WHAT THE FUCK

You know what'll be great fun?  Trump tweeting about the nation's most confidential national security plans from the shitter at 3:30 in the morning--not that he even takes them seriously anyway.

President-elect Donald Trump is about to learn the nation's 'deep secrets'

Your singularity will come but you'll need to move to Berlin for it.

The way German politicians are way behind the curve on all things digital economy and innovation? Not likely!

Affirming his campaign pledge to appoint Supreme Court justices who oppose abortion, President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said that women would "have to go to another state" to get an abortion if the court were to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"Having to do with abortion, if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states," he said in his first post-election interview, on CBS' "60 Minutes."

"Yeah, but then some women won't be able to get an abortion?" Lesley Stahl asked.

Trump responded: "Yeah, well, they'll perhaps have to go, they'll have to go to another state."

I think that I understand the people hurt in the short term by free trade more than most people here (for one thing, I don't feel any need to demonize the people who are being hurt by free trade as racists), but I have to admit that the result of this election causes me to strongly question how seriously I've considered the problem.

I don't demonize people hurt by free trade as racists.  I demonize racists as racists.  Now, the political reality may be that economic problem exacerbate people's willingness to fall for racist rhetoric, and maybe that political reality has to be respected seriously, but that doesn't mean that those people themselves have to be respected.  Free trade or not, they're still bigots.

I think it's more about priorities.

People are faced with a choice:
- a candidate who is not racist but does not care about their jobs and
- a candidate who uses racist rhetoric but seems to care about their jobs.

That is also why people in the most white areas voted for Trump - it doesn't (necessarily) mean they agree with his racist rhetoric, it means it is not an issue for them and they just ignore it.

In any case, with rhetorics like that coming from the left, what we know about the TRUMP presidency is that it will go on for 8 years:

Hysterics.

[Martinus]

What I find really disturbing about the line of thought as presented in that article is that not only it doesn't try to downplay emotional hysterical reactions of some people, but then goes on to use such reactions as an objective evidence against whatever is causing them to have such a reaction.

"People on my Facebook reacted with hysterics to Trump's victory ergo Trump's victory is bad."

But that's what happens when you start to consider emotions as a valid basis for a public discourse.

Because Trump's campaign was not emotional or hysterical at all.

Are you fucking serious? That was the whole reasoning behind Trump's fact free campaign.

As for hysterics, 22 million people are going to lose their health insurance. Paul Ryan is gunning for Medicare. Tens of thousands will die because of this over the next four years.

Only an idiot would think Trump really cares about his job.  Trump cares about Trump.  End of story.

You linked a loonie site, as is your wont.

It is a loony site, but it's a loony ideology.  And now that ideology informs the Whitehouse.
