What we’re experiencing now is the dread that he’s going to be President for the next four years. OMG ! That is so true, I am really worried about how much damage Trump will do in the next 4 years ! This is a fucking nightmare ! ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > I don’t have the same faith you do. The Dems are notorious for picking some pretty awful, unlikable candidates. Remember Gore and Kerry? And they _almost_ ran Hillary over Obama in '08. Imagine the disaster that would have been. They got really lucky that Obama had such a force of personality to win the people over. Bernie was almost there, but just not quite. I have zero hope they will pick anyone good/electable for '20/'24. I’d like to think there’s one party that gives some consideration to how qualified a candidate is to be President rather than just focusing on how charismatic they’ll be as a candidate. ---

Do you even think? “Hey, I don’t think this school should give you a public venue to say that stuff” is hardly “the most violent mob” deciding what can or cannot be said.

But (assuming that “shitty dinner B” is a proxy for Trump and “shitty dinner A” is a proxy for Clinton), the proposition is so patently, inarguably opposite to reality that treating it as factual can only plausibly be explained by drooling stupidity or active hatred of the United States. ---
