Even better, Canada's not for the idea for the "move to Canada" thing going on.

I wonder how long it will take for people to attempt swimming across the Detroit river to move to Canada

Speak cold logic and common sense while assuaging their fears. Point out that most fears are overblown and that trying to do something like undo gay rights would be political suicide. Won't always work but it's what I did.

Just tell them that Trump is one of those politicians that's all "yap" during elections, but once he's in the chair he does nothing. We've had a million type of presidents like that before, and it wasn't the end of the world. And because congress and the Amendment and general American culture would never turn the USA into something like the lovechild of North Korea and Cuba.

It makes you seem rational and not come off as a racist pro-Trump lover (bc in their minds anyone who's calm about this is pro-Trump).

Repeat "everything is going to be okay" a lot. Let them know that you support them and will be there for them if they need you. Gently remind them of checks and balances in the US government when they're feeling sensible enough to understand it.

Oddly enough telling my friends about the night I spent with you guys in the stream and on this site, experiencing your jubilation, and conversing in the election thread with disappointed Hillary supporters and elated Trump supporters alike seemed to help. I think people are afraid of division. They're afraid of Trump supporters because they think Trump supporters hate them. Letting them know that we don't need or want to be at each other's throats, that we're all human, might have eased some tension.

Just showing empathy for their situation. and not tongue lashing them on how they could've prevented this.

Will keep all of this in mind. Probably better to do the comforting once things calm down a little. Hopefully someone else will find these posts helpful, too.

I give it a couple days, a week at most.

The election has taught me a lot about compassion. Truth be told, a lot of the people crying about Trump are horrible people that would've mocked the other side had Hillary won, but I wanted to reach out to my #NeverTrump friends and never wanted to mock them. If I was a jerk, I would've laughed and posted something like this:

my brother got harassed for begrudgingly voting for Trump. So I'm pretty livid at the people "crying rn"

Man, class today was really exhausting. We spent two thirds of the class discussing the election rather than the material we were supposed to cover.

People talked about how they were crying over Trump, how much of an evil person he was, , ect. It was funny for a while, but then it just got annoying.

It got to the point where we were talking about the death penalty, and how one lady wanted to send people on the death penalty out to war with our soldiers.

Politics make people insane.

As a member of the military, FUCK THAT. I'd rather have someone fresh out of basic training than someone who might murder me in my sleep. BTW, the death rate of people in Afghanistan for THE PAST 13 YEARS is less than the number of Latino men that died from upper respiratory infections last year.

I'd have sympathy if they were actually DOING SOMETHING.

Instead they're whining on twitter and having cry-ins. And they wonder why their side lost?

It's true. Although in those days, so was the Klan.

Yes, gay Americans, burn the flag. That will fix everything.

Yeah, Mike Pence is a raging homophobe, but it's not like he can do dick about it. And even if he did, just look at how he backed off on the religious freedom bill when he was governor of Indiana; give him enough pressure and he'll crack like a cuck.

Say what you will about Stephen Crowder, but this is the real reason Trump won:

Also: TYT possibly losing their goddamn minds last night.
