I know. I seriously everyone in this thread thus far for understanding how painful this is.

Yup. I'm happy that there are others on PS who understand. I am all for being optimistic, and I will continue to hope (but without much merit, I fear) that Trump won't actually be able to accomplish all the horrible things he talked about in his campaign, and that the 4 years will go by without too many horrific incidents. However, this type of sh*t is just disturbing beyond words. THIS is why I cried after the election, not because I was "disappointed" that my candidate lost, and not because I am a "sore loser". I cried because THIS is our reality. There is a freaking white supremacist serving in the POTUS administration. I just....can't. But HUGS to you for understanding....we need to stick together.

Uh, well, they wanted CHANGE, and this is definitely different from the last eight years? That's my best guess. Either that or a) people aren't looking at the news, b) people think this is "liberal elite news media lies," c) people are way racist/anti-semitic.
The Jews I know are basically all sharing stories of how they're only here today because their grandparents/great-grandparents fled Germany/Austria/Poland/wherever in the 30s.
eta, or I guess d) people don't realize how much damage this can do. I actually think it's D. People think that because everything has been trucking along pretty well and we've only been experiencing economic pains, that freedom and liberty for all will persist no matter what kind of people you put in positions of power. Sadly, that's not always true. I hope it will be the case but I honestly wouldn't even bet any money on it.
katharath|1479102825|4098089 said:I think realistically that it's probably D. It's just incredible to go from Obama to...this. I want to be hopeful but it's hard to justify that feeling when you consider all of the evidence at hand. I feel like it's more important to be watchful rather than hopeful at this point.

I 100% stick by my previous note that racism won.

But to be honest I do not know who this guy is?
Is there a safe site (we had to trash our last computer because it picked up a bad virus) I can go to to read more about him?
ruby59|1479143188|4098227 said:up. Funny, isn't it? "I'm not a Trump supporter, but..." doesn't work for me at this point (or ever).

Why are you so hostile?
