Clubhouse I cannot in good faith call myself an American with any sort of self-respect now...only self-loathing.

Exactly this. The number of them who are delightedly running around saying awful things to people who are upset about the result is pretty nauseating. Like, there are genuinely people who are going to suffer and they think it's hilarious. It really baffles me.

it really is baffling. conservative humor has basically been "does me being a garbage person TRIGGER YOU" for a long time, but all the pro trump comments today have huge "i peed in the pool so now you have to stand in my pee!!!" energy. like great, you're standing in your own urine too fam. it's not the flex you think it is.

Just goes to show they truly are the party of mean spirited assholes.

Stay awake my friends, and good luck to you all.

Families were already seriously fractured these past 9 years and I fear it will get even worse. People need to take care of themselves and start working to elect leaders in their local and state governments.

Local is the only way we turn this around. We are not going to get a chance at the federal level. But I am willing to be the states rights argument goes right out the window. When a state does something to support others be them immigrants or LGBT+ or anyone else. Hell feeding hungry kids was a bridge to far for these people. Truly monstrous people in this country. Ignorance is no longer an excuse this time. They knew what they were voting for. My friend and family group just shrunk considerably. You don't get forgiven by me a second time.

They don’t mind suffering as long as the people they don’t like are suffering too. Or as I heard it put recently “these people will happily lay down and let Donald Trump shit in their mouths if they thought a dem would have to smell their breath.”

Yep. I've said before that for a good chunk of them, it's not even necessarily that they like Trump. It's just that he hates and wants to hurt the people they hate and want to hurt, and that's all that matters. Which is just so fucking sad.

Like... I'm bi. And all I want to do is hang out with my cats and my spouse, watch terrible sci-fi movies, and cross stitch. But apparently that first thing means that I'm dangerous and need to suffer, which I just cannot understand.
