Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

So this is what living in a post-factual world, where nothing matters, is like.

facts only matter for a minority of people who can think for themselves. Feelings are what drive humans.

It's apparent that a lot of people FEEL that mexicans are taking over the country EVEN THOUGH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS LESS THAN 1% and they're ALREADY segregated by economic class. But if they're told something often enough they will come to believe it.

I have never felt the urge to hit a child before but I want to punch Barron Trump in his ratty little face

this does feel pretty unreal, it's as if the laws of physics changed overnight. before you thought x,y,z are good and right and things are going in a particular direction, but now it seems like they aren't. a new world with its own logic.

To be fair though. Similar arguments can be made about the "establishment".

push out the jive... bring in the love

Good luck fellow Americans...I'm just hoping France and other european countries won't follow the same path of populism...

congratulations trump

well, now that you mention it: gravity might not exist at all. at least not in the classic way we thought we understood

There is an establishment though. I mean, it isn't totally corrupt or anything, but it's there. And it doesn't have the people's interest in mind really.

No one can be totally objective. But I think it's important to try to be as objective as you can. Most things have gray areas, of course. I think Hillary is corrupt, however I don't think she will throw America under the bus. Donald however... remains to be seen.

Democracy is broken and that's why hate filled demagoguery is in vogue. It's a symptom of how inter-mingled politics is with the financial industry which has gotten so big that it undermines democracy.

I think what I'm worried about the most is Global Warming. It'll be interesting to see how many more species Trump will be responsible for killing. I wonder if he'll keep his promise to get rid of the EPA... well he called it something totally different

TRUMP: Environmental Protection, what they do is a disgrace.ÿEvery week they come out with new regulations.

Q: Who's going to protect the environment?

TRUMP: We'll be fine with the environment. We can leave a little bit, but you can't destroy businesses.

I HOPE this will be a wake up call for America, and we will come out better for it in 4 years.

This will be a day long remembered. It remains to be seen if the NWO will retaliate.

Can you imagine what's happening to Donald trumps ego right now?

Orange is the new black.

trump walked off stage after speech to " you can't always get what you want "

the guys a living meme 

gonna go to sleep now.. half drunk. half not believing it. but really believing it.  hoping trump just chases domestic economy and does infrastructure as first priority.

Can't think of any objective reasons to call Hillary corrupt, tbh. I know it's not a popular thing to say, but all the stories I'm seeing are just different kinds of birther stories.

who else has dual citizenship here? lol

cherry on top

I never went for citizenship but I hold a green card. I've already left the states now so I might burn it tonight in a personal little protest ritual.

i'm ready for dictator trump. so glad i went out to the bars to get lit instead of watching the fuck-up that is the current world.

all hail the new world order. i really hope pence begins a trump youth movement to (you know) get ready for war.

We are approaching the dawn of a new renaissance - a new age of nationalism and human liberty. BUT only if Trump helps to bring the power back to state and local government.
