The DUmp reflects on their feelings of despair on November 8, 2016. I remember that night, as well. I watched what was happening. Saw the first few states go for Trump. Didn't think it could possibly last. Seriously wished that I could see what was happening on the DUmp. If anyone else would care to take a stroll down memory lane, here it is.
Good times . . .

Your feelings the night Trump was elected? A short reflection two years later.
When Gore and Kerry lost I felt disappointment, but not so much a sense of doom. When Trump was elected, I've never had a feeling like that tied to an election. It wasn't about losing a contest of ideas. It felt like America was driving in a car and an error was made and I'm in the backseat while the car is sliding off a bridge. I felt scared for the country. I knew we were getting a demented conman who could do anything in the name of self interest. A conman who tricked the Republican base into believing he was suddenly their champion.
Looking back, my feelings were correct. From his frighteningly petty twitter attacks on anyone and everyone, to his claim at the U.N. that he's the greatest... A guy that would actually try to say that the laughter was support... THAT IS A ****ING SCARY KIND OF CON ARTIST. A guy like this could get us all in deep shit and I just hope we're not all living in the woods in survival mode before his 4 years are up because he destabilized everything.
I never know what the hell kind of chaos this loose cannon is going to cause. Looking back, that feeling I had on election night was an omen. I know I wasn't the only one.

According to the posts made on Skin's island from 2001-2009, it was more than a sense of doom, it was hysteric driven, mindless panic. And you dolts became even more delusional over the years. This is why we laugh at you.

10. I had a bad feeling that day.
Went to the polls and there were huge crowds. I live in deep red Virginia. Not what I was expecting. I'd had an uneasy feeling since Comey reopened the crap about emails. Didn't watch the election returns. Started drinking around 5pm. Kathy and I watched a couple of movies we have on DVD and went to bed around 10. Woke up around 1 am and had to see what was going on. Checked on Huffington Post and saw the headline "Nightmare Scenario". Tried to go back to sleep, really couldn't for an hour or so. Got up at 6:30 and saw the results. First disbelief. Then depression. Had to goto work and sit in on a meeting that morning with a bunch of coworkers who could barely contain their glee that Hillary was defeated. Terrible day, but can't wake up from this nightmare.

19. Horror.
The next morning I began taking antidepressants. I'm still on them. And I live in Canada, FFS.

30. Sick to my stomach
I knew we’d be screwed. The economy would tank, which it hasn’t yet but I’m still afraid it will. I felt like we wouldn’t exist as a country much longer..... we’ll be lucky if we make it through his first term with the way he treats other countries. When Kavanaugh gets in and goes scorched earth we’re all screwed.
:lmao:

47. I was drunk. Hadn't been drunk in decades. Laying in bed crying and eating Tortilla chips.
Woke up the next morning with a huge hangover and thinking “I’m imagining this. This can’t be true”. Still say that to myself every damn day.
Lots of "drunk" posts. And they say Kav is a drunk.

53. I knew I had cancer, I couldn't swallow
and had just ruled out the only other thing I thought it could be. I was thinking about how I was going to be treated if my insurance got cancelled. I still wonder, but so far he hasnt affected me at all.

Threads like that should be used for training Dementors. :-)

Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression, oppressive misery
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all,
Gloom, despair, and agony on me!

Even if the OP isn't a mole they should get an award for starting that thread.
What a fun read!

Yet they are all better off or not affected at all. Except for upping their alcoholism and drug use! It's definitely a mental disorder.

I didn't wake up for a week because all of my blood had rushed to my schadenboner.

When St. Barak the Stutterer was crowned, I didn't like it but I went to work anyway hoping he wouldn't f*ck the country up too much. Well, he did. I did my part to help erase his legacy by voting for Trump. Best decision I ever made.

So many meltdowns that I ran out of iodine pills and the radiation suit had to be disposed.

Now if they would just get miserable enough to off themselves.... :-)

It was as good or better than waking up in 2000 when GWB beat the chads. Now, the filthy lying scum rats making up lies need to drop like the vermin they are. Drop like wasps with flaming WD-40 aimed at their orbit.
