God, yes, that was awful...
He should have retired after the German reunion...

But what if the majority of Germans wanted him to stay?
That's democracy

All things are relative...even awfulness!

**Posted by besleybean** **Online!** April 15, 2016 4:10 pm

Quite so.

Reading the news doesn't make me any happier.

I start to get reaaaaally worried.

**Posted by besleybean** **Online!** April 27, 2016 4:03 pm

Don't we all?!

You'd think so, yes. And yet, people are supporting him. I cannot get over the fact that apparently so many people think he is like a good idea. When does it stop??

What do you think about the speech he made?

There's almost nothing left to say about that person *the one who must not be named* but Zachary Quinto had something to say that sums it up wonderfully.

Wow, what an epic rant. And so true, all of it.

Good ole', Zachary...love him to bits!

Again and again, I catch myself thinking that it is how people in the world might have felt about what was happening in Germany in 1930s.
How the hell is that possible?

Everytime I think Trump or his supporters can't shock me anymore, they do.

Check this out. Some may laugh, but I find this horrifying.

Trump Supporters Suggest Repealing the 19th Amendment.

Fingers crossed this orange monster won't get into the White House.

I just heard one commentator on Australian TV say, "women around the world, not just in America, are have having visceral anxiety at the thought of Trump getting elected." So true, I feel sick at the moment.

It's not over yet...that's what I am hoping. Part of it feels like it's not really happening, from my standpoint, but I think if I was American I would be unable to think about anything else.

**Posted by SusiGo** November 9, 2016 7:58 am

I am shocked and terribly sad for my American friends.

**Posted by KeepersPrice** November 9, 2016 8:35 am

Thank you, Susi. Many of us are terribly shocked and sad too. This doesn't feel like my America any more. We have devolved.....

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 9, 2016 8:56 am

I am so sorry, not just to the Americans but for everyone. Ugh.

And selfishly I'm really sad about this too. Trump triggers my PTSD and gives me anxiety attacks everytime I hear his voice. I'm not trying to be funny, he does.

So what. I have to spend the next 4 years avoiding the news? I wonder how many people have the same problem

For them and for the whole world.

I was up until almost midnight last night, checking in on the election on my phone and the radio. Clinton caught up for a while, but Trump was leading again when I went to sleep. He was president in my dreams last night, and I was hoping that when I'd see the TV news during breakfast that my dreams wouldn't be true...but they were.

This feels kind of absurd and surreal right now, at least for me.

**Posted by tonnaree** November 9, 2016 2:35 pm

Hurt and angry. Been crying a lot. Sad and frustrated. Horrified at what my country has done. We all laughed at Trump but this is not a joke. I fear for my friends and loved ones. Women, blacks, LBGT, Muslims, Hispanics - the alt right has just been given a free pass to give in to their bigotry and hatred.
We made so much progress in the last couple of decades, I am very scared to lose it.

PS. Someone hold me.
