You know to be quite honest America has been in crises for the last 10+ years. Why does everyone think that politicians are the forgers of society? They are not. Either they fight society and end up losing power or they conform with society. Society puts them in office. If a political election triggers anyone for all the BS that is going on now then I really suggest that everyone read Saul Alinsky's book, rules for Radicals. This country is not a socialist country. This country is not a democracy either, it is a republic. Obamacare literally fucked me but I didn't complain. I will just pay the 700 dollar a year fine. It is actually 200 dollars+ cheaper than I would pay per month. I can't quality for subsidies. I tried. I checked it out. If I die, I die. If I can't afford treatments then fuck it. I believe in reincarnation thank god so I will choose to face my fate. I didn't choose it though. I want to live but I just can't afford to live with outrageous insurance policy prices.
This was an election and not the end of the world. Not the end of society. I mean gay marriage being a right was passed while the supreme court still had 9 justices. 5 Republicans and 4 democrats. 5 is a larger number than 4 and would not have passed accept for republican support. Hell Kelly Ayotte was one of our biggest supporters for LGBT rights. She didn't play politics. Politics is complicated but society is not. They have a whole science dedicated to society called sociology. Once ideas are cast in society and the collective mind then that momentum better be heeded by the political class or they will get booted out of power. Black Lives Matter? Why not all lives, even those blacks and whites and Hispanics and Orientals killed by gang violence? How is an Illegal Immigrant not breaking the laws of the land. They key word is illegal. Hell I come from a family of Immigrants from Ireland and England. I am not Native American. If they want a better and safer life then request asylum. The drug cartels in Mexico are bad enough that people fear for their lives. I have absolutely no problems with legal immigrants no matter where they are from but do it legally. If you get a Visa then work on your citizenship. If you need asylum then we are a country that is generous and respects life. But most of us respect the law too. But don't fear for your life and then come here and join a gang. Don't come here and break the rules. Personally I think we should provide asylum to those that live south of our border because of the brutality of the drug cartels. There are sights that you can go on and see how brutal the cartels are to women and children. A 17 year old girl getting beheaded because she had to work in a drug house and ended up using? Really? Fucking Cowards would only behead someone.
Personally I want a strong country that if I go overseas I can walk down their streets with confidence because I am American and have rights to be me. I don't want to live in a whimpy ass country that will let other people's beliefs decide my fate. I want them to say she is American and we better not fuck with her. If I go to the middle east then I will respect their customs but I demand they respect my rights. If to drink Scotch then that is my right. I am an adult and I am not Muslim. I am Irish and more importantly American. so I should put up with foot washing when they can't put up with me having a freakin' drink? That is my heritage because I have one hell of a recipe to make my own handed down from 3 generations dating back to the Whiskey Rebellion after the Revolutionary war. So why should I respect anyone else's beliefs in my country, which I don't mind because experiencing different cultures is a learning experience, when and if I go to their country they refuse to respect mine? With that said people are different and mutual respect should be honored.
Hillary lost and Trump won. Obama won two terms and McCain lost and then Romney lost. No one went out rioting and destroying property, public and private.
Hell I am trans and I have a penis and boyfriend so I too could be labeled gay even by some. I voted Trump because I am so sick of seeing people that are gay hanged from cranes in strict Islamic Nations. Yes I do know some people from Saudi Arabia that are gay or trans and have to be so hush hush about it. Where is the UN when it comes to human rights? I can be gay if I want. I can be a woman if I want. I may not be able to use a public restroom even though I do and anyone else can too if they are dressed. I have seen trans women in the men's room and trans women in the women's room. No one complained. Now depending on if you are a trans woman dressed as male but claiming trans status or vice versa then there will be a problem. Schools are different because we may just then be finding our way. that is why we need a separate restroom. I have known one person that claimed to be trans back in the day that ended up being straight. I have known multiple people that claimed to be gay and lesbian but turned out to be straight too. OMG in most states in the US there is an outdated law prohibiting sodomy. Holy shit. LOL but who actually enforces that law? No one. So if a guy loves a guy then why should that guy be executed? If a woman loves a woman and I a lot of beliefs that are polygamists then you can bet your ass that the "wives" have a little fun on their own without "the husband".
Just human nature where lesbians are so sexy and gays are not. I mean every man want's to see a woman in sexy lingerie but women and men laugh and joke if a guy wears bikini bottoms or a speedo and so on. I do not want to see another massacre like the Pulse Nightclub just from some small minded brainwashed idiot that thinks homosexuality is an abomination. I want to feel safe the next time I go out dressed or not with my boyfriend to a club. Trans, gay, straight or whatever. I don't want to be run down while watching fireworks on the Fourth of July in my country. I don't want to be targeted if I travel abroad and don't want to be killed if I go to the Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving.
Politicians do not decide which direction society goes. People do that regardless of political views. Society will dictate how society thinks. there are as many Democrats that hate LGBTs that kiss our asses to get our votes. I live in the Deep South and Democrats have ruled down here for so long. the Democratic party is not our friend and the Republican party is not our friend. Politics in general is not anyone's friends other than how good they can kiss ass.
OK for everyone that is so traumatized because their preferred candidate that kissed ass so well, well you want traumatized? Then pic up a friend's brains after shooting himself in the head just because he was overweight, getting a chapter 11 and his Dad told him not to come home because he was a disgrace. Trying to get as much of what was left and shooing the small fish away. That is traumatic. Then having to drive the body 200 miles away in a refrigerated truck and then having the temp casket opened up again just to have a qualified doctor to pronounce him dead. he shot himself at 6 in the morning but the death certificate stated he died at 7 PM. I will never forget the smell of a wet suede leather jacket, salt water and the coppery smell of blood. Not to mention the smell of feces and piss. Death is not pretty. Death literally stinks. We were friends. The three of us that transported him were friends too. We had some weird talks for the first hundred miles and weirder talks the next 150 miles to the actual morgue. They know my secrets and I know theirs. They knew about me because life is way too short we all decided. I know about them too. One was actually gay and the other? I won't even say anything about. How's that for a traumatic experience? Hell after that an election lose or win isn't shit.
I would suggest everyone to stop listening to the political pundits. I would suggest that it has only been a little over a week and give Trump a year or so to see what happens. The world is not ending. The sky is not falling. Life as we know it isn't over. Society is not collapsing. Just wait and see. Then if you are not happy then there is another election for Pres in 4 years. Another elction for Reps in 2. Then decide. Then go vote.
In my forty+ years I have seen a lot. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump. I am still here even though I didn;t like Nixon or Ford even though I was small. Reagan, my dad made a decent living. Clinton I made a decent living. Bush I made a decent living. Obama made my lifing wages go down. So I am not political but I do tend to listen to what their ideas are more then their ideologies.
I mean really though. If you cry and are so depressed because of an election and feel you have to destroy other people's property then you really need to move to either a socialst country or communist country which has a dictatroship. This country was almost this this time. So we had Bush for 4 years, Clinton for 8 years. Another Bush for 8 years and Obama for 8 years. Possibly another Clinton for at least 4 years. The US is not a Monarchy where certain families rule. Jeb turned everyone off because most of us were sick of Bush's. Yes Log Cabin Republican here even though I am way more Libertarian. Hillary has too many scandals ranging from her time from being wife of the Governer of Arkansas to FLOTUS to being a Senator to being Secratary of State. Whitewater, Vince Foster, Mena Airstrip and the list goes on. I find her calling Paula Jones a Trailer Park whore when my mom lived in a trailer park. I find her calling Genifer Flowers white trash offensive when I myself was considered white trash. Monica Lewinsky? OMFG she was every name in the book, even when Bill's DNA came up on the dress. I mean we have all been young and dumb and had stars in our eyes. Why if Hillary is so for women she trashed all these women? Why did she stay with Bill? I wouldn't. Hillary was not ugly back then. She was a lawyer and could have found another professional man. I can forgive once. Twice then you have to beg but three times ? This bitch is gone. She had Nov 8,2016 on her mind. Actually 2008 but she lost that one and got a hefty position out of it anyway.
So I say to everyone that is soooooooo distraught over this election to keep in mind that elections have consequences. Obama even said that. Screw the people then you will get booted. when Obama got elected I knew my oilfield trucks would suffer. that is why I moved them. I am not a billionaire so I can't purchase a railroad like Warren Buffet purchased the majority shares of BNSF. If I could then my trains would be pulling oiltankers across the country and from Canada south. From someone in the oilfield and having to deal with all the fucking regulations of safety BS, BP was a joke. They are cheap and I never put BP gas or fuel in any of my vehicles. Hell I said so to a BP rep and can't even go on, or my trucks and drivers either, BP property. If someone else hires us to go on a BP load then they have no choice. We get treated like shit but we always tell the dispatcher on the dock or in the trailer or wherever to "Fuck Off". Same with Halliburton. I mean I have to wear a hardhat in the summer where temps are 90+ and humidity stays 90+ but they don't have to worry about fucked up BOP valves and so on. The government let them drill that deep and didn't do their job of regulations. But OMFG if I show up on a job without a hard hat and safety goggle and gloves, not to mention steel toed boots and long pants. BP worried more aobut how people dressed than they did abpout the environment and the government sanctiond and allowed them to. What is wrong with that picture. I had a friend that died from heat stroke because of PPE and being forced to get his truck out of the way ASAP. He collapsed between the seats of his truck. No one on the dock working ofr the oil company gave a damn until they really needed the spot where his truck was parked. Down here we have a heat index and a lot of times during the summer that reaches 110. In the sun you can add another 15 degrees to it. With a hard hat then you can add even more. I mean a hard plastic hat on your head in the sun when the heat idex is 110 + another 15? I have actually added the temp with a themometer and without the index and the temp at 95 degrees my head was facing 138 degrees in the sun.. But safety is a concern though right? Who's safey? The shareholder's dividends or the individual's actual physical safety? But OSHA says this is OK. I mean someone dies from heat stroke just from being scared of the company and the idiots on the dock that sit in the AC. BTW because I have actually had to go find my own load then walk back with all the PPE and then walk back with the asswipe to confirm it and they went back and sat in the AC while I had to supervise loading and so on. Where is the fucking safety since tohe government wants to regulate safety for truckdrivers so much. But we and eeryone of us get abused because the government and the DOT are a bunch of dumb assholes. I mean 12 and 12 on logbooks would make sense but they went from 10 on and 8 off to 14 on and 10 off. You can now drive 11 hours as long as the total hours doesn't reach 14. Whay not 12 and 12. 12 hours working and driving and a minimum of 12 off? Why? Because the government is full of idiots.
But it isn't the end of the world. It is not the end of society and our momentum. They will either adapt ofr get voted out. this is how it works. An election should not be a crises. It is a process. If it bothers someone so much then they should move to a dictatorship, socialist country or communist country. Maybe even a Monarchy where the same family stays in charge.
I mean I really can't believe how many people this election is supposedly effecting. I mean I can;t elieve that so many people are rioting over it. Really? I don;t want to hang from a crane. I don't want to be throw off of a building. I want legal immigration instead of jumping a fence or swimming acroos a river or wading most of the time. I don't want to go out thinking I may going to have a good time and my family morning my death and standing over my casket three days later.
Yes I know I may sound like an asshole but really I am not.
Just human nature where lesbians are so sexy and gays are not. I mean every man want's to see a woman in sexy lingerie but women and men laugh and joke if a guy wears bikini bottoms or a speedo and so on. I do not want to see another massacre like the Pulse Nightclub just from some small minded brainwashed idiot that thinks homosexuality is an abomination.

I don't want to be targeted if I travel abroad and don't want to be killed if I go to the Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving.
