What's up with that ? No one is interested in that.
I feel like most of you guys like lurking more on the forum and talking about politix and crap than actually playing the game. And this was even before the big election thing.

I saw a dead bird on campus today
It made me pretty uncomfortable sitting on the bench near it. It was a red cardinal
I wonder why it died, and if marxism had something to do with it. I decided to sit inside instead and listen to some modest mouse.

I blame Abraham Lincoln
He screwed over the south's economy without granting them an alternative, devastated their homeland and subjugated them to the union. There's no coincidence that these people's descendants elected Trump today. They have been disenfranchised and alienated and economically subjugate since before 1860. We are paying for the sins of our fathers.

The union should've bought the slaves' freedom the same way Britain did.

It is very interesting that there has been nationwide protests, demonstrations, statements such as, "he is not my president." This also includes widespread news reports that people now want CA to secede from the United States.

I have never seen a reaction like this in my life. I was told by people on this forum that only the right would act out like this. However, it appears the left is taking this in a terrible way.

What can we do to help this people? Why are they acting this way?

Welcome to the beginnings of your second secession war. (Well, it's meant as a joke and I hope it doesn't come true, but who knows nowadays?)

Why are they acting this way? Because they have a special narrative in their minds. They have been convinced that Trump is worse than Hitler and they need to fight this. Luckily, it is only a vocal minority at the moment, so calm explainations and reactions could solve this dilemma.

Also they need to understand that this is how democracy works and that he, in every right and by law, is the elected president (not in office but soon). So there need to be many conversations to ease the situation and to de-escalate it.

ND, do you really have to ask that?

It is because (despite my post from Bernie which says a lot about why people voted for Trump) for the people who voted against Trump, they see him as a threat to their very way of life. To the people that they love (LGBT, Latino, Black, and Women) - those people who are today worried that Trump's election will result in more aggression on the streets (which they may already face every day), this is exactly what happened in the UK when Brexit was passed - people shouting 'we voted to get rid of you!' (even if some of those same people are the ones who didn't vote at all)

These scared people are looking for any alternative which will make them feel safe. And Trumps complete turn-about in his acceptance speech isn't enough. Because something something, polarized campaign? The Media... i'm pretty sure these blanks you can fill in.

You may not feel threatened by Trump's success. But then i doubt you fit into one of the categories which voted overwhelmingly against him. (80% of black males, for example... not as good as what Obama got, but hell they didn't have the option to vote for Obama again...)

"They have been convinced that Trump is worse than Hitler and they need to fight this. "

First of all, Trump acts like Hitler did, when he first came to power in 1933. Nobody thought he was evil back then, he just promised to make Germany Great again, not pay war reparations, rebuild the army, and blame the Jews.

Trump has only been seen blaming Muslims, not Jews...

Also, he doesn't need to be worse than Hitler to be very very bad for certain minorities.

"Nobody thought he was evil back then, he just promised to make Germany Great again, not pay war reparations, rebuild the army, and blame the Jews."

wrong. in 1925 he published mein kampf. READ IT. he S-P-E-L-L-E-D it out, that he wanted the jews dead and gone. a race of despicable humans.

anyone with half a brain knew what he wanted.

Trump's rhetoric against Islam, was saying keep them away from us, they're violent. keep mexicans away from us, they're rapists and criminals. If anything: I'm being too critical of Trump in that

Orathaic Your train of thought makes me sick We have a Congress for a reason Trump isn't cold calculating charismatic or politically talented like Hitler was ok? As long as Congress keeps a tight grasp on Trumps goddamn leash we will be fine. He insults minorities left and right I AM a minority I still support him full force. I don't want clinton I don't want trump I want conservative laws in place, I want change. The republicans have control of Congress and its damn time they use it when they have a conservative president as well. I laugh at Trumps speeches OK? They make zero logical sense and Congress would never pass any of them. Comparing him to Hitler is illogical, Hitler was a MONSTER Trump just has a big mouth. Its about time people like you learn what America's political system really is. We have checks and balances for a reason, Hell some Conservatives/Republicans hate Trump with all their might as well! Nothing bad will come of this, all that IS bad is that we have a shitty figurehead. Trump is a blabbering Baboon. THAT IS NOTHING compared to the sneakiness and cunning that is Mrs. Clinton. I would rather a retarded ape on a leash then a sly snake on the loose.

if he gets in there and nukes someone, installs pro life judges, gets rid of obamacare, and alienates minorities, women, hispanics, and deports 11 million people. well.. needless to say we will have a pretty weak country with very few people happy other than rich whites. So now trump needs to transition from getting votes to being an actual CEO of a country.

@"It's just really sad to me that Mr. Trump's name has been smeared by so many and that there is such hate for him" - ok first, there is all the things he said, and second, you feel pretty similar about Clinton, that is the cost of being up for election.

"Trump isn't cold calculating charismatic or politically talented like Hitler was ok?" - Did you hear him mention the wall today? or any of the other polarising policy things he talked about during the campaign? No, because he was talking to a different audience, and he tells them whatever they want to hear.

He's extremely cold and calculating, and he wouldn't have won if he didn't have some charisma.

Trump has followed a very similar trajectory to Hilter in 1933. We have yet to see what the next 4/8 years will bring. So i don't know if he is a monster, but that is what people fear.
