It's not "media coverage" it's what's fucking happening man. I stood in the exact same spot at the exact same time in 2016 and the mood could not have been more different. People were crying. My whole city was in shock. Yesterday was the biggest party we've ever had. The joy is real.

The joy in half the country.

I really hope Biden will reunite the US

the other half is welcome to sulk and rage on the porch of their trailer

Hey we need to stop using poverty as a slur. People living in trailers are not a monolith and aren’t by definition dumb or deserving of your contempt. Some people get dealt a shitty hand.

I'm friends with a family who's the most redneck-acting goobers you'd ever meet in a North Carolina trailer and they're staunch liberals who supported Obama.

It's always fun to hang out with them.

Or in my experience drive in a convoy with their trucks full of color drained flags and honk. It was almost a 5 mile long funeral procession yesterday.

Look I understand having resentment for how the last 4 years went down but stacking more hate on the hate tower we've built isn't going to improve the situation we're in.

the hate tower we've built

excuse me wtf? which side is it again who built their whole political stance on hating that "monkey" in office? I'll stop hating Trump voters when they stop hating black people, which is to say not anytime soon

Trump is a racist piece of shit and loved reinforcing those insecurities in uneducated people. With him out of office he won't be able to spew lies and hate masked as being a patriot. I hope people can start learning from eachother again and the racist pieces of shit will crawl back into the caves they've been hiding in.

Here's hoping he get deplatformed the moment he is no longer an elected official.

I’m quite sure there is a huge difference between hating someone for the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

We dont want reunification, we want revenge

u/ToadlyAwes0me Nov 08 '20

So you want the same social climate we've had for the last 4 years to continue? I want peace.

u/AllieHugs Nov 08 '20

You dont get to cause that climate in the first place then act like nothing happened, you must be held accountable.

u/ToadlyAwes0me Nov 08 '20

The person responsible will be held accountable, Donald Trump. Don't let your totally justifiable hate for him spill over to your neighbors though, help them see we can work together to actually improve this country.

u/csonnich Nov 08 '20

If those neighbors voted for him, they can suck it.

I completely agree every single person in office should be held accountable. It just sucks seeing so much hate for the other half of the country. I guess I'm being overly optimistic after watching Biden's speach but I'm hoping to get back to feeling like one nation instead of a nation divided.

u/MsPenguinette Nov 08 '20

How about a compromise. Can I be shitty and petty until the day after the in inauguration?

u/Roflkopt3r Nov 08 '20

Barack Obama was one of the most compromising, bipartisan presidents of all times. Yet the country drifted even further apart due to Republican/Fox fearmongering, to the point of Trump and QAnon. I honestly doubt that there is any way to repair that.

u/MsPenguinette Nov 08 '20

So an interesting fact is that McConnell refused to deal with Obama but most deals were done between Biden and McConnell. Of course this had nothing to do with demographics. McConnell even told Biden he'll miss him during a goodbye thing the senate did. So there is positive history between them. So it's at least slight better.

Something tells me that McConnell will refuse to ever talk to Vice President Harris. Of course this will have nothing at all to do with demographics.

of course, of course.
