Election Tuesday was this week and we now have a new President-Elect and it wasn’t a very popular choice.
Donald Trump.
In many’s eyes, it’s the end of the world. The United States has descended into a chaos and disappointment with riots and protests.
How can a misogynistic racist idiot get elected President?
Hillary wasn’t a strong candidate.
The DNC with their shady ways backed a candidate that, although fit to serve, wasn’t the right person to be the Democratic nominee.
People just don’t trust her. People just don’t like her.
I don’t trust her, and especially with all the WikiLeaks leaked emails from the DNC spelling out how the DNC conspired to get Hillary to be the Democrat Nominee, it made me like her less and ultimately made me not vote for her.
If she won the primaries fair and square without the whole fiasco that transpired, yes, she would have gotten my vote, but she didn’t.
Many voted against her or didn’t even vote because of that.
I didn’t vote for her because of that. I wrote in Bernie, even though I knew that California was going to go to Hillary. I got my protest vote. I got my conscientious vote in.
Many Democrats were shocked to see that happen. I think a majority of the country were shocked to see that Trump won, but was it really a surprise?
I think they just couldn’t fathom the idea that Trump would win, but early polls way back in the year showed that if the election was between Trump and Clinton, it’ll be a tight race with Trump possibly winning. If the race was between Trump and Sanders, Sanders would have won in a landslide.
What was so hard to understand? This poll was well before the primaries, but because of the push of the supposedly non-partisan DNC for Clinton, Clinton because the nominee.
It was a rough election. It was a very contentious election. It was even named to be an election to elect the “Lesser of two Evils”.
‘Murica.

I think that Trump wouldn’t be as bad as everyone is making it out to be. He was a Democrat and in a way, he was a smart businessman.
He knows how to play people and to play the system to get what he wants. He wouldn’t be up top where he is if he didn’t.
I believe that he’s just shooting the shit out of his mouth just to get the votes that he needs. He played toward the Republicans, spewing the putrid garbage and hate just because that’s what his base wants to hear. That got him the votes that he needed.
Now, hopefully, he’ll take a step back from everything he said and just take the damn job seriously and be the Democratic moderate that he was.
I don’t believe that someone so hateful could rear a daughter, Ivanka, that gave that very progressive and liberal speech at the RNC. There has to be a part of the real Trump in that speech. I hope.

So, the nation protests, fighting, with their hashtag #notmypresident.
Just fucking get over it. He won fair and square and he’ll be out President come January.
I don’t always agree with the conservatives and Republicans or even want to fucking agree with that pretty blonde with the horrific and loud hate that she spews, but she made a good point. She said exactly what I want to say to my own base.
Basically, he won fair and square. We don’t always win and get what we like, so stop fucking throwing these stupid temper tantrums, suck it up, and deal with it. Be a fucking adult.
Soon, the nation will come down and things will turn back to a semblance of normalcy and life will go on.

I don’t know what the future will hold. I’m not a prophet or a time traveler or a psychic. Trump could not finish his first term or he’ll do it and everything will be okay.
I’m willing to give him a chance. The country has spoken, well, the electoral college system, and not the popular vote, but Trump will become our President.
I really don’t care what happens. Life will go on.
Sure, there might be trouble, but when haven’t there been trouble when it comes to the world.
Stories of hate have been spiking after the election with middle-school children chanting “Build that Wall” during lunch or somewhat student calling a black student that word and telling him to go back to Georgia and pick cotton.
Hate is everywhere and it had always been here and it’s not going to go anywhere.
I would love to believe that we don’t have this issue anymore, but if the last fucking past few years have shown the world anything, it’s alive and well.
We would all love to think that we are very progressive and have changed, but hate is here.
Many POC are worried about their lives with the blatant racism that is going on.
I believe the racism isn’t directly related to Trump and his words and that these fucking white idiot fucktards are racist to begin with, but as my boss made the point that Trump’s words and actions did make it acceptable.
Racism and hate isn’t acceptable in the world. As much as I hate organized religion, Christianity and its flock in particular with their fucking hypocrisy; always preaching love and acceptance, but it was them that elected Trump.
They help elect this hate monger. This group that preaches and “practices” love and openness and the gospels of Jesus – the symbol of love – are the ones that helped elect hate.
Way to go.
Way. To. Go.

Let’s just see what happens now.
