I've heard many people talk as negatively about Clinton. Let's just pray the president leads us in a moral way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/8#post-2650315 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 11:49:42 +0000 MrsSCB 2650315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm in disbelief. If you voted for Trump, at the very least you sympathize with the KKK, misogyny, xenophobia, racism, sexism and so much more. Because Trump was not secretive about how he felt. That was one of the things people liked about him, that he was "honest." Never mind that his honesty meant he was comfortable openly being a piece of shit human. I've seen people trying to make excuses for voting for him. Nope. You knew all of these terrible things and you still made your decision, blinders off, full disclosure. It's sickening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/8#post-2650270 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 10:17:58 +0000 periwinklebee 2650270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read in the exit poll data (<a href="http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president</a>) that of people who responded that they want the next president to be more liberal than Obama, 23% voted for Trump. This contrasts to people who responded they want to continue Obama's policies, only 5% of those respondents voted for Trump. I guess this would be consistent with Clinton losing a lot of the Bernie vote? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/8#post-2650267 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 10:12:10 +0000 littlebug 2650267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'd agree with that. I live in Central PA. I can safely say I saw 1 Clinton sign for every 20 Trump signs. I think that the Clinton campaign just didn't have a strong presence here and that really surprises me given what a battleground state it always has been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/8#post-2650263 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:57:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2650263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: someone at work just told me that too. So let's say she did not inspire enough people in the states that mattered to come out and vote. I mean the woman lost Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania! After Ohio was called for Trump and Florida was 100,000 votes in his favor I went to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/8#post-2650262 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:57:04 +0000 periwinklebee 2650262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: This is the most depressing thing I've read in this thread yet. "THAT'S America now--mothers are teaching their children that it was better for 6 million jews to die than for the US to have accepted any of them as refugees." :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650248 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:35:35 +0000 MamaG 2650248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let me start with that I'm a minority here. I'm more conservative than most. I crave fiscal conservativism. I want smaller government. I want to revamp most of our social welfare systems. I want to fix government inefficiency. I want for our monetary policy to get an overhaul. I want us to be strong in military and stand up to other fellow nations and be a leader that is respected. I don't want to try Roe v Wade again. I want marriage equality. I want gun control (for heavens sake guns in the hands of most Americans scares me!). I don't side with Mr Trump and I don't side with Mrs. Clinton. I voted blue. I live in a red state. I knew my vote wouldn't change my state. I truly believe (delusional maybe) that Trump will be more moderate than he professed. I hope he spends his time on trying to make change to some of our big government inefficiencies and leaves the wall behind us. I hope he's just like politicians before him spouting rhetoric that appeals to masses. I cry for those masses that wanted some of his changes. I hope they are disappointed in four years that he didn't deliver. I hope that we somehow get to a middle ground. I hope that America can move to the middle because the far right is just as scary as the far left. </p> <p>And for these Christian principles? Well I proudly stand today on the ground of non practice. I can't get behind today's strong religious right. </p> <p>I'm very anxious to see cabinet appointments. I am clinging to hope that he picks some amazing people to surround himself with. I have to hope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650247 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:29:55 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2650247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: @Mrs. Sunshine: And the "Lets just all trust Jesus as King" fb posts are infuriating. I mean yes, as someone who follows Jesus I get that. But what happened to being the social change in the world and fighting injustice and standing up for those who treated unfairly? We cant just sit by and wait for Jesus. We have a responsibility to be the hands and feet. Now. Today. To move things forward, not backward. </p> <p>Im dumbfounded. And heartbroken. I just don't understand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650245 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:22:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2650245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: @lilteacherbee: so many people who I've really looked up to in the past regarding their relationship with God have left me shocked and disappointed. I can't fathom what the line of thinking was there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650243 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 09:13:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 2650243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: "This is the worst part for me as well. I keep walking by people in the street and mentally thinking....was this you? Did you choose this monster? I dont know how to be a "christian" anymore knowing that so many people who profess to have my values are responsible for giving this kind of hatred a platform."</p> <p>THIS. This is exactly how I felt this morning dropping my son off at his southern baptist preschool. I'm choosing to ignore FB for awhile because so many people are celebrating and those are "Christians." It's so sad to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650241 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:59:22 +0000 Mama Bird 2650241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry everyone. We'll survive this, I think. But it's going to be a very unpleasant ride.</p> <p>@Ms. RV: this!</p> <p>I'm starting to think that a lot of the support for Trump was the same desperation vote that Obama got. It doesn't quite make sense to me given what else Trump stands for, but that could be it. People who were hoping for dramatic change from the Democrats, didn't get it, and turned to the Republicans. Of course, they may be just as disappointed by the results as they were by Obama's presidency. We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650239 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:55:49 +0000 lamariniere 2650239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: not that it changes anything, but Hillary is actually ahead in the popular vote right now.</p> <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/09/501393501/shades-of-2000-clinton-surpasses-trump-in-popular-vote-tally" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/09/501393501/shades-of-2000-clinton-surpasses-trump-in-popular-vote-tally</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650237 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:42:40 +0000 Anagram 2650237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm right there with you. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650236 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:41:59 +0000 Adira 2650236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yes, you're absolutely right.

And she said we couldn't take them all, so it wasn't fair if we took only a few and not all, so the US made the best choice."</p> <p>THAT'S America now--mothers are teaching their children that it was better for 6 million jews to die than for the US to have accepted any of them as refugees.</p> <p>It's sickening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650234 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:40:30 +0000 MrsSCB 2650234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: exactly. Get over yourself. Congratulations, you assisted in one of the most shameful nights in our history! Glad you still feel good about your decision 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650233 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:37:43 +0000 Anagram 2650233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think it's time to accept that large swaths of the American public are not teaching their children those values. I think they are happily teaching their children--and practicing themselves--that it's perfectly fine to discriminate based on sexuality or race or religion. That "the other" is scary.</p> <p>I literally had a student come in to school today, exulting Trump. His exact words were, "Hillary was going to kill all of us". He's a WASP kid. Where would he get an idea like that? THis kid isn't spending his free time reading Breitbart news. But the thing is, they DO hear and see what their parents are doing, and they make their own equivocations based on that.</p> <p>This is America. We have to stop pretending it's only some crazy offshoots of the public. It's the majority now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650231 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:36:47 +0000 littlebug 2650231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Yes! I have friends who are still posting stuff about voting 3rd party and being proud for voting for the "right guy for the job." Well done. This nation (and the world) is in turmoil and the rights of millions of people are in jeopardy and our economy is headed down the toilet. But yay. Your principals are still intact. You selfish prick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650229 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:28:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2650229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hillary got spanked.

How can I keep my little girls safe if someone can joke about sexual assault, on camera, then be accused by many women of following through on exactly what he joked about, and be elected president. How can I keep them safe in a world where that is ok? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650224 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:22:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2650224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know so many people who really hated both candidates and said they just couldn't stomach voting for either of them. And I would actually argue with them, saying you HAVE to know he is worse. And they would eventually agree by say she was so awful. And many of them did not vote for president at all. And I just want to shout "are you happy now?!?! Is this what you wanted??" (But most of my circle are in blue states where their vote "didn't matter"). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650223 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:20:57 +0000 IRunForFun 2650223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: @Mrs. Lion: This is what scares me the most too. Yes, there are checks and balances, but with the house and senate behind him I'm not sure how effective those checks and balances will really be. I'm terrified that he WILL be able to do some of the things he's said he'll do because no one will stop him. I was in tears this morning thinking about having to potentially tell my daughter someday about all the things women USED to be allowed to do. To say nothing of any progress made in equality for minorities/LGBTQ that could be entirely erased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-will-be-the-next-president/page/7#post-2650222 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:17:28 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2650222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: This is the worst part for me as well.

All those people still insisting, "oh but if Johnson got enough votes this could be the beginning of the end of the two party system." No. This was not the time. This was not the year.
