Goodbye.
Goodbye.
No words worth speaking anymore.

4. I'll say this.
It's been a long time here at DU since I've last felt like writing any words of courage, strength or sadness or even anger.
I'm not okay. None of us are.
But the truth is, I've nothing left to say. And I've reached the point where I'm certain there's no more that I will say.
Since Trump started, I've resigned myself to tempered observation. But now, there's nothing left to say.
To those I lifted, to those who liked me at all, I say that I'm thankful. But I've got no purpose left here. No dog in the fight.
And this pain of mine today, is deeper than politics. I am spiritually and mentally wounded.

5. I understand.
If you could just turn off politics and focus on the things that make you happy, perhaps it would help (I know, easier said than done).
Maybe you could post more about your Great Dane's high jinks? Dog knows, we all need something to smile about. My dog is my touchstone to all that is good and right in this world. And for some reason, she really likes my morning breath!

11. God do I ever understand..I feel like I'm "slippin' into darkness." Folks need to do
whatever brings any relief at all......I'm still looking.....I am googling websites like moving to New Zealand and listening to interviews with Carrie Fisher. Her voice calms me down. Good luck to you....

16. Please don't leave, neighbor.
I understand the frustration, the pain, the feeling of helplessness in the face of unbelievable
stupidity, meanness, and bigotry on the part of voters in this country who put us in the position
of Republicans about to be in control of all three branches of government. We're all feeling it.
We need your voice. We need your presence. We need to help each other out, now,
to get through this darkness. Please hang in there with us. Be quiet for awhile if it helps. Laugh and
enjoy your dogs. Get up early and watch the sunrise. Or peek outside when the sun is setting.
Go out and watch the moon rise. Learn a new joke every day and post it. Find a poem that speaks to you
and share it with us.
Please don't go silent.
We love you, retrowire.

Those would be some pretty boring interviews, with her being dead and all.
"Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, you're our only hope"
Played on an endless loop.
I keep seeing Trumpster posting his countdown memes on Facebook every day... "5 days to go", and every time it inflames a barrage of hate from the left.
He must be spending all his time reading those hate comments and laughing his ass off.
He really is one of the best trolls I've ever seen operate. the guy is a professional.

35. So this was your first time voting (as you yourself readily admitted many times).
It didn't go as you hoped.
Welcome to reality.
I used to joke to my friends that I shouldn't vote, because the candidate I chose always lost.
Until Carter and later, Clinton.
But this is not my first election letdown.
Pull up your big boy britches and keep on keepin on.
Die, scum. Go ahead and swallow all the pills today.

What a bunch of fuking infants.
Every last person here leading up to the election said the same thing if shill had won.
We would be concerned,we would make plans and we would all go on.
Every last damn person here.
We did it 8 years ago and again 4 years ago.
I have never in my life seen such a bunch of crybaby losers.

They have a lot more to lose than we do. Their ideology and politics (and party) are based on dishonesty, lies, illusions, trickery, hatefulness, secular ugliness, and just plain mental sickness. All their "achievements" (like "Obamacare") are built on these things - which means their hopes, hates, and stupid dreams are built on air. It can all be undone with little effort or resistance.
They don't have much to hold on to. Everything good and decent is a threat to everything they hold dear. We don't have those problems. And it drives them insane(r). And it always will.
