[Bobstandard]

26. At 2:00 am I realized...

we’re probably fucked for the rest of my lifetime. I hope that’s not true for you.

[Maeve]

28. I just turned 69...I am determined to outlive tsf

I got grandkids; it's all for them.

[orangecrush]

40. You're not alone.

So am I.

[Kaleva]

33. Climate change is coming. It's going to get much worse

[Maeve]

34. Not disagreeing, but believe in human ability

We can find a way, if stupid doesn't hold us back

[Kaleva]

35. I don't believe all of humanity will be wiped out

As humans are capable of adapting if they have the neans but hundreds of thousands, if not millions, will not be able to and will perish. Particularly vulnerable are those who are desperately poor and live in third world countries.

3. Jan 6, they will swiftly to out devastating

changes to our way of governing. Longer term, not having the USA to lead the way on climate change means we have lost our chance to mitigate its effects.

Over 65, depend on SS, get food stamps, Medicare.

I am seriously fucked.

[Kali]

17. yeah govt will probably try to fuck us all

but in general you can pass with the asshole citizens.

[orangecrush]

19. I'm sure

I'm on a few lists.

[ForgedCrank]

15. Heres my thing,

I'm banking on everyone else being wrong about this. I suppose it's just my way of dealing with the crushing loss.
I try very hard to remain positive when faced with stuff like this. It's really hard sometimes, but it's about the only tool I have to get through disappointing times. No offense intended, but I hope you are all as wrong as wrong can be when this is all over with.
I just have to set my new horizon on Nov 2028 and wait for it with anticipation. That's about all I can do really. I really do believe we will all get through this without serious issue.

[orangecrush]

20. I wish

I shared your optimism.

[ForgedCrank]

32. Believe me

when I say that there are a lot of days when I have to fake my way through it, and I'm certainly not always true to my own demands on myself. This week has had a couple of days like that. i just try to keep it to myself when it happens.
We can do this. We always manage.

[In It to Win It]

16. Irrevocably fucked. A kind of fucked that will last long after Trump's gone

[orangecrush]

22. HOWEVER

Although we are fucked, we can 100% count on Trump to fuck up so fucking badly that when mid terms come, it may be possible to unfuck ourselves with the blessing of all the people he fucked.

[In It to Win It]

27. Yes but some changes you can't unfuck. Once he stacks the court, there's nothing we can do about that

[orangecrush]

29. I guess

We're gonna find out.

[Different Drummer]

18. Totally FUBARed.

[orangecrush]

24. See post #22.

[Initech]

21. I'll use this clip from the Big Lebowski to describe how fucked we are:

[orangecrush]

23. ...

[lees1975]

25. I'm not going down without resistance.

[Sneederbunk]

31. More f*cks than Tiedrich.

[Cirsium]

36. You are making light

You are making light of a very serious situation.

It is catastrophic, devastating. The prospects or the future are unimaginably horrific.

[Cha]

37. Dunno Yet.. but I just saw a Post on

my phone from FB that stated..

trump is NOT my president.

WE ARE FUCKED AMERICA

I Liked it, though. Had 3,000 Likes so far.

[Danmel]

38. Fucked and not in a good way

[jfz9580m]

39. Don't know

Given my lousy record with polls since my attempt to reinvent myself as a bullish cheerleader in the last few weeks (after I felt that a Vance-Trump presidency would be unendurable hell and goddamn it if I believed hard enough and felt it in my gut that Harris could win), I am abstaining from polls..

I guess we shouldn’t try things we know we are not very good at. I will revert to gloomy watchfulness..That was my main mode back when my username was nam78_two.

I got badly burnt out in 2011 and since then I wasn’t able to think clearly a lot.

At least this horrible, horrible election seems to have jolted me back to reality. I feel like I used to prior to 2010 (which was around when I started feeling more and more out of depth and burning out. Far from unusual in PhDs. I have been fortunate in having good mentors and colleagues throughout but eh..science research is hard. Hey another reason for Trump to dismantle education entirely!).

I mean I don’t think we are not in trouble. Pretty fucked I would think but as I said, since I am clearly shit at predictions of this sort anyway I am gonna quit

I shall go drown myself work now. I shall be back off and on to commiserate with everyone ;-/ .

Now that the very worst has happened at least there is no more uncertainty. They say humans deal worse with uncertainty than disaster.
