There are a few people on my life I'm not sure how they voted and I don't want to know because theyou are so important to me.

Yeah, I was actually pretty upset to find out that some relatives had voted for him. They are die-hard republicans, but were totally against him over the summer! It's depressing.

I think that part disgusts me the most. I know some that had properly called him a completely unacceptable candidate and they loved XYZ Republican, then turned around and voted for him anyway. Nothing about that vote is an excuse for me. I can't look at them the same way.

I'm leaving my work next week (on Tuesday), and my going away shindig was today because reasons.

My coworkers wrote to me the following greeting:

"Dear Shir,

Lots and lots of good luck! You are terrific, it's clear that

"

Yes, it ended there. And yes, though it was an honest human error, it speaks volumes (my job was to jump into data and libtech issues that had to do with several products/sides and understand what the hell was going on).

While I can understand all the reasons someone might have voted for him, I don't care. It's partly my own issues at play; I've literally spent my life making excuses for people who have done damage to me, and I'm sick of it. Trump voters (and 3rd-party voters and vote abstainers, to a lesser degree) have done horrible damage to my country and my people, and I'm not making or accepting any excuses for their stupid dangerous choice.

Their excuses come down to "I was scared" or "I was fooled" or "I didn't know" or "I was angry about Obama" or "I just hated Clinton". Cry me a river, baby. You fucked us up.

My therapist and I talked about exactly that this morning. And other stuff. Fucking gaslighting that reminds me of my childhood, for one.

I don't want to be tinfoil hatty, but this whole thing of attacking the media and immediately calling for a investigation into voter fraud seems like exactly the sort of thing to do to work towards subverting the next election.

It's not tinfoil hatty, Lawrence Douglas agrees with you:

Not loving Trump's threats to send troops into areas that defy him. I wonder if that would be considered an illegal order. I wonder if the US will survive him as a political entity. Trump's election has definitely highlighted some serious socio-political divides.

Aside from being offensive and crazy, it also makes no sense. What "Feds" is he talking about? Elliot Ness?

Totally Elliot Ness.

Here's what's wrong with Obamacare: preventive care is free but you have to pay for diagnostic (at least on my insurance), so I'm thinking I won't go to the doctor about this vague lightheaded/swimmy feeling I've been having off and on for a while, because I don't want to pay for the bloodwork! But you know what, just thinking about it to type this makes me realize I think it's actually just very minor vertigo. So that's good. No doctor for me.

Those magical Feds who interfere with the daily life of God-fearing Republicans. Logistics and bureaucracy are going to baffle him.
