Kentuck starts off a thread with one of the most boring posts he's ever made?  Not even worth shoving it into the boat?  Not sure what the point was?  But others hopped on board?

His headline?

19. When California's electoral votes went to Hillary, and they still weren't enough to overcome

Trump's electoral lead (I kept thinking: "But she's killing it in the popular vote! She's killing it in the popular vote!), I fell into a kind of trance, rocking back and forth like a scared kid.

I barely slept that night. The next day, I didn't last longer than an hour at work, and told my boss I was going home for the rest of the day. I went home to Mrs. Aristus, who had the day off anyway, and we held each other for hours in a kind of stupefied daze...

21. I went to bed in disbelief. I woke up

ad before I got out of bed, I asked my husband in the room next to our bedroom, "is it still true?".

He said yes. We were wrecked. We could barely talk to each other for about 5 days it was so devastating.

But the best was:

14. The Day After

I have a selfie in my white shirt with my “I Voted” sticker that was taken on election day. The next day I fell from the roof. I woke up about a month later, and it wasn’t until around Christmas that I figured out Trump had won. I literally woke up to a new world. I have no memory of November-December 2016. Recovered from the smashed hip, broken face and TBI, but experiencing depression for the first time in my life. Don’t know why I posted, I guess the date rang a bell.

Trump caused me to fall off the roof and have a coma!

I remember that night well.

I don't do television, and so I was "watching" the returns on the New York Times web-site.

In case one doesn't remember, this was when conservativecave was having loading "issues," and it took too much time and trouble to try to read this site.  (Our good friend miskie took care of it about a day and a half later.)

The numbers looked better than I thought they should, but still not enough to beat Messalina Agrippina.

About the time Michigan was coming in, with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin still out, it was late, I was tired, and so decided to hit the sack, figuring that Messalina Agrippina had won anyway.

But just before shutting down, I thought I'd check to see how freerepublic was taking the loss.

Much to my startlement, they were celebrating, not mourning.

It was obvious the New York Times was playing mind-games with readers, posting Messalina Agrippina's numbers as they were tallied, and waiting an abominably long time to post any of Trump's numbers; also calling states for her immediately, but waiting a very long time before declaring a state for Trump.

9. That is the most difficult thing to try and understand...

...the alternate reality - a different dimension. How could they rationalize in such a way? Even if their stories never matched reality or simple facts, they could find a way to rationalize in their own minds to make it acceptable and "truthful". Not only was it delusional, it was deceitful delusion. They deceived themselves.
Who are they?  What the hell is this shitgibbon babbling about?

For 2 whole days, I layed in the corner drooling & making weird sounds

When I awoke very early Wednesday morning, I remember making coffee and sitting down with a cup at the computer machine....then, everything turned bright white, then completely black. I felt a dull thud, and heard a sound like a pumpkin smashing against a side of beef.

Every few hours, I would drift back into lucidity, just long enough to realize I was laying in the corner of the living room with spittle running down my cheek and into a large puddle at my chin. and I could hear a weird voice off in the distance. I later realized it was my own voice, but I didn't hear words, only groans and occasional burps.

One time when I blurred back into almost consciousness, I saw my dear wife, Mrs. Paul, over at the edge of the room, but she looked like she was 20 miles away, and I remember that the sensation of time passing had vanished, and I seemed to be locked in a ripple between time and space.

I got the vague blurred impression that I was curled up in the fetal position, and I could see a dust bunny in the corner in great detail, but I knew that dust bunnies didn't talk, as this one did. It kept echoing a phrase or mantra that I couldn't quite make out...'mandate'...'exit polls'....'massive turnout'...'4 more beers, 4 more beers'.....then the silence of the grave.

Then, I began to regret that I hadn't just died, and I felt hot as hell, but shivering like a naked man in antarctica, sweating and trembling violently. I remember dear Mrs. Paul applying a wet towel to my forehead and saying sweet comforting things to me, and I remember she looked like an angel, wings and all. for a while, it looked like I might pull through.

But then, the fever dreams began, and I descended into hell, headfirst. I saw all the souls of all the disenfranchised voters in a lake of burning sulpher and I heard their terrible lamentations, and I remember wishing that I'd never been born with ears, or eyes to see their awful suffering.

Deeper, and deeper I fell into the stygian abyss, and I saw off in the distance what looked like a fiery throne, and it came into view and I could not close my offended eyes or rip them out and I saw the beast of stolen elections in all his bloody glory and I grew sore afraid.

'O Democratic God of justice, why hast thou forsaken me?' I wailed.
'Why must I look upon this horror of the ages with my mortal eyes?'

But I heard no reply to my plea, and no relief for my suffering soul, and I had no cool drink of salvation to quench my damned tongue, and no succor from my candidate.

After this I felt only blackness, cold and empty, where no shadows ever lived because no light had ever shone there. My eyes were open, as I later discovered, but I layed there like a dead man for the last hours of thursday night, stinking, burping, and generally bringing shame to my entire family.

Slowly, I began to recover from my affliction, my eyes cleared and my head too, but it still felt like spiders had built webs in there.
I found the strength to make a pot of joe, and lurched back over to the computer machine. I stared at it for about two hours, motionless, finally grabbing the mouse and braced myself and faced the music. I started to comfort myself, and forget the awful ordeal I'd just been through and the portentous visions I'd had.

And now, I'm gradually regaining my strength and composure, I've showered, put on clean clothes and burned the old ones, and apologized to my wife and my neighbors in the apt. above me.

That's my story, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been down this same road of despair and redemption, and in that, I find solace and strength. Two days lost forever. Two whole days of my life taken, never to be redeemed. Two days of hell, to steel me on my quest for a satisfying election night. Someday, my prince, or princess will come

Surely you remember the MoPaul primitive, madam.

It's speculated he later became the phallus scraping primitive, Phalloraptor, but there was nothing certain about it.  At any rate, both are long gone.

In his time, MoPaul's rage and hate was extraordinary; today, the same intensity of his feeling barely causes a ripple.

I was so sure that Hillary was going to win that I planned to make it an early night. I was going to avoid DU because of how I knew they would gloat. TMN had made one of his most hateful ever posts earlier that day, and that's saying a lot, about how he was going to treat Trump voters and all "GOPPERS" after Hillary's win.

I had Fox News on to watch the returns, and they had Nomiki Somebody on. I always called her "Screechy Voice Girl." She was predicting a "great night." Returns started coming in. Trump won some unexpected states. They asked her if she was still looking forward to a great night, and she confidently said that she still was. At some point she was gone, and I don't think I've seen her on TV since. I suspect that the guys with the butterfly nets had to come and take her away in a straitjacket.

More returns came in. Trump was doing better than I had expected. I tried (repeatedly) to get into DU to see how they were taking it. No luck, alas.

More returns came in. Trump was winning battleground states. Some weren't even close.

At that point there was no way I was going to go to bed til the very end. I started to watch the NYT ticker. The needle ticked steadily to the right. My jaw dropped. When it hit about 92% that Trump would win, I woke my dh to tell him. He seemed to wake up enough to acknowledge.

I hit the hay after I saw Trump's family lined up to celebrate the win. I think I saw Podesta tell the devastated mob that it wasn't over. Dh got up early, and turned on the TV and saw that Trump had won. He later said he didn't believe it. He thought they were joking.

When I woke up much later and turned on Fox and Friends, Doocy was relating a story about one of the demonstrators asking a cop where his KKK hood was, and the cop telling the kid, ". . . and that's why Trump won." I think that explains it all.

I remember mopaul/philosoraptor, but I didn't remember this particular post. How did his rage and hate compare to TMN's. Any chance they could be the same "person?"

I'm not sure how to explain it any better than this, but it seems to me the impotent anger and hate and rage of MoPaul had some pain in it, that he himself was being hurt, while hypertensive ol' Bob's impotent anger and hate and rage is just foul words tossed out of the mouth of a robot, no humanity in them at all.

I'm probably not the best one to ask--franksolich would probably be your best bet since he's pretty much the universally recognized resident expert on primitive culture here, but I'll take a quick stab at it. 

A primitive is an inhabitant of Skin's Island.  That's where the primitives go to form up around bonfires, flip flapping their armpits and gesticulating excitedly while they regale and try to outdo one another with stories of their commitment to leftist principles.  That's it in a nutshell, but follow franksolich if you want to get some deeper insights.

Dozed off on the couch about 11 pm CT with the TV on.  Woke up about 1:30 am much to my delight.  Had similar concern before drifting off...that her majesty was going to receive her lifetime achievement award.  Stayed awake long enough to hear President-elect Trump's acceptance speech before getting in a few more hours of sleep before work.

I told her that the fact that Trump was ahead at that time was unbeatable, as there were four counties in the Central Time Zone that hadn't reported--and they were significantly Republican.  I thought to myself, "He's actually going to win this thing!"

The next morning, as I was rejoicing, our daughter ran downstairs and asked, "Did we win?"  With a smile about as wide as the Atlantic Ocean, I said, "Yes, we did!"  She was very happy.

I remember the one DUmmy sharing the hilarious story about how she was so certain Hillary would win, she invited a bunch of her friends over for an election- night party and bought champagne for it, then as the returns came in, she grew increasingly depressed and finally shut herself in her room and sulked.
For my own memories of that great night:
I remember staying up as late as I could, checking the returns results regularly over Google as I don't have much a tolerance for televised news in general. It wasn't long, though, as I'm a morning person, not a night owl, so I quickly fell asleep. A few hours later, when I woke up, it was confirmed that Trump would be the next president. I remember having very mixed feelings about that, both because at the time I was not a big fan of Trump (His rude, often- insulting manner got to me, though I still voted for him over Hillary and he has since proven to be a quite capable president and earned my approval) and because I knew the Left would NOT respond well or even peacefully to it. Now, though, I see it for the great evening it was.
Thanks Ralph!!!!

The problem with that is, DU WASN'T hacked. As Election night went on and it became more and more clear that Trump would win, Skins realized that if he kept the site up, the enraged DUmmies would put up one thread after another openly demanding Trump's assassination and/ or a violent insurrection to keep him out of the White House, and was afraid that might earn him a visit from the Secret Service. So, he took down the site long enough for the DUmmies to cool down a bit, but made it appear that it had been hacked so they wouldn't get suspicious.

Given the intensity of the events, I disremember.

DU Jr. was shut down for months and months and months. 

Skins's island was taken down the afternoon of election day, before votes were counted.  How long did it take before it was un-"hacked"?

It was awhile--maybe as long as a week, or more. They did posts by e-mail, or something, for awhile, some of which were sheer comedy gold.

Here is one of my favorite e-mail posts from the time DU was down. If you recall, the DUmmies were allowed to vent their distress, and somehow, it was available to be seen, maybe just by members. Don't know, however, here it is, for your enjoyment:

Response by Left of Cool

As a grandmother I am very concerned about the safety of my grand daughter. Just this morning, I sent an email to Speaker Paul Ryan, and Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to question their agendas. I asked if within the first 100 days of the new Trump presidency, if they and the House would be putting forth legislation to legalize sexual assault? I told Speaker Ryan as well as both of my Senators that if this is on the agenda, I would need to move my grand daughter to a safer country where sexual assault is rare and severely punished when it does happen.

We are all aware that Donald Trump appears to condone this behavior and if this is on their agenda as part of his mandate, we as fathers, mothers, grand parents and concerned citizens need to rethink the protection of our young ladies. I love and adore my 13 year old grand daughter will all of my heart and I am begging you to write to your own Congressmen and Senators with this same proposed question.

The next morning, as I was rejoicing, our daughter ran downstairs and asked, "Did we win?"  With a smile about as wide as the Atlantic Ocean, I said, "Yes, we did!"  She was very happy.

You've obviously raised a very smart daughter. Quite an accomplishment nowadays with the other influences.

This is the kind of DU thread that makes me go back and relive the night -- there are some realtime ones  full13 hours (FF of course).

Dang, the Schadenfreude is almost as good as the first time!!!

That night will always be remembered fondly.  I was prepared for an early evening but flipped over to news around 8:30 CST.  It wasn't looking as bad as the predictions so I kept watching.  The wife went to bed about 9:30, I woke her up when it was obvious Trump won.  She couldn't believe it.  The only downside was that the DUmp and DU Jr was down.

I would need to move my grand daughter to a safer country where sexual assault is rare and severely punished when it does happen.

That would rule out most of the world, and especially Europe, where muslim hordes have invaded.  It is a serious problem, and they will not prosecute.

Given the intensity of the events, I disremember.

DU Jr. was shut down for months and months and months. 

Skins's island was taken down the afternoon of election day, before votes were counted.  How long did it take before it was un-"hacked"?

If DU was active the day and day after the 2016 Election, it would of been an epic meltdown on a scale that no one has ever seen.

The hacking claim is just an excuse.

Response by Left of Cool

As a grandmother I am very concerned about the safety of my grand daughter. Just this morning, I sent an email to Speaker Paul Ryan, and Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to question their agendas. I asked if within the first 100 days of the new Trump presidency, if they and the House would be putting forth legislation to legalize sexual assault? I told Speaker Ryan as well as both of my Senators that if this is on the agenda, I would need to move my grand daughter to a safer country where sexual assault is rare and severely punished when it does happen.

We are all aware that Donald Trump appears to condone this behavior and if this is on their agenda as part of his mandate, we as fathers, mothers, grand parents and concerned citizens need to rethink the protection of our young ladies. I love and adore my 13 year old grand daughter will all of my heart and I am begging you to write to your own Congressmen and Senators with this same proposed question.
The same woman probably voted for Bill Clinton to be president. Twice.

Still to this day I'll go to YouTube when I feel a little down and watch the videos of the libs as the realization hits that they've LOST.   :rotf:

It always makes me feel better.  Always.  One of my favorite clips is of the Madcow saying "No, you have not died and gone to hell ..."

Thanks for the pictures.  I rewatch election night on youtube quite often.   The young Turks reaction is probably the best.  He freaks right out. '

It was a funeral, a funeral for their hopes of staying in power forever and ever.

I dunno where they get this idea they're "entitled" to be in power into eternity, but they do.

And then when we're the "outs" and they're the "ins," they'll think that way again, that this time, they're now there forever.

We hope either they move out of the United States or slash their wrists, the most-common two things they always promise to do, but never do.

I’d prefer mass suicide, too.
