Re: The election
I'm going to leave this video here. This guy sums up some lessons from this election very well in my opinion.

Re: The election
I did not support either candidate but honestly having Trump make a fool out of the news and such was fantastic. Not that it's hard...
By the way, everyone is going to be fine. You're all fine.

Re: The election
Does the lame duck period for Obama start now until January whenever? I did quite poorly in my government class because I simply don't care.

Re: The election
yeah of course but I'm just saying that "you're all fine" isn't as realistic as it might sound

I have a friend who works at the supermarket and was wearing hijab and was told, and I quote, "If Trump gets elected I will kill you" And I didn't witness this happen, I'm relying on what they told me, so if you want to say "lol that never happened, go back to Tumblr", here are some things I HAVE witnessed since the election * A confederate flag hung on the walls of a prominent mosque on Wednesday * A person shouting "leave the country" to my Muslim friend (in public!) I live in Atlanta, so it's not like these behaviors are limited to rednecks in the Midwest.

Re: The election
I'm not tryna stir up drama, my point is just that if it was just that Trump was elected I wouldn't be -horribly- worried, but it seems like his election has emboldened closet racists to do terrible things |

Given the lack of any logical sense it would make to kill someone just because of Donald Trump being elected (laws regarding murder obviously won't change), it would make sense to think that he is in his own world of delusions. I think, that due to the sudden bandwagon of outspoken hatred driven by individuals believing that Donald Trump wanting to deport all Muslims was abhorrence towards terrorism, murder, and torture in the name of God (which is often believed to be ONLY by Muslims), they ended up generalizing their hatred. The hatred is due to misconceptions or just plain ignorance. Donald Trump caused it, but not on purpose. Humans, ESPECIALLY older people, make mistakes. Donald Trump isn't used to the constant publicity and needing to speak in front of thousands/millions can really screw with you and cause you to say what you mean but with bad phrasing. He doesn't want his citizens killing each other after he's become The President, but he can't help it because of the slip ups he's had with his phrasing. I live with two Donald Trumps (my parents who are in their high 60's), who hold similar beliefs. I notice that a lot of the time, they talk but they speak in such misunderstand able ways that if I didn't read between the lines I would hate them for their views on life. This is what I believe. On another note, I heard an interesting line from GradeAunderA, (while on a random video spree), which I would like to have discussed. He stated that hypocrisy was in the air because the Clinton supporters rioting so heavily contradicted the common thought they supposedly had when Trump said he wouldn't concede should he lose the election. Hillary Clinton conceded, amiable, I must admit, but everyone protesting currently contradicted their own beliefs that the loser should concede by rioting because the one they rooted for lost. What do you think of this? Jeez I spent an hour on that post.

This is a thread about the election. Electoral politics are almost inherently dramatic and certainly contentious. If you don't want to deal with drama, maybe don't post shit in a thread about US elections? |

Re: The election
Hey Sanjixcon/ifeelit, even though this isn't a critical thinking thread, it's still not a Skype chatroom either. Also, you're welcome to disagree with other people's viewpoints, but your dismissive tone is something you should set aside. That in combination with the myriad of low-content posting just dilutes the conversation - a conversation that many others do take seriously.

The remainder (and majority) of people rioting were probably in the Sanders-turned-reluctant-Clinton camp, and are more concerned about Trump's rhetoric or the implications/aftermath of someone with such a rhetoric winning than concession. I also don't think any of these people predicted or expected Trump supporters to accept a Trump loss peacefully FWIW.
