sick over all the president bs

[o2bnocn]

It seems to be going a little quieter now.... maybe we just all need time!

Are you happy with the outcome?

[adriarobi]

I am very ready for a fresh start with the goal of the best for us all.

If folks melt down over losing an election, why would we ever want them in the offices

I can't even think about the election results without crying or saying a lot of bad words.

I don't know how old you are, but this has the potential to happen every 4 years, so that means I have voted in 14 elections and I assure you, they have not all gone my way. All you can do is shake it off, take a step up and go your way.

I agree 100% with this statement, is not worth the hassle just hope for the best and lets wait and see

I blame a lot of this on the media, the hatred by certain people in congress and even Hillary when she called half the Trump supporters deplorables. Is this a way to act? Trump wasn't much better with his name-calling but I don't think he put the fear of the world ending into the kids like the other side did.

Last Wednesday morning when my wife woke up my daughter she immediately asked her mom who who the election. When my wife told her Trump had won, she said, "Mommy I am scared."  I did not know about that comment for a few days until my wife told me last week.  So on Saturday I asked my daughter why she said that and what made her scared. I told her not to be afraid to tell me and not to say what she thought I wanted to hear. (She knew that I was in favor of Donald over Hillary).  Her reply made me really sad, but also confirmed for me that I had made the right choice.


She said: "Because Hillary Clinton said that if Trump was elected he would turn all women into slaves."  When I asked her where she heard that (because quite frankly I had not heard that 'quote' myself) she said that she saw it on the news, but insisted that it was something that Hillary herself had said.


I have NO IDEA what she actually saw or heard - if it was actual video of Hillary making a speech or if it was some media outlet commentary or what. It is very possible that it was a 10 year old's interpretation of what she saw or heard. But whatever it was I believe it was the result of irresponsible media exaggeration and/or hyperbole fear rhetoric.


Reasonable adults know that Trump is not Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. He is not going to exterminate people because of their gender or race.  He has no plans to enslave women. But when variations of that message are irresponsibly repeated over and over in effort to make your opponent look like a monster and increase your own popularity among voters, something else comes along with it -- whether intentional or not. Young and impressionable minds envision a dictator putting women into literal slavery and it makes them afraid.


I suppose others may interpret this differently and say that this is because Trump is a racist misogynist.  But I put my daughter's fear or being enslaved squarely on the media and the Clinton campaign.

It has nothing to do with a lady president. She is a liar, and some of our guys dies because of her in bengauzi. The list goes on.

I was sick and tired of it before it even got started.  And now we know we will have at least 4 more years of it.  I certainly hope who voted made the right decision.  (and i mean either way,,  Trump or Clinton becoming president)
