How are you guys feeling tonight?

[kicks]

Well regardless of the outcome, it is re-confirming (what many of you all have said on here) that white people are shady as hell. I have 2 good white friends and I think that's about all I have room for right now. Maybe that's wrong of me to feel, but that's how I'm feeling on a personal level.

[sfy]

I'm feeling mighty low.

Also, there is a meeting scheduled with my team tomorrow. I do not want to go. At all. I want to hibernate for several weeks.

[persa]

I feel sick

[lovelyshoes]

Sad doesn't even begin to cover it. The map as they show it on nbc, all lit up in red is sickening.

[sfy]

The two people who feels worse than all of us tonight? HRC, for the all the obvious reasons, and my President. They're going to shred everything he built .

[meshaliuknits]

What the fuck y'all. What. The. Fuck.

[andwhat]

This is why you shouldn't leave the TV on while sleep. I can't believe I rolled over to see this. I think I mentally prepared more than anyone for this, but the last few days I didn't think it was going to happen.

All of this. DD fell asleep watching election coverage, and I don't know how to tell her that Trump is going to be the president. I'm so sad.

[DesertMoon]

I'm feeling dead inside...I don't even want to talk about it.

You guys have all my love though, I'm so so sorry. The strate of my home country is making me ill, and what will happen and be unleashed on all the POC makes me shiver.

[bugandbibs]

I tried to prepare myself, but I'm a mess. Never have I been more scared for my family. We don't have the resources to survive what's coming.

[starlily]

I'm watching the bastard's speech and I'm crying and feel like I'm going to throw up.

Most people I work with likely voted Trump. People I considered friends voted for Trump. They're all dead to me as far as I'm concerned.

A friend of mine from high school posted about her 8yo asking if they'd have to leave the country. That was the moment all the tears building up in me finally fell.

My 5yo asked me today if I voted for HRC "because she's a girl." And I said no, and explained why in terms a kid could understand, including the fact that Trump lies and is mean to people. How do I explain this to her in the morning?

I'm renewing my passport and getting the girls theirs in the next 2-3 weeks.

Just, fuck everything man.

[redwino]

I'm disappointed and numb. I'm not going into work tomorrow and will spend the day with baby girl cuddling. I'm scared for what will come and want to give her happy days while we can. I'm not surprised but the reality of it all is so depressing.

[wesleycrusher4ever]

I think the term white lash is so appropriate. I'm being induced next week, and I'm feeling guilty for bringing a brown child into a world that will already hate her because of her skin. I'm just really really sad.

I deleted all the social media apps from my phone, I need a break.

And plus also those exit polls have me mad as hell at white women. 😡

[Black Lavender]

I just don't know what to do or what to say to my girls when they wake up.

Van Jones calling this a white lash was so fuck ing on point

I shared the video on FB this morning. I cried. Then cried some more. How did this happen?

[skwcm80]

I just cradled my son and cried. I'm more scared than normal to send them out into the world.

66% of whites women voted for Trump? I guess I had a little more naïveté left because I'm shocked that the number is as high as it is.

[sfy]

I was hoping for a miracle during the shortest and worst sleep of my life. I feel so beat down .

[sfy]

I can't stop crying. I feel so much hatred right now.

[kicks]

I don't want to go to work, I wish I could call in black. I got a couple hours of sleep in between crying. I'm going to be late though and I give no fucks.

The poor Obamas too.

[orangeblossom]

I just woke up to the news. I am sickened. I woke up a few times during the night and could Havel poked at my phone, but decided to wait til morning. Almost, wished I had looked.

Anyway, I am saddened beyond words. I feel like as a country we just wrote our way to WWIII with his volatile temper.

As a POC in a primarily Trump county, I think this will embolden the racists and sexists people like no other. I worry for DH who with people at work, thinking they can be even more openly racists and insubordinate to him.

It's almost unbelievable how many white people couldn't see past his lies, but then you remember despite what people say, deep down, they'd rather vote for a person with no real plan or filter, than a POC or a woman.

[kicks]

There was a black author and I think she said she writes for empire on local npr this morning. She told it like it is and so true. You know how npr tries to stay neutral and pc. She said don't blame this on black people not coming out to vote because white women voted for trump in droves and called his supporters racist. The host asked her politely to not say they are racist and she was like no, I call it like it is, they are racist. I was like yes! If trump can call it like it is and people don't want us to be politically correct anymore, then that's the truth, they're racist and xenophobic

[thejackpot]

I am shaking and crying. I can't believe it. My we are so unimportant, our children deserve so much more then this. I wish I could go away but that is not reality. My soul is broken. We go from the Obamas to wtf. Hope to horror. I need help coping with this.

[kicks]

Nurse in the elevator exclaimed that she was excited about the results. I gave her the death stare.

[oliviapope]

I just got told to stop bagging on white people because I'm half white.


Pretty sure that makes me the perfect person to bag on them.

Bitch.

[andwhat]

My cousin was FB friends with the photographer that had taken pics of her friend's kid and she thought of using him, but she didn't know him personally other than commenting on her friend's photos saying they were cute. She expressed her sadness and frustration and he jumped in telling her to move and get out if she didn't like the result. I mean out of no where. She never mentioned that she was going to move or anything. This guy does not know her. She lit into his ass. Of course he unfriended her before she could tag him and call out his racist behavior, but she took screen shots and posted it on FB telling people to beware of using his services.

My brother and SIL are trying to have a baby. She is terrified now at the thought of bringing a child into this presidency.

I had a friend try to say that this is how he felt in 2008 when the Dems took everything and he survived (white guy) and I had to politely explain to him how this was different. And then I deactivated FB.

I have never been sad about the outcome of an election even when it wasn't the person I would have hoped for. I am legit sad.

This is what we have unleashed.

[salejolie]

There are just no words. We have been up and down about whether to stay for a few years longer here and buy a house, but I can't. I think I'm going to throw up.

[DesertMoon]

I woke up and I suddenly remembered what happened and I moaned so loud my husband literally woke up and jumped on me and said im so sorry I'm so sorry he won. That just made it real and made my heart hurt. People are stupid simple mother fuckers and I hope he gives all his fuckin supporters what they deserve.

They are going to erase Obama

[sunshine608]

I'm struggling in so many areas. I want to go through and de-friend a "bunch" of people of FB, but then I look and they appear to be just as sad and upset as I am and I'm mostly confident they didn't vote for him. I really just want to disengage from certain groups.

This might be flameful or it might be offensive to some but- All these God in control posts are kind of annoying me. I consider myself a Christian but those posts kinda of just irritate me. Wasn't he in control during Slavery and the Holocaust and all this other genocide and horrible things that have happened. I don't know, I guess I wish I could find comfort in that but right now I can't.

[thejackpot]

@natariru, I can't stop crying either. I just want to eat all the junk food and disappear. The tv is off and I doubt I will turn it on in a long time---besides my specific shows. I don't want to see the reality.

I am so thankful for this space. When people fail to understand why I am black before I am a woman and entire message boards have to make sticky links about WoC issues, this is why. White people dont have to have my back. I'm hurt. And I know I am rambling but this feels like a death.

I'm very thankful for my health but for a second I was kind of wishing I was like a few of my ICU patients who are completely obvlious to what is going.
