I think it's a process... I cried for two days.... Got very productive yesterday.... And yet today, I seem paralyzed again... Not crying... Just sad, angry, scared for my American friends...svca » Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:22 pm wrote:Thank you, Marie
Thanks for letting us vent in here....it's been a depressing week, and I can't seem to snap out of it. I just keep feeling like crying, I feel this weird sense of loss.
I just want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head.
I think I was happier when I was oblivious of politics....it's going to be a loooooong 4 years
every person i talk to in my RL is experiencing the same ...not wanting to get out of bed and face the world that seems to have sifted into some alternate reality...the twilight zone...svca » Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:22 pm wrote:Thank you, Marie

No, he wasn't... He still is!misswood » Sat Nov 12, 2016 5:48 pm wrote:Is it possible he was a Moronchurian candidate?
I hear you all. I live in MA, and while my state voted for Hillary, my town did not and it kills me to know that. I'm dreading Thanksgiving this year because many of my family are supporters of "him", and I hope they have the good sense not to talk politics or I might walk out. This country doesn't know what it's unleashed. It's like Pandora's box.misswood » Fri Nov 11, 2016 4:30 pm wrote:I've been avoiding a good friend of mine ever since this disaster. She keeps calling and I feel bad for not answering, but I just know we will get into a argument. We already have. My husband is avoiding his sister and brother in law. I don't know how to deal with this. This has never happened to me. It's a shame that so many folks are going to lose long time friends and relationships over this horribly vile person.donnamb » Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:15 pm wrote:The results of the election are soul-numbing, yet we'll be going out to dinner tomorrow with friends of some 45 years who are Trump supporters.
My two daughters (in their early 30s) are devastated. Even though our states (Rhode Island and New Jersey) went for Clinton, we all watched in disbelief as state after state fell to Trump's promises. My younger daughter was crushed that a neighbor shot off fireworks Wednesday night to celebrate the results. She texted me that she no longer had any love for the county in which she has lived for her entire life and was considering a move to Vermont - "it's beautiful, progressive, and you can get lots of acreage" - said the girl who has been renovating a 200 year old farmhouse in the heart of our rural and mostly Republican county. Partisan politics never seemed so divisive before.

Don't worry, Tink. We're not gonna let that certified circus peanut deport you!tnkrbell80 » Mon Nov 14, 2016 1:00 pm wrote:WE WILL PREVAIL.
WE WILL NOT BE OPPRESSED.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY BODY AND NO GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL ME OTHERWISE.
I WILL CONTINUE TO STAND WITH MY IMMIGRANT PEOPLE.
I WILL PROTECT OTHERS FROM DISCRIMINATION.
I WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD LOVE AS MUCH AS I CAN.
I WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR.
I WILL BE THERE IF I AM NEEDED.
WE COULD NOT LET THIS MAN TAKE AWAY WHAT BELONGS TO US AND THAT'S FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR ALL!!!!
I WILL CONTINUE TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST LIKE MANY OF MY ANGELINOS HAVE!!! MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD AND ECHOED IN THIS COUNTRY. I WILL NOT STAND DOWN!!!
Sorry for the caps and rant but this is how I feel. There is a lot at stake here and I hope calexit does happen even though it sounds crazy but not as crazy as trump being president, just sayin...
