fickle masses will come running back to camp competence.

Michael Moore catches a lot of hell. Even liberals here in Asheville don’t seem to take him too seriously. I’ve seen and enjoyed a few of his films, but I haven’t formed a solid opinion on him one way or the other. I must say though he has been right about Trump for a long time and he’s been making a lot of sense…

I never thought Schumer would be in such an important position. What a terrifying time.

This is how all liberals are going to have to be going forward. Less like NPR, more like Thom Hartmann.

Oh snap!

Newt Gengrich / Flavor Flav 2024!

If Duggar isn’t available they can just get one of the guys from Duck Dynasty.

Just waiting for 2020 election now which at this point I fully expect will end with a David Duke/Howard Stern ticket narrowly defeating Elizabeth Warren/a resurrected Martin Luther King Jr.

Thats the only past president who seems remotely similar to Trump. What a depressing comparison to delve into.

I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty terrified, and I think a lot of people are. Trump probably has binders and binders and binders of women in his past that should be absolutely terrified right now, but he seems to have a weirdly particular beef with RD. I wouldn’t be shocked if she died ‘mysteriously’ in late…

If I were Rosie O’Donnell, I’d be terrified right now.

I miss John Stewart’s Mitch McConnell. I miss John Stewart...

That’s why I don’t *really* get this togetherness argument. I don’t see why I should have to show solidarity or respect for Trump supporters when their candidate, the president-elect, was literally the ringleader of the racist birther movement, when the poison speak that got him elected is horrifying and…

I feel like that argument is basically that well the bigots had to take a few steps back last POTUS, so we’re giving them their turn now, so what’s the big deal?

That’s how it felt in my house that I didn’t leave yesterday...

An actual human being tried to calm me down by saying that how I’m feeling now is how a lot of white people felt when Obama was elected. Because that’s a rational comparison now apparently.

Nearly half of voters still voted for him. Even if half of those voters considered it a conciliatory vote, then one quarter of the country buys into this David Duke wet dream and another quarter is at least willing to give it a shot. I think that is the real nightmare. Our peers put this man in a position of power. If…

I probably have gotten too worked up. But it’s certainly not the first time that I’ve supported a candidate who lost. When Bush won the first time I was mad, when he won the second time I was annoyed and a little more mad. When Trump won I wept for my country.
