who knew that angry white rednecks had more power than the rest of the country?

Not greater power, Chrys, but maybe more will to use what they had.

Your left wing liberals became the very true extremists and racists they claimed they're fighting and the Conservatives came back in full force. If you want anyone to blame look to the far left

Way ahead of you on that.

Thinking strictly pragmatically and realistically, what can be done to hold things together until 2020 rolls around and the country gets a chance to correct this? Panic and anger are understandable, but it's not going to solve any problems. We do need to calm down, be adults, and figure out a workable way to manage this.

Get the actual concession over with as quickly as possible. Get Bill and Hillary off of the stage for quite a while, if not for good. Start getting ready to try to minimize damage.

Is there any? All the power is now in the GOPs hands, and a logical prediction is that all the stuff they tried to have rescinded will be now that there's not a Presidential Veto standing in the way. We're pretty much stuck in "lay back and think of England" territory now.

MSNBC gettin' ugly.

[somacula]

im glad im not the only one and you speak the whole truth

Careful there, they might call you racist and misogynist, and still won't change the fact that trump won

[Schrecken]

MSNBC gettin' ugly.

Any on-camera suicides yet?

[Ite]

I am still in shock. Utter shock.

[rogersmcfeely]

when the president is someone who puts his fingers in his ears when someone tries to argue with him i don't think there's a way to work with this

A way must be found. The results today were utterly devastating, but for that very reason, it's more important than ever to not cave.

thats fine im not those things by the way. Trump is not a racist in my opinion the liberal media just said that because they wanted hillary to win and now there crying boo hoo

No, but it got a little heated there for a minute.

[somacula]

Way ahead of you on that.

If anything I don't see republican undoing many social progress reforms that Democrats implemented... If they wanna stay on power they gotta govern for everyone

[somacula]

Any on-camera suicides yet?

Colorado just legalised euthanasia...

[Paradox]

You're dead wrong, there, somacula. They'll take this as tacit approval of all the BS they pulled during Obama's terms. Their supporters do NOT want them to govern for everyone, just straight white Christian males (preferably rich ones, like they hope to be one day and never will because their own party roadblocks them).

I doubt they wait a week before doing away with the ACA.
