A Pep Talk for the Majority of America Who *DIDN’T* Vote for Donald Trump

Posted on by

If you voted for #ClasslessBuffoon (and I really don’t give a shit why you made that reprehensible choice — it was WRONG and you knew it when you cast that ballot), go read something else today because this post isn’t for you. (If you’re the Catholic blogger from Akron, Ohio who routinely visits this site against my wishes and trolls me, go away or I’ll email your priest and tell him about your cyberbullying habit.)

Everyone else who *DIDN’T* vote to screw up this country, click on the “Continue reading…” link.

7 Quick Takes: AMERICA, YOU HAD ONLY ONE JOB!!!!! Edition

7 Quick Takes

I wrote these on Tuesday night after the presidential election was called for Trump so forgive some of the cattiness and be thankful that I’m getting it out of my system. 😉

— 1 —

Political Take #1. Am I irritated that Hillary didn’t win? Yes. Did I lose sleep over it? No. I’m an insomniac — I never sleep!

Am I surprised that Trump won? No. I have never doubted the propensity of the American people to vote against their own best interests. Example: a number of people in Kentucky rely on government aid and yet they continually vote politicians into office who cut that aid.

Is my life over? No. The sun still rose on Wednesday morning and was not blocked by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse so I’m counting that as a win.

Political Take #2. Interestingly enough, the date on this post is November 8, 2012… and the 2016 election was on November 8, 2016. #spookycoincidence

And yes, I’ll be taking my own advice from that particular post.

Political Take #3. As I will *READILY* admit that I am a snarky wench who can be petty and partisan to the nth degree when it suits my purposes, I’ve decided that I need a title for Trump once he takes office. My friend Katja suggested the “Idiot-in-Chief”. What do y’all think? Leave any suggestions in the comments if you have them.

Political Take #4. Having said all of that (including getting the partisanship and snarkiness out of my system), we all need to work on healing from the seeds of discord that have been sown in this election. Only when we can heal and work for the common good (and not just for those things that benefit us or for our own pet issues) can we make America (which was *ALREADY* great) a greater country. We are truly *STRONGER TOGETHER*.

Political Take #5. The one good thing coming out of Trump’s win is that Alec Baldwin now has job security on SNL for the next four years.

On to other topics! *in my usual valley girl accent* Like OHMIGOSH!!!! I’m creating queries in my Access class and they are SOOOO COOL! *proceeds to geek out about the various types of queries she can write and information she can sort with them*

OK… one last political take! I saw this in my Facebook memories a couple days ago and it resonated with me.

Finally done!
