cnn-predicting-popular-vote-trump_(1).jpg — We didn't lose America, we just lost the EC

Kathy Clark

Just now · Pensacola ·

I just posted this to my Facebook feed. I’ll probably lose a few more friends from my conservative Florida Panhandle network and maybe some liberal ones, too. Whatever. If they can’t accept my dissent from their worldview, then I guess they weren’t really my friends to start with.

Okay, my liberal Facebook friends. The time for grief is over. It's time to put our money where our mouths are. What are WE, collectively and individually, going to do to make sure 2018 is different? It's time to plan and organize. We have the population and the popular opinion advantage. We can harness that as we look to the future. But if we keep posting TEOTWAWKI memes and articles right now, we are doing EXACTLY what conservatives did with Obama without any proof or evidence. Sheesh. I heard somewhere that facts are supposed to have a liberal bias? Let's get our act together, organize, and look to the future. Should we be on alert? Yes! If any of the scary stuff we fear materializes, call that crap out immediately. FIGHT immediately. But lets work from facts and not from scare tactics. We're better than that.

So, what’s the next step? I’m done grieving, and I’m done blaming. I’m done being scared of what Trump “could mean,” and I’m ready to make sure I am instrumental in determining what he WILL mean to our country.

I could not care less who the next DNC chair is as long as he/she takes this job seriously and has an excellent plan for retaking the Senate and hopefully the House in 2018. If it pans out they way it looks like it’s going, I welcome Ellison as the new chair. And I also hope Howard Dean, or someone else without another full-time professional commitment, is his second-in-command so that there’s at least one high profile person in a full-time position to carry out the DNC’s needed guidance and vision.

This loss was devastating. On so many levels. And we have to recognize the very real fears of many Americans that Trump’s many campaign slogans and promises engendered. But we also have to band together and MOVE FORWARD past this loss and into a progressive future.

FIRED Up! READY to GO!

Are you?

Screen_Shot_07-29-16_at_08.03_PM.PNG — Because, evil.

No, seriously. This is a thing on my FaceBook page right now. A family friend, who is actually a very well-traveled and highly educated person, shared and commented on it. I really don’t get the lack of critical thinking involved in believing that short speech clip is a sinister conspiracy. But lack of critical thinking has been a fixture of Obama Derangement Syndrome and, prior to that, Clinton Derangement Syndrome. Which is now rearing its head in full force once again.

People are piling on in the comments like it’s a totally reasonable interpretation of her clearly joking remarks. Or, even if they don’t buy into the conspiracy, it’s just another great opportunity to bash Hillary yet again.

Can we make progressive comments turn the tide on this “article”?

I'm wondering if this is happening to everyone or if it's just for a lucky few. I've been checking in on Dean Chambers' UnskewedPolls site for a few weeks and most recently checked out his newest "Barack Ofraudo" (how original!) site which posits that the 2012 election result was skewed by massive voter fraud. Right, Dean. Right.

Recently when I clicked in, I was directed to a poll which asked various questions about my political leanings, including whether I thought the latest election result was due to fraud. No big deal - I answered honestly in the hopes that he might catch a clue from the rational people out there.

Today when I accessed the site and clicked on "Post Comments" to give him some much needed, reality -based feedback on his latest fever dream, I got this...

... a juvenile animated gif that eventually dumped me here: http://www.youtube.com/...

And now I am getting this lovely gif just from typing the main page address into my navigation bar. How mature!

Is this just me, or is anyone else getting to enjoy the insanity?

This is my first diary, but I couldn't sit by the sidelines and let this particular piece of RW crap float by on Facebook without saying something. Perhaps, like me, you've seen it posted on your FB wall by some virulent wingnut you know and love...
