Has anyone seen Townsend... What's the emergency board plan to check on our members?
A gay cousin of mine hit the roof last night. Like, "Me and my partner are probably going to have to leave the country because our human rights are about to be taken from us". I was dumb enough to comment on it, and got lambasted by the rainbow coalition.Democrats worse Chicken Littles than people here after a Cowboys loss. Trump winning isn't a vote against women or colored people, it's more of an FU to the establishment. This can be good for women and colored people, too.
Absolutely. Not to be all dramatic, but this is as close to a revolution as we (the people currently alive) have ever seen in this country.When you get told year after year that you're a racist if you don't vote the right way, you hate women if you don't vote the right way, that the Hillary Clintons of the world represent the working class' interests... You say you're worried because your way of life is disappearing, and get told that you're just mad because minorities are gaining rights...
I still don't get Trump as the face of the backlash, but I get the backlash.
I'm sort of enjoying all the people freaking out. But I think it's just because there was so much Clinton hubris.This is such a weird feeling. I'm not happy or hopeful and the Republican party is fully in control. 15 years ago I would have peed my pants with excitment.
The only positive - maybe our country will move away from PC language and we can have plain conversations now.

That was just awkward.Trump's kid lurking behind him, Spaulding-style.
Cali also legalized weed.In other news, California's keeping the death penalty. Thank God. Now if we'd only use it once in a blue moon....Chargers not getting their stadium funding.
Just take comfort in the fact that it's not Hillary. Start there and work backwards.I never thought this was possible. What do I do now?
People who think gay marriage is going to be undone or that abortion is going to abolished are off their rocker. Things will be different under Trump and the Republican control but they aren't going to undo 50 years of social progress. The Republicans have a real chance to fix the economy here and I hope they don't drop the ball.A gay cousin of mine hit the roof last night.

This is my biggest hope. Let's start having open and honest conversations on how we fix some of this shit. And, let's start with the corrupt political system as a whole. #draintheswampThis is such a weird feeling.

Apparently, I'm an ignorant bigot for suggesting that this won't affect their lifestyles.People who think gay marriage is going to be undone or that abortion is going to abolished are off their rocker.

There are a lot of really sensitive Liberals who are ultra hurt today. They are ready to lash out at anyone that suggests this isn't the end of the world. It's crazy to me that someone has actually been able to convince a segment of the population gay marriage is going to end if the Republicans win. Some people really can be convinced of anything. Both parties in this election took advantage of the fears of the people, just different groups of people.Apparently, I'm an ignorant bigot for suggesting that this won't affect their lifestyles.
You bastard!Hey, Mike? Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike. Do you know what day it is? Trump DAY!!!!! Yeah!!!
Oh no, you don't understand. He wasn't just suggesting their just marriage was going to go away. He was suggesting that there would be a segment of the gay population that would actually lose their jobs. And, then when I said "Your people are not going to lose your jobs" all hell broke loose. Yeah, probably should have worded that a little different.There are a lot of really sensitive Liberals who are ultra hurt today.
