Silver Linings (self.EnoughTrumpSpam)

almar89 が 投稿

Well everyone, this sucks, but it's not the end. In an effort to make work more bearable I figured I'd make a thread about any silver linings we see. Maybe we can all come together and try to brighten each others' days a bit.

I've seen the millennial vote map going around that shows a landslide victory for Hillary, this gives me hope for the future, and as someone who supported Sanders in the primary I also honestly believe that this might be the kick in the teeth the Democrats needed in order to embrace a little more progressive agenda and better candidates.

Anyway, what are your thoughts everyone? Lets be civil and let each other vent here. I know we all need to.

The progressive agenda is nearly irrevocably harmed due to Trump's victory. It's going to be delayed by decades.

Electing a better candidate next time doesn't change who this terrible President gets to put into the Supreme Court now.

Let it out. I'm glad I have you guys to vent with. Seriously if I hadn't found ETS I would have never made it through the election.

I am going to start with the scary part:

Starting in January, the Republicans will control all three branches of the government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

They can basically do whatever the fuck they want for 2 years.

Silver Linings:

No more political TV ads for a while

Our press is about to find out just how bad it can get when you don't do your job

When things fall apart, it will be Trump's fault

No ads will be nice. I'm also going to take a social media break and just focus on things that I enjoy and things that can improve my life. Video games with my friends, the NBA, working out, actually keeping my god damn apartment clean, etc. etc. I think if I can create stronger healthy habits for myself it'll really help get through this garbage.

Well, one thing to consider is that Cheeto is a lying sack of shit that doesn't really follow any of the precepts of the party that nominated him other than the trickle down crap.

So, aside from Pence taking the reigns somehow, we're not going to have to deal with the Evangelical worldview. The SCOTUS, though. Fuuuu.

Also, we're going to have a FLOTUS that posed nude. This isn't much of a silver lining, but it's definitely interesting.

I don't think the GOP is going to fare well in the midterms.

Annnnnd... we won't have to concern ourselves with political dynasties ever again. Trump broke that one pretty good. No Bushes, no Clintons.

Hopefully now that the crazies feel they have their lebensraum, they'll fuck up bigly and we'll see a shit-ton of double-dealing and law-breaking that will end several careers. That's assuming there's still some semblance of the rule of law.

And, of course, there's the big course correction coming. Hopefully in time for my retirement. Millennials, I'm looking at you.

Upvoted because I agree with everything, but mostly because you used lebensraum. Hello fellow WW2 history fan!

There are no silver linings.

Dems are in the wilderness with no power.

We're as fucked as we can be.
