I'm going to put this here, and we'll see how it goes.
If this thread gets terminally stupid, we may take a brief and deserved holiday from politics in D&D for a bit.

Please tell me I'm mistaken and that isn't the west wing theme
I'm afraid now. And I'm worried that in being so, I've achieved some sort of horrifying kinship with what I despise.
I'm a gay
I have to leave. I can't stay here.

I'm gay and my boyfriend is brown AND gay.
I don't want to lose him.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
I'm trying to sleep but that's not going to happen.
God help us all. I hope there is something like sanity that can be preserved.
Is he coming down? He's being coherent. What the hell is this Trump?

The problem is that only the US has the ability to project power to keep things stable. Which means if Trump follows through on his plans to withdraw from treaty obligations, or appears he will consider that, nations with the economic power and technical know how to develop nuclear weapons will. And they'll be completely rational to do so. South Korea first, I would imagine.
An unstable earth right now is seriously bad for humanity.
Jesus, America. You're supposed to be better than this.
We aren't.
We offered them health care and improved infrastructure and access to education. Many rejected that in favor of the chance to kick around brown people. What could we have offered them instead when they apparently really, really wanted to kick around brown people?
Only hope left is that there exists some vestigal shred of morality in elected republicans and they don't let trump do truly insane shit like backing out of NATO or nuking Guam.

I wouldn't have seriously considered it before
But now
Now I don't know
That is the terrifying part. For the second one, he doesn't need *anyone's* permission.
Yeah if there's anything this election has taught me it's that the America I thought we were doesn't exist.
Yeah, but he's still Trump.

I think it's more likely that more nations are going to start turning to China for protection and succor.
The last thread got closed before I could reply, but the premise of "you can help white folk while helping minorities" is derailed when the white folk you are helping resent you for helping the minorities at the same time.
American Exceptionalism really meant white power
People worry about their wallet first and foremost.
Right or wrong, people must've thought Trump would be better for jobs and the economy.
The ACA, gay marriage, financial regulations, antidiscrimination regulations, improved relations with the ME, it's all gone.

They played chicken with the country and by the time anyone realized what they had done it was too late to move us out of the way of the train
Well congratulations dipshits! I hear President-Elect Trump (oh god that makes me want to vomit) has a plan to make sure your precious estate only says what he says is okay
I'm legitimately worried that being openly publicly political on FB and Twitter is going to fuck me down the road. Especially with the direct mocking of Trump I did. Regret for it isn't the right word, I regret nothing, but it is causing me to seriously consider leaving before the purges start. Because if I wait to see if that happens at all I might be too late.
