A CLUSTERFUCK OF RANDOMNESS.

If you're posting things within the lines of: "Don't be sad, we can get through the election even if your party won/lost." "It's okay, America will make it through the dark times." "We needed this dramatic change in America, it's for the better!" Then you really don't understand the severity of what just happened. Today we elected someone who has no political experience into (one of) the most powerful positions in the world. This person has expressed on multiple occasions dangerous ideals against women, POC, and LGBTQ+ and now has the power and the people backing him (Republican majority Senate and House) to go forward with these ideas. People posting and expressing their disbelief and despair about Trump aren't just mad that their party or candidate lost. They're afraid that they'll no longer be able to live their lives normally as they were able to yesterday. They're afraid that their family will be sent away for wanting to lead a better life, for wanting a better life for their family members; because they don't want them to experience what they've been through. They're afraid for anyone who had any disadvantage in life because of how they were born, but dared to excel, and now will have everything taken away from them. The election was never about just wanting "your team" to win. It was about being able to live without fear and discrimination. About being able embrace yourself and still have the same basic living rights as the next person. Don't turn this election into a simple competition, because it's always been much more than that. And it's about time that everyone started to realize that much.
