Election night, six months later

[Kingpoleon]

Three or so days before the election, I got very, very scared that Trump would win. So scared that on the Sunday before the election, I couldn't sleep. I remember sharing these feelings to a friend of mine, who reminded me that "This is the same country that elected Barack Obama twice. Trump's screwed." By the time Nov. 8 rolled around, though, that had passed and I was exuberant imaging a smashing victory that would send Trump back to his gilded tower with his tail between his legs, end Mike Pence's political career and have the deplorables weeping into their MAGA hats.

It was the worst night of my life, and for several hours I contemplated suicide.

I say this for your own good: Please stop paying attention to politics. Do you not understand the value of life? Do you really think Trump's victory has made life that much worse for many people?

To those of you reading this besides the person I quoted, most of you see a problem with this. Our media has brainwashed our nation. That anyone could contemplate suicide because The Other Party Won is awful. To those ideological, demagogical, horrible, horrible news networks I say: you have so demonized your opponents that when you lose your supporters contemplate suicide. In the name of humanity, I beg you to stop. You have shot no bodies with bullets. You have proven the pen mightier than the sword, words stronger than any punch. You don't shoot bodies with bullets - you brainwash minds. Let us suppose MAINEiac is the only one who contemplated suicide. Would you not even stop for one human life? I know the powers that be, the media I rant to in my mind will never read this, but it can be said that I did not speak out. Soon, that will change. Soon, your hate will be exposed.

This thread seems to be all about hatred for Trump voters and thoughts that we are all going to die.

I never said any of this when Obama won.

Obama didn't go on tape admitting to sexual assault or at the very least, thinking little of women.

At the end of the day, you decided those words were defensible and it's utterly shocking that anyone would be willing to defend what he said. You share those values as a result.

Do you now support all the words Hillary spoke ten or twenty or thirty years ago?

Not necessarily, but if an audio recording of her saying she sexually assaulted men or used derogatory terms to describe men came out, I would have voted for Johnson.

What about her blatant threat to the women Bill Clinton sexually assaulted?

"I think we're going to find some other things. And I think that when all of this is put into context, and we really look at the people involved here, look at their motivations and look at their backgrounds, look at their past behavior, some folks are going to have a lot to answer for." - Hillary Clinton

"It was a lapse, but she says to his credit he tried to break it off, tried to pull away, tried to manage someone who was clearly a 'narcissistic loony toon;' but it was beyond control." - Diane Blair

To vote for the Clintons because of Trump's alleged record on sexual assault is lunacy, plain and simple.

Accusing Hillary of enabling her husband's RAPE OF JUANITA BROADDRICK is one of the most sexist attacks I've seen on Clinton. Blaming a woman for the infidelity of her husband, smh.

So you don't believe Juanita Broaddrick about that part of the story?

"Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported." - Hillary Clinton

Sure, in the sense of receiving support and counseling. Not in court.

That's not what Hillary Clinton said. In fact the way you interpret it is kind of sick.

Not to mention the same thing happened to Huma with that pervert Anthony. These people are KNOWN perverts - it's not like Anthony's sickness wasn't well known. These are political marriages though, not real marriages.

Your second paragraph is wrong. You don't get to define what is a marriage and what isn't. We're all human - we all have flaws. I can't dismiss Trump's marriages as "mere trophy wives," nor Jared and Ivanka's marriage as a "business marriage, not a real marriage."
