Also, how is any of that speculation? He literally said he wants to do these things.

It's funny how when I tell you what he wants to do, you get nervous and play it off as speculation.

Take a chill pill. Already his most insane stuff is off his list because everyone knows it wont happen. His ban all Muslim thing is off his list, and the "lock her up" crap is already being squashed by even the people who wanted to lock her up most (Christie, Gulianai).

Republicans had complete control before when Bush was around, and everything didn't go to complete shit. And before you mention the housing crash, yes that was horrible, but that wasn't Bush's fault. In fact right before he left office, he signed something to help stabilize the economy again.

All I'm saying is take a deep breath. It's not the end of the world, and this shit won't dominate our headline and lives every day now. That's why I said we can get on with our lives, because the media loves to play up the division storm, and loves to hype up these candidates, and loves to help play into the two party system and only cover a third party candidate extensively when he makes a flub.

It's done with, it's over. Let's move on. Do what Bernie said he wants to do. Support him when it comes to helping the economy, and helping the middle class, and cry out in protest when even the smallest of human rights is so much as thought to be violated.

I should also note that you need to be worried more about Mcconnell and his supporters, than you do Trump. Keep an eye out for that civil war. This guy doesn't so much as want to fix infrastructure, or change the status quo.

LOL

Were you living under a rock during that his presidency?

your all caps lol is annoying, calm down

It's happened before. This shouldn't cause you to think our country is suddenly fucked over. It's survived far worse.

Where do you get the idea that I think this is the end times?

I'm saying we're going to go through some really rough times due to this, everybody is.

You might be able to just say "oh well back to everyday life", but tons of people who will be directly affected by this can't.

It just feels like that's where you were coming from.

And yeah, but regardless of who won, tough times were ahead. Race relations were going to get worse regardless of who won. And the middle class, or whatever is left of it, will only suffer more unless something massive happens, and one person sadly can't do it.

Seven of the nine judiciaries that ruled on Roe v Wade were republican appointed. It's not going anywhere and neither is marriage equality.

You raised that up before, and I hope you are correct. I know gay marriage isn't. Obamacare is all but out though, but that was falling on its face before this was happening anyway.

Good post, but on your PSU point, he's been insanely tame, making me think he was posting inflammatory just to get a rise out of people.

That's not what he said.

I'm on about him shutting up about the rigged election, which almost always baited people into arguing with him, and thus it continued. He hasn't mentioned it, or much of anything bait wise after the election. Hell even during it he was relaxed.

Duh that was Flee's point

I know, and my point was that during the election he wasn't baiting and was calm, and afterwards he was as well, making me think it was all just inflammatory to get a rise out of people.

What's your point here? You could go back to replying to my post to you about how I was under a rock with that congress that totally wasn't under Republican control.

Well this is ironic. I expected this from Texas or some other deeply conservative state first.

This has been a wild few days. Most of my friends have been to safe spaces in thier colleges because they were so distraught. They were also upset that there were no feel good 'everything is gonna be ok' emails from staff.

Yeah, my campus LGBT center was extra packed yesterday. Don't know about today, I won't be on campus.

Our campus has been holding protests.

Idk man, i guess i just dont get why these people are content to huddle in thier crying corners instead of busting down dnc doors to demand answers.

Because there will be a time for that, in the coming months. Rebuilding and reshaping the Democratic party is going to be a long process.

For now, students and millenials are just trying to come together for one another. And if that is just a big issue for you (Or anyone), then you have to sort out priorities.

no issue, i just dont get how that takes priority. I would think to strike while the iron is hot and while people still care about thier candidates is the best move but
¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯
You gotta do whats best for you, but i dont see the long term payoff.

Because there isn't much that can be done, at least right now. At least not until the start of 2017 when the DNC and Congress begin picking their new leaders. People can write their representatives and senators if they wish, but until they reconvene, it won't do much.

Until then, the next month or so will just be a period of frustration and anger.

lol its a very big issue for me. Its fucking embarrassing that a bunch of 20 somethings are literally crying over an election. Wahhhhh my safe space.

And here I thought your civility from the past two days would stand.

I could retort that it's embarrassing that a bunch of fifty somethings spent the past eight years crying over a fictional issue that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim, but I have a bit more class than that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and reacting as such.

70 years ago 15 year olds were shipped overseas to kill germans.

I'm glad you know your history.
