I feel "dirty"...anyone else?

[Anonymous]

I have been feeling kind of sick, nauseous and anxious since the Trump win, and can not quite pinpoint why- he is bad but I did not help him. It's not my fault.
Although I would never ever ever had wished it, I am in the camp that this is actually "short pain for long term gain", since the GOP would have ensured a totally failed Clinton presidency and further increased their control over state and local legislatures. I am worried but not desperate or hopeless about the possibility of redemption...yet...

I know this rationally, but I can't help shake this feeling of "dirtiness" and nausea from me. Anyhow else feels the same?
I am not even sure this is the right forum...

Me too, to some extent. I feel sort of like a veil has been lifted and I'm exposed to a lot of hatred and anger that I didn't know existed in my super diverse and inclusive DC bubble (e.g., reading about the hate crimes since the election, when watching a video clip of the alt-right Spencer speech at Maggiano's, reading comments from racist/xenophobic/sexist Trump supporters).

For example, one guy posted a hateful comment on a news article on FB--when I went to his page, I saw a picture of him wearing a t-shirt that said something like "I wish Hillary Clinton had married O.J. Simpson."

Yes, this sort of thing does make me feel a little dirty/ill.

I feel like this is the beginning of the end of this great country. Right there with you.

And the Reps fiddle gleefully, happy that they "won."

If you really are feeling dirty, DCUM has an explicit section of the forum for that.

Interesting. All I keep reading are hateful and ugly rantings by liberals. Both here on DCUM and on FB. It goes on and on and on... not to mention the fake reports of "hate crimes" that are later disproved or admittedly fabricated, outright lies like a "Muslim registry," and the throwing around of terms like "racist and xenophobic" to describe people who simply want illegal immigration to stop.

So yes, I'm feeling queasy and "dirty" as well.

I hear ya pp and I agree, but I don't feel the least bit queasy or dirty.

I feel queasy just by reading about this:

I am sorry but liberals only have themselves to blame for nominating one of the most flawed candidates we could have found. She got the nomination because she played the gender card and millions of women were intent on having a woman in the Oval office.

They overlooked her glaring deficiencies or made excuses for her. She got the nomination with a stacked deck and the DNC with DWS doing everything possible to sabotage Sanders. Unbelievable stupidity. To make matters worse she was a lousy campaigner.

So every time you look at Trump and wish it had been someone else, make sure that you recognize that we did this to ourselves.

We have a President who will always put our country first. No matter your race, color, or creed.

Unlike his opponent, he didn't approve executing mentally retarded black men, or the crime bill. He didbn't call black people Super Predators. He opposed the Iraq War. He knew that Isis was not the JV team.

Please examine why that makes you feel bad.

Yet she received the same percentage of the vote from women as Obama did. Guess it didn't help her playing that card.

Stop it. Everything you said is a lie.
He assaulted women, he stiffed people working for him, he defrauded Trump U students, he mocked a disabled person, he disrespected a Gold Star family, he invited Russian meddling into our election, and he is lining his pockets with questionable money as we speak. You should feel terrible, and the fact that you don't tells us exactly the kind of person you are. An asshole. Bet you go to church too.

Even as they wait for the nuclear bomb to hit, Trumpsters will still say "but at least it wasn't Hillary launching it."

lol.. I think more like he will put himself first. Everyone else comes second, no matter your race, color or creed.
