    Re: The election

    I'm going to leave this video here. This guy sums up some lessons from this election very well in my opinion.

        I actually wouldn't be surprised if he decides to keep the provisions that allow children to stay on their parents' health plans until age 26 and prevent insurance companies from denying coverage to those with preexisting conditions; from what I can tell, they've enjoyed a fairly bipartisan support among the electorate.

        The exchanges themselves are definitely going ka-put though, and most likely medicaid expansion as well.

            I did not support either candidate but honestly having Trump make a fool out of the news and such was fantastic. Not that it's hard...

            By the way, everyone is going to be fine. You're all fine.

              Does the lame duck period for Obama start now until January whenever? I did quite poorly in my government class because I simply don't care.

              When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

                  if you listen to congress he's been a lame duck ever since reelection

                  but actually, this is also the time for him to make any last-ditch efforts he can muster from purely executive power. reversing things could reflect badly on trump

                      this is easy to say but I have very close friends who have literally received death threats over their perceived race/religion

                      since Wednesday

                          yeah of course but I'm just saying that "you're all fine" isn't as realistic as it might sound

I'm gonna kill you because you're ______ race/religion? Lol.... yeah that just seems really weird to me... I mean it's America 2016. If it was said on the internet who cares, was probably just some dumb kid or old racist person raging on the keyboard. People are so over dramatic these days. "You're all fine".
                            It absolutely fucking happens in real life, and I'm glad you haven't had to experience it, but "people are so over dramatic these days" really? People are scared for their fucking lives here.

                            I have a friend who works at the supermarket and was wearing hijab and was told, and I quote, "If Trump gets elected I will kill you"

                            And I didn't witness this happen, I'm relying on what they told me, so if you want to say "lol that never happened, go back to Tumblr", here are some things I HAVE witnessed since the election

                            * A confederate flag hung on the walls of a prominent mosque on Wednesday
                            * A person shouting "leave the country" to my Muslim friend (in public!)

                            I live in Atlanta, so it's not like these behaviors are limited to rednecks in the Midwest.

                                I'm not tryna stir up drama, my point is just that if it was just that Trump was elected I wouldn't be -horribly- worried, but it seems like his election has emboldened closet racists to do terrible things
