[quote=njtosd][quote=millennial]That’s funny. I said the same exact thing. They must have been freaked out with a black president named Obama.[/quote]
Being unhappy with an outcome is not the same as being “freaked out”. (This is the first time one of your posts has lived up to your screen name, in my opinion. ) I don’t remember Supreme Court justices threatening to move to New Zealand, or people “protesting” (aka whining) in the streets over the presidential outcome in ’08 or ’12. I think it’s a matter of bruised ego for a lot of the intellectual types.[/quote]
I have no idea what you mean about “living up to my screen name” but I think there are legitimately a lot of people actually freaked out. Maybe not the “intellectual types” you speak of but when I walk into my office and see reactions of Mexican American coworkers they are actually scared of the outcome of this election. This is real to them, maybe you wouldn’t consider them as the intellectual type but they are “freaked out”. Or how do I respond to Muslim Americans who are worried about getting deported based on their religion? Tell me how do I respond to them? Maybe for intellectual types like you and bearish girl this is a game, but for many Americans who this may affect this actually may mean something.
For intellectuals like my friends and I we are also freaked out to the point where it’s hard to sleep at night. The ability for him to control not only the executive and legislative branches but also the judicial is a big deal and based on what he has said you should definitely be scared.
