We'll see if I go back to the mental hospital but I don't foresee it happening unless work gets really bad again.

I've already internalized that this country is populated by shitty, hateful people. Trump winning again just confirms what I already knew.

I don't live in the USA so I'm doing fine. I appreciate all the comments and feel so bad for each and every one of you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Personally, I feel worse for the each and every one of the 7.7 billion people who didn't have a vote in this election but will now reap its consequences.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Pretty much the same as before the election. Life moves on.

It's just kind of interesting to be asking the red states about this. Red states were already living in that kind of environment. I feel like it's the blue states that people should be asking this question to. I live in a red state. I hate the politics here but life isn't too much different than when I lived in a blue state. I am privileged to be cis tho, so I'd imagine if I were trans I would be terrified. I mean, I'm still a bit scared, but I am a bit of a lucky individual.

You'll find out soon enough how well we're "moving on"

Lemmings in blue states, are you scared that you might get at the national level what you keep callously saying we deserve?

Because maybe if you had some fucking solidarity, there would be fewer red states. We're doing shitty, thank you for all the nothing, and you'll be right there with us soon.

They get it, you deserve it.

Of course they're getting it, because they have been made the boogie man that made your state vote hate to harm them
