2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis seems surreal right now
This is America, we're getting ready to have an election for POTUS. I'm almost 69, and cannot remember anything remotely like these times. It's scary. These people are crazy. How can they get away with acting like this, encouraging violence and riots?
Will it all go away when the election is over, or is it just beginning? I'd like to be talked down, but I don't think it's going to happen just based on the various threads/topics I see being posted. How can one man have brought us to this and what can be done about it?
A horror movie, except it's real.

(102,489 posts)Barely cracked the door (in truth to keep the dog from rushing out, but still...) to ask if he was representing the man whose name I would not "utter"... He assured me that "hell no" that HE was a real guy. LOL
I assured him that I would be RETURNING my vote for Hillary and a straight Dem ticket the very day it shows up in my mailbox so I wouldn't keep him. But, damn, I thought later... what if it had been a rabid Trump supporter... Uggh.

All the hate radio helped this happen.
I was a little worried until the really brave women came out, then the dressing room thing.
He finally crossed the line for most people, except for the really crazy ones.
