fightforfreedom (274 posts)Be honest, how many of you knew we were doomed the moment Trump was elected.I did, I started putting more money in my savings account the day after he was elected. I absolutely knew a Trump presidency could not work. That was the bottom line. I knew it would end in some type of catastrophic event, economic disaster, war, something. I did not see the attempted coup coming. I did not see covid coming when Trump was elected. But I did know it would not work, it was obvious.This has been a long, exhausting road.

Star Member Delphinus (9,464 posts) 3. Immediately.When I woke up that morning and heard, I just wanted to go die. I cried for days.
Ferryboat (595 posts) 7. When I pulled over on the way to work to throw up.Woke the wife up with my swearing. At work all the customers everyone had that look of shock. Pretty much confirmed what I felt.
Star Member peggysue2 (8,485 posts) 8. Hand raised!I knew the night of the election results--an illegitimate, ignorant, immoral pig had been thrust into office.What could go wrong?Everything.
Star Member luvs2sing (1,938 posts) 10. I knew we had turned a corner as a country..and were facing evil unlike anything we had faced before. Nothing that has happened since has shocked or surprised me.
Star Member KT2000 (20,157 posts) 11. I recall my brothertelling me - the worst we feared was going to happen is going to happen. It's like watching a movie now.I knew when Ted Kennedy died, the liberal cause, the heart of America, died too.
Star Member hamsterjill (13,080 posts) 14. I most definitely knew.I knew he didn’t win fairly either. Can I prove it? No, so like Hillary, I shut up about it and suffered for four long, terrifying years.I do not relish a repeat.
Star Member UTUSN (62,365 posts) 16. "elected"? - Almost all of us knew before that. Perhaps we didn't think he would be elected,but knew at least what an a** he was/is. The escalator day was appropriately horrible, but until the election we dared to not believe he would actually win. Neither did he, for that matter.But like with Shrub, but even worse, we knew he would be very bad but could not even imagine how *BAD* he would be. Worse than Shrub because he put democracy itself under assault.As for him as a detestable specimen, I destested him from years back. I sampled about a season of The Apprentice because when people are talking up a "thing," I need to sample it to see what it's all about and arrive at my own take on it. Like with the KARDASHIANs, I gave them two seasons and this many years later it's incredible that they are in the tabloids every danged day, with just a change of clothes or lack thereof, birthdays, vacations, whatever. I don't look at those items.But with Drumpf, I took the detestation to my petty lengths: Whenever I'd go to the clothes big box store, just the SIGHT of his band on shirts and ties would get me *OUT* of "his" aisle and into any other one.When he came down that escalator it became a very different kind of *HATE*. And Election night was a near cardiac event. But absolute dread took over for the next five years and it ain't over.
Star Member Hekate (73,771 posts) 19. I saw his American Carnage speech at the RNC, & Nicolle Wallace & Steve Schmidt's convo after...They were sitting in the darkened ballroom or whatever it was, balloons and streamers lying about them, NBC cameras rolling as they gave their impressions. They were beyond stunned. Steve choked up when he talked about the Constitution.I already knew what Trump was. The GOP had every opportunity to stop him before it got that far. So his election, and the weeks that followed — I just kept thinking how fast the takeover was, and why didn't someone stop him.I don’t know about doomed. We managed to get Joe Biden in — and as I’ve said before, he’s not the Messiah, he’s a respite so we can get our act together.We need to get our act together.That said, from the time Trump came in I started keeping my car’s tank full. I set aside a little cash every month, and keep it in a safe but convenient place in the house. I believe my passport still has some years on it, and I know which border is closest — I could get to Mexico on a half-tank I believe. My husband favors Canada, but that would take days, and you know what? Mexico has an international airport. ——- That is how badly Trump and his Trumpistas rattled me.We need to get our act together.
Star Member CousinIT (6,833 posts) 22. I absolutely knew it. One of the most HIDEOUS days of my life.Maybe THE most hideous.
Star Member Meowmee (2,677 posts) 24. I knew it as soon as that ****ingPsycho fascist was allowed to run for office while inciting violence and no one did a thing.
Star Member Aristus (57,833 posts) 26. I was so physically sick from the outcome of Election 2016, I had to take the next day off work.In 2020, I booked Election Week off, just in case the worst happened.
Star Member panader0 (23,699 posts) 27. I knew that we were in for a shit show.But I never thought we were "doomed". If we had been doomed, would we still be alive?I've followed your posts and like what I read, but there are so many here who say we are doomedby a number of different things. Roe vs Ware cancelled?--We're doomed. Voting rights restricted,we're doomed, slow prosecutions, we're doomed.Too much doom here sometimes. So things won't be easy--try harder. Sometimes you have to gouphill, downshift and do it.
Star Member Hekate (73,771 posts) 32. So far no one's mentioned the Great DU Hack. At first I thought DU was just having heavy traffic...…even tho our very experienced Admins had prepared for it. I was alone watching the returns — and I mean alone.
czarjak (5,644 posts) 34. I can't believe still we lasted four years without a nuke launch. One silver lining.
shrike3 (1,055 posts) 41. I remember telling a Trump voter, "Do you have any idea what you've done?"I was laughed at. For quite a while. Then most people stopped laughing.
Star Member CTyankee (59,892 posts) 42. I was in shock. I literally did not know what we were going to do as a country.I had gone to bed election night thinking HRC had won. In the middle of the night I got up to see how many more electoral votes she had collected overall. Then I saw the words "President-elect Trump." I don't know how I got through those next hours...
Star Member Paladin (24,715 posts) 45. I underestimated how stupid and evil he is.I won't make that mistake again.
Star Member dmr (27,799 posts) 47. The same as you, BUT ...I was sick at heart when Hillary didn't win, and we were stuck with an ignorant buffoon. My son tried calming my fears by saying Congress would hold his feet to the fire.I could not have imagined that the near-entire of the GOP would acquiesce to this evil liar. He was enabled by them, and he got away with so very much.How one man could have such a stranglehold on thousands of people; some of whom are very fearful of him. It challenges everything I've always believed!It makes me sick -- literally.
Star Member Emile (1,300 posts) 50. I knew this guy was a con man since the 1980's.What surprised me was how many didn't know that. People sent him to Washington to shake things up and boy did he and not for the good.
DET (134 posts) 51. Still Can't Believe ItMy first thought was that Trump had rigged the election. My second thought was that this was going to be a disaster. My third thought was that the legislative branch would save us from the worst of his excesses. Only the second was true, although I couldn’t possibly have imagined how bad things would get. And I never thought that Republican legislators could be so amoral and craven and the American public so stupid.
February 3, 20222:03 PM PSTLast Updated 4 hours agoBiden approval rating drops to a new low of 41%, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
I'm guessing this was the catalyst that triggered this latest hate Trump fest...https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-approval-rating-drops-new-low-41-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2022-02-03/
DUmmies, please list all the things Trump did that were so bad you felt doomed. Do not include "Orange Man Bad".
Work for the welfare check? Expose the Clinton crime family?
You know what would be good for them over there? All the positive things that biden has done during his time in office...trumps been out long enough to not really be current events
