2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't think I am going to survive the weekend
I have been on the road all day & have not seen any news. On the radio though I was treated to many Hillary Clinton ads and I think I only heard one for Trump.
When I got home I checked CNN & MSNBC and my heart sank. I just don't know what to believe anymore. If I make it through this weekend, it will be a small miracle.

I am dumbfounded at the number of posts complaining about the idiots in the media at other hours - they've always sucked IMO.

(8,197 posts)So fucking disheartened.
What. The. Fuck. Is wrong with this country???
It's really fucking depressing to think of how racist, sexist and just plain stupid a large percentage of the population is.
No matter what happens, that's apparently just a sad fact of life.

(24,396 posts)The Rs nominated him. They are a minority party with a minority of the voters. To win, Trump needs to turn Ds. Minorities, women. Not happening.

(8,197 posts)Because what I am seeing right now is that racism, bigotry, hate and division isn't just alive and well in this country. It's thriving- and spreading by minute.
The support for him makes me sick

(22,976 posts)I'm usually a "nigh-normal" at 110/82, give or take. Checked it this morning, and...yikes! Doc has me doubling meds now. It's all the media noise, and the very real prospect that we're heading straight into fascism on a fast train. There have been so many negative "firsts" with this election, I've lost count.
Hang in there! I can't drink, but Rx cannabis is my "home defense."
