Trump elected president
Go and vote
You may think I’m jumping the gun. Nothing would please me more than the humiliation of being wrong.
My reaction to the three words in the title, in the order I read them:
Bad. Horrifying. Cataclysmic.
OK, serious question. What mechanisms are available to get us through the next 4-8 years shy of an actual armed uprising? Impeachment doesn’t seem likely given that the Republicans control both chambers of congress.
Shit.
Put this in the general election bucket; might be useful here too:
1-800-273-8255, if you need someone to talk to.
Funny. I wrote this to a friend via text earlier regarding who is to blame here.

Eh, not so much laughing as shaking our heads.
In seriousness, I did not see many people looking happy on the way home tonight.
