Motor City Sonics Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 The Democrats can't run a woman again. That's what it is, man. This country won't vote for a woman. We're so stupid. We get what we deserve. I'm devastated. Just absolutely devastated. If I had the means, I'd be leaving. I can only imagine the type of people he'll surround himself with this time It is not far-fetched to say that we might not get a chance to vote in 2028. So much damage is about to be done.

RatkoVarda Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 1. I had already mentally prepared myself for a Trump win in the Spring, so this is not as bad as 2016 for me 2. Trump would have rolled Biden, so I'm glad they tried Harris 3. This is exactly what about half the country wants - a vile entertainer who insults and degrades their fellow Americans. 4. Ukraine is fukked 5. The Ronz's hardcore analysis proved correct 6. Steve Bannon's plan continues to work wonderfully. Flood the zone with sh|t, and then institutions, the media, and the public get overwhelmed and basically shutdown. This is where I am. I am going to the Tigers and Lions boards, and that's it for me. (Trump has no plan to help 95% of his supporters. He will probably cut my taxes, and, if he does not crash the stock markets, he will be good (maybe very good) financially for my family and my wife's business. I have no more energy to explain to a relative literally living in a camper under power lines that Trump is not going to help him.) 7. The Supreme Court is lost for the rest of my life. Trump will appoint 5 MAGA justices when Alito and Thomas step down. If Sotomayor dies, that's 6. And I would not be surprised if Roberts is told to step down in Trump's final year, so that would be 7. Say goodbye to ACA, gay marriage, EPA, voting rights, equal rights, civil rights, queer rights, etc. 8. None of this is as depressing as what my son (who voted in his 1st POTUS race) asked: if Americans won't elect a woman, why do we keep running them? He's right. A lot of Americans won't vote for a woman POTUS. Biden was the worst candidate of Biden, Hillary and Harris, and Biden won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually TRILLION, not billion. We've already been headed to a new gilded age, now we will get there faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the truth. I have some savings, but not enough. I've suggested to friends/family members that we get together and move to a country where we can stay if we can buy property. And so far for almost 10 years, not one person has explained to me how somebody with six bankruptcies and about 7-8 failed 'business' ventures is good for the economy. So people who think that are deluded or that's not the real reason they voted for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 What gets me the most about this is the seeming futility of expecting ordinary human decency to come to the fore and to prevail when its services can mean the most at the most critical of moments. Our most deplorable appetites prevail over and over again, and are so easily seduced out of their fetid lairs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaceyLou Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I don't care what race, gender or background a President is. I won't deny that it sucks that about half the population will be rejected just for being a woman, but ultimately I just want somebody who will lead the way to maintain our infrastructure, find ways to balance the environment and business needs, and to help ensure that a health crisis doesn't lead to financial ruin. (this is to name a few). And I'll be honest-I'm scared that my boyfriend will be a casualty, even though he is now a citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) We all have our reasons for being despondent and hurt by this. For me, it's the bullying and cruelty that stings. As a kid I was very badly bullied growing up. Other kids bullied everything about me, from my short stature for a guy (I'm 5'4) to my perceived sexual orientation to the sound of my voice to the fact that I was a marching band fag. I got called faggot, homo, gay (not meant in a nice way), gay boy, band fag, queer, asked if I had ever sucked **** before. Kids would plug their nose and try to mock the sound of my voice. I'd get called dwarf, midget, an ompalompa, asked when I was going to ever start growing. Being short I was by no means a tough guy and would get bumped into, elbowed, pushed, slapped in the back of the head, etc. In 11th grade, during my math class with Mrs. Candela, I had a kid one day threaten to bring a gun to school and talk about how fun it'd be to sit on the roof top of one of our school buildings and pick kids off. He said it'd be fun to pick kids like me off. I sat there paralyzed and frozen with fear. That same kid tried to "invite me" to his "birthday party" out in the woods to play paintball with him and some of his friends. He made up a fake birthday flyer and gave it to me, trying to lure me out there. Luckily my intuition told me better and I didn't go. Same kid used to tell me how fun it would be to smash "someone's" head in with a baseball bat or break "someone's" arm because he could. That "someone" he was referencing was me of course. I got drug down the hallway and nearly thrown into the girls bathroom while the colorguard girls were changing for marching band practice. The same kids that drug me down the hallway held me down at band camp sophomore year while I was sleeping and hit me with one of those electric fly swatters that looks like a tennis racket and zaps flies. I remember of those same kids that bullied me in band asking me if I ****ed my mom and if my dad came over to pile on and make sandwiches with my mom (my parents were divorced and the kid knew that). He also made me go over to his house and record the sound of my voice on his CPU so he could use me for his amusement doing prank calls to others and whatnot. I'm sorry for airing out my soul here, it's not the place to do it. My therapists office is. But what hurts me deep down to my insides, deep in my soul, is that the bullies have won. That pains me in a certain kind of way. We just re-elected the ultimate bully, with no consequences for his bad, bullying, disgusting behavior.

The GOP lost their supermajority (veto proof) in the General Assembly but still controls the House and Senate.
