ive been going through a really deep phase of depression the past few weeks, worse than normal. when it was only down to a few states last night and we realized trump would be president, i just... idk, i'm not sad anymore. i just stopped feeling. i didn't get up to go to my classes today. i feel like smth inside me snapped and stopped working.
me too. I'm horrified, scared beyond belief, extremely depressed. I can't even imagine what others are going through right now, people who aren't medicated or have it worse than me.
Hang in there, hon. Just remember this is only a temporary feeling. It is hard to see that when you are in the thick of it, I know. You can message me if you ever need to. Take care. You got this. We all got this. You are not alone. <3
:( I've really given up, i'm wearing slightly dirty sweatpants to school and have no make up on. I can't stop crying. Idk how i'm gonna make it to class.
Can we organize a legitimate overthrow of our government if it gets really bad this presidency? Like... a fascist bigot in the White House, and then Republican control in the House and Senate? Where's the check and balance system to that?
No, you can't organize to overthrow the government. You can organize to elect better candidates starting from local elections, though. The Republicans managed to organize and pass many things at the state level while Obama was President; the Democrats should be able to do the same.
same, it's comforting to be around people who are as shook about this as I am. I tried to explain to My mom why I''m so stressed and she doesn't get it.
I fucking agree. People are being way too dramatic. I understand that the results of the election are devastating, but people saying they can't stop crying or leave their house is ridiculous.
I don't agree. The right has pushed a hateful rhetoric and contempt for Hillary since the 90s that DEFINITELY influenced the public's opinion about her. And for that reason, I think if it was a different woman running she would have fared better.
I know. I'd bought a few of her pins off her site with the intention of handing them down to my possible future daughters and granddaughters, so excited to show them that I'd voted for the first female president, that female presidents were a reality in the US and they could become one too some day.
But now history is putting a big black mark over Hilary and her campaign. All the textbooks will talk about is the chaos and destruction wrought by Drumpf.
today is such a dark day. i had an interview an hour ago and i almost wanted to reshedule because i'm just so disgusted like stomach is in knots. i didn't think it would affect me this much... but then again, i thought this win would be easy for hillary. smfh

I need to be in a bubble right now because everything else with comments is making me feel angry and hopeless.
people just dont like women in power. hillary is never liked more than when she's humiliated and down and out. ask urself for a second why that is

Rich, white, racist, ableist, misogynist males win again.
We elected a black president and nobody would think that would happen.
