Just wait until buyer’s remorse sets in.
I’m… pretty calm, after the initial day of bewildered disbelief- the election results are very unlikely to change much of anything in our day to day life, and, to put it bluntly, there’s plenty of other things I can worry about that I -can- change.
Warning issued
There is nothing wrong with expressing your personal happiness at the outcome of this election in this thread. However “suck it, bitches” crosses a clear line. Warning issued for being a jerk.
Eh, doing fine, in general. My own line of work being politically involved I unfortunately cannot tune out, so I may be suffering more from sheer overload.
Actually a little more than a quarter, if you base yourself on eligible population.
And I’ve always been suspicious of the people around me, what, this is the first time you’ve noticed they’re up to no good?

I did not vote for Trump.

I feel perfectly fine.
My apologies to the board. I was trying to be flippant and amusing, and got carried away. It won’t happen again.
I’m avoiding most news for the time being. Images of Trump meeting with Obama at the White House make me physically ill.
Inauguration Day will be difficult. No way will I watch that man taking the oath of office and parading through the streets of DC. I’ll be volunteering with a women’s health organization in my community.
Wednesday morning I went to the gym, paid my $100 bet, and then did 85’s on incline DB bench for the first time, so all that anger must be good for something.
I’m mostly over the feeling-beat-up part of it, and back to doing my normal stuff normally. I’ve had heartburn, though, which I hadn’t had for years.
Goddamn what a bunch of hothouse flowers :rolleyes:.
I’m not a bit worried. I’m a White male, USA-born, English-speaking, and can pretend to be Christian if I need to.

Keep the not so thinly vieled insults to yourself.
Everyone I thought I was clear: Express your opinions but no insults about how others are feeling or directed to anyone else.
I’m suicidally depressed.
In a way I’m glad that there are posters who’ve come into this thread to point and laugh, because it means I’m right. This wasn’t just politics.
Really, I feel the same. Better so than previous since I just stopped looking for work…for the time being. The last week of December is when I start making progress again.
Shit, I’m sorry. I forgot this was a safe space.

Messsasss gonna cry!
Meh. The republicans survived Obama. The democrats will survive Trump. Each with their own chest beating histrionics and rhetoric. It’s the end of the world, the sky is falling. Lather-rinse-repeat in four years.
I will not live long enough to see the coasts under water, so why should I care.
I am not Hispanic, so why should I care.
I am not Muslim, so why should I care.
I am not a woman, so why should I care.
I am not black, so why should I care.
On the other hand, my children, all three of whom live in the US have been trying for a year or so to get my wife and me to move to the US and we have now decided not to, for the time being at least.
Normally I turn out my light around 11 and fall asleep fairly quickly. Wednesday morning I turned in at 1:30 and didn’t fall asleep till 4. But my sleeping is back to normal now.
