I'm at the anger stage of grief. I'll accept the results but the one thing Teump turns out to have been right about was that the election was rigged.

It just happened to be rigged in his favor. Voter suppression/ID in WI, NC and PA (how many votes did those cost Hillary). Active interference by Russia in our elections (and they got away with it). The Comey letter which Bill Maher r ferried to on his show as a coup (and now it doesn't seem so hyperbolic). I'm having a hard time coming to grips with this.

        there was the Foriegn Policy debate/townhall where Hill only got 30 seconds to actually talk about policy because all the questions were about emails -- nm - z Nov 9, 10:07

  - They only hope, to fundamentally change that, is that Trump is so disastrous that it causes people to pause and reassess. I don't think that will - Mel Profit Nov 9, 09:30 1
    - Yeah, I was fine hating people from Indiana. But now I struggle with not hating Americans. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 9, 09:31
