Quote:If this is a serious article is it a picture of how much fear people have of a man. A flesh and blood person who has done nothing yet other than open his mouth and say reckless things that may or may not have been said just to get a rise out of people to get the vote. And the press ran away with it and vilified him more than the actual person people should be worried about. The woman who allowed classified information to possibly be seen by all the wrong people. National security issues. Homeland security issues. Who knows what other issues. We don't know the degree to which her stupidity and lies will affect this nation yet people are freaking out over a known egotist who says whatever he can to get attention.It's not entirely unsurprising. Disappointing, sure, but not a surprise. The left had so thoroughly brainwashed its followers into thinking that Trump wants to commit ethnic cleansing while nuking Mexico and grabbing teenage girls in the crotch that many, many people couldn't help but see him as some kind of Hitler figure. The far right (not like JIB far right, like, David Duke far right) has been thrust into the spotlight in a way it hasn't been in decades, primarily due to the far left spending the last 12 months telling us all that Donald Trump is some kind of Khan Noonien Singh, just not nearly as smart and not nearly as cool.
Who is the bigger threat?
How the hell did we get to the place where Trump was considered the better POTUS and his now former opponent is a criminal?
Quote:It got a lot harder to book a shrink in NYC after Trump’s win
President-elect Donald Trump is driving New Yorkers crazy.
Anxiety is so high in the Big Apple following Trump’s astonishing presidential win that patients are rushing to their therapists to book emergency therapy sessions.

Although the mental image of Hillary screaming "TRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP" into a cell phone so loud that it echoes through space is amusing.
It's not even a millennial snowflake thing. I know a lesbian couple in their 50's who are straight-up terrified of what's going to happen to the rights they've slowly gained over the last 20 years. One of my oldest friends is a doctor in family practice in a low-income area. I don't know if they perform abortions and I don't intend to ask, because I'm sure that's not something they would really want to go into anyway, but they're openly afraid that they'll have to wear a bulletproof vest to work, like their coworkers did 20 years ago. And, yeah, there are the millions of jilted Bernie Sanders supporters who are now even more [BAD WORD REMOVED] about his being forced out of the race. True story: if it had been Sanders vs. Trump, Sanders would have won. People like him. He knows how to organize a campaign. His supporters know this and have been shoving everyone's nose in it on Facebook for the last 36 hours.
So, yeah, it's not surprising that people want help processing everything that's going on. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but it's pretty much the liberal media's fault (who are you and what have you done with TJ?). They made Trump out to be the love child of Hitler and Mel Gibson thinking that he'd pass on and become a punchline, mentioned in the same breath as Dukakis and Mondale, and then he won somehow, and now we have the large subset of Americans that eat out of Don Lemon's hand rioting, protesting, crying into their cereal and, yep, looking for a shrink. Never mind that his competitor was everything you pointed out and possibly responsible for a few hits over the years, too.
Sometimes I just want to walk up to one of the Clinton crybabies and remind them that it's ok, everything's gonna be ok. Ten years ago, Trump was a better Democrat than Hillary ever was.
Quote:Michael Savage believes liberalism is a mental disorder.
This would support that.
It did not used to be this way.
There's been a lot of hyberbole and overstatment in demonizing the other side of the aisle (from both sides, but clearly moreso from the extreme left as this mental breakdown phenomenon does not happen to the right when the left wins.)
The extreme left has been turned into something that resembles a religious cult. They live and breathe their party's "values" and crusade against eliminating the thoughts and ideas that oppose them. Not all, just the extremists (not everyone is rioting in the streets and overbooking their shrinks.) It's an unholy war against anyone who doesn't assimilate to the D.
Quote:The majority of them needed shrinks well before Trump..
Quote:This is exactly why I have a hard time understanding their distress.

Quote:I had an LBGT friend of mine ask that all his Facebook friends who voted for Trump unfriend him.That is such a perfect and really scary way to describe it. Dang that's freaky. I guess I've thought the same thing but never quite in those words. Somehow we have cultivated a sector of society that remind me of the kids in Pink Floyd's video for Brick in the Wall. The group of people who used to be seen as anti-establishment are now trying to build their own.
No way, I consider him my friend even if he's so distraught. My vote doesn't mean I don't support him and his lifestyle like he thinks.
I've got other LGBT friends and family and none of them acted that way. Some of them even voted the way I did for Trump.
I think people actually believe in government more than they do their fellow citizens, family, and friends. It's a completely skewed and dangerous worldview.
Quote:Just what is that supposed to mean?
Quote:That compared to David Duke, you are a liberal sissy.
Quote:Edited to add: I have had several friends just straight up unfriend me and they are all very liberal. I never posted anything on Facebook that was offensive politically leading up to the election. Unless people were offended that I am Libertarian which many of my very conservative friends take issue with but we're still friends on FB and in life. I thought it to be a sad thing indeed.I've lost several Facebook friends over this, all Hillary supporters. It seems that the following topics are off limits:

Quote:I've lost several Facebook friends over this, all Hillary supporters. It seems that the following topics are off limits:
1. The world is not ending.
2. Trump is not evil incarnate.
3. Third party votes are not "thrown away" or "closet Trump votes"...seriously, I've seen people post that anyone who voted for a third party in this election was secretly a Trump supporter without enough balls to actually vote for him.
4. The electoral college exists for a reason, and your candidate losing the election is not cause to amend it out of existence.
5. Pay for your own damn college.
