From a friend on facebook

Posted by znufrii Nov 9 '16, 05:49

I know that I have Facebook friends who voted for Trump. I know I do.

I'm not going to unfriend you.

I'm going to remain your friend and make absolutely sure you are 100% aware of every bad thing that befalls me or any of my friends as a result of a Trump presidency. Because I know that if you are any friend of mine and you still voted for him, it is (in part) because you don't actually believe that he is going to do any of the awful things to the vulnerable people of this country that he's been threatening to do for months. You think he's full of hot air, crude and obnoxious but not actually dangerous, and you held your nose and voted for him because you want to put a pro-life justice in the Supreme Court. And because that was the stance you were committed to, you didn't believe all the people panicking and trying to convince you that Trump is ACTUALLY DANGEROUS rather than just unsavory. You thought we were just being melodramatic because we wanted to win an election.

I'm not going to NOT let you face the truth when he proves to be exactly as awful as we tried to warn you that he would be.

I'd love for a single website to be able to collect voting data from states (who voted/not voted, {not who they voted for}) and make it easy to search - Flavorize Nov 9, 06:23

- I don't see it as being vengeful as much as wanting to hold people accountable for the direction they have chosen for the country. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:24 8

    - Like they worked together with Obama for the last eight years? F*ck that. - znufrii Nov 9, 06:39 3
      - but if both sides just block each other for eternity out of spite, how does that help the citizenry? -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:42 1
        
        Blocking anything is no longer on the table, so we're stuck with what they chose. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 9, 06:45

    - I've been struggling with this. That they get to be obstructive and now that they won WE have to strive to work together. - volnelk Nov 9, 06:38 2
      - F*ck it. Hang them out to dry, let them own their own failures. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 9, 06:41 1
        
        But we can't block them the way they did us. They've got the keys. It's going to be about shining the light on results. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 06:43
I forsee a lot of "Don't blame me, I voted for Her" bumper stickers over the next few years. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 05:50 2
- I saw this hashtag yesterday from a FB friend. - kelly Nov 9, 06:07
- yep - even from people who didn't. -- nm - Diva Nov 9, 06:02
