How sombering/sad is it that Barry is going to have to turn over the presidency to a guy literally endorsed by the KKK?

Sigh.

So what am I supposed to avoid calling Trump voters? Is it "stupid" or just "racist"? Pretty sure I haven't gone with racist, but definitely mocked their intelligence.

Maybe if he's implying that progs views that TOP MEN are needed convinced a large part of the trump electorate that that's true. But that doesn't seem likely.

Everyone needs to take a chill pill.

The country is going to go on. America is a great country because it takes a hell of a lot more than one person in a single term as president to screw everything up.

Nate did a fantastic job the past two weeks.

It seriously impacts the lives of a substantial minority. Literally millions of people.

idk bros. my whole life ive avoided politics because ive genuinely believed in the past that both candidates were close enough to each other that not much would really change. Like it was giving us two similar options for us to fight over to make it seem like we had a choice when really business would proceed as usual. I live in the heartland of trump country though and im ****ing terrified. ive seen the hatred and venom these people bring at others that are different than them and it makes me weep.

i guess i just dont feel like people cant sit here and tell me trump is a candidate unlike any other previously and we're going to see that come election day and then turn around once he wins and tell me not to sweat not much will really change like always.

i wish i would have cared more at the start. ultimately i feel shame for being so jaded in politics that i thought it didnt matter. it did.

****.

im also drunk
sorry

Larry, do you not have any money in the markets or intend to invest at all? If so then it absolutely affects you.

Yes, stats will be lold at. People are quite dumb and think 85% is the same as 100. But we already knew that people are quite dumb. What's really irritating is that we have to share the world with them.

Combine that with the most right wing group of conservatives this country has ever seen controlling every level of the federal government now. A group that takes pride in denying science, hateful rhetoric, a VP who has fought for conversion therapy and forcing women to have funerals for their miscarriages. A President supported by a group of voters who are expecting their new glorious leader to put his political opponent in prison, build a giant boondoggle of a wall along the US/Mexican border, kick all Mexicans and Muslims out of the country, overturn Roe v Wade, and destroy freedom of the press. Positions that are trivially easy to make happen when you control every level of the Federal Government, have an electoral mandate, and openly campaigned on these promises.

THIS IS FINE THOUGH! Won't affect me at all.
