Wielding a shotgun in front of the White House. You and me. That’s how we’ll die.

Take care of yourself. Take a long shower, eat something you like, be kind to yourself. We all need to get to a better head space now.

Same here. My husband took me out to lunch after seeing me ugly cry to cheer me up. People at the restaurant were going about their day as usual, talking and laughing. It felt so alien to me. I felt completely disconnected and tbh angry at whoever thought and felt today was a day like any other.

1. You’re not throwing away friends because of an election. You are throwing away friends because they are either racist misogynists or comfortable with the idea of voting for one, and that’s not a quality you want in a friend.

They aren’t reachable. We have to take this one on the chin and let them fail themselves.

Burn the witch at the stake.

Just wanna say that there are a lot of people in Australia (and the rest of the world) who love you guys and are rallying behind you to crush these bigoted shits four years from now.

Thank you. I spent most of today mourning with and checking in on my friends. I’m still in denial.

I’m really over all the holier-than-thou Facebook posts from privileged assholes about how they don’t care about other people’s politics and they won’t be unfriending people over their views. Like, I’m sorry that I don’t want people who voted against my worth as a human being in my life? ugh.

Don’t worry about adult ways. Tell her you don’t want to speak to her and hang up. If she comes over, close the door gently in her face. If she tries to use your spouse to reach you, tell him/her that you cannot be civil to her and thus have no interest in a conversation.

Don’t forgive her if you don’t want to. She’s the one who ruined your friendship and helped ruin this country and she can just deal with the debris.

I deleted my Facebook account today.

I also deleted everyone who supported Trump from FB. Thankfully, it wasn’t that many people. Unfortunately, it included my step-dad. I don’t think these people don’t get it - I think they don’t care. I think that to take rights from women, from people of color, from the LGBT+ community, from non-Christians is what…

To be honest, I’m in the same boat, and I deleted without a hint of remorse. These people aren’t worth my time or energy, nor are they worth yours: all of us are much better off focusing on helping those we can, protecting those we can’t, and making sure that those we can neither help nor protect from themselves…

Thank you for the open thread and the amazing coverage.

This can certainly the election for many out there. My brother is one of them. He’s a DREAMEr. Life basically been on hold since he graduated high school because he’s undocumented. He’s been following this election CLOSE. Worried what will happen to him if Trump is elected.

There is a difference between “shutting down discourse” (which, btw, almost everyone here is NOT doing) and “we don’t want to hear you ramble on about how agreeing with us makes you a hero”

My road to enfranchisement was a little more arduous, I must admit. I had to dress my penis, unlike those of you lucky enough to vote by may. Then I had to drag him out of the house and into the public sphere, where who knows what dangers he might get into and out of, into and out of? I tell you, if I wasn’t fully in…

As a straight white male:
