Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

She's saying Hillary would cause democrats to be seen as the bad guys.

Mostly due to the political swing of opinions depending on who is in power.

We always want the other guy.

Don't worry @Megalon72 I got what you're saying.

Ah, I get it now. Sorry, was confusing.

I remember her saying she didn't think same sex couple should get married once

She officially supports LGBT rights. Things do change, respectively.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Why do I even bother, if you're just going to keep with this scare-mongering....

but isnt thats all that happening right now? Fear-mongering, to a degree?

Like, Im still pretty calm, Im just glad the election is over now

 

[Opossum]

I remember her saying she didn't think same sex couple should get married once

In the 90s when it was much more of a social taboo. America as a whole has progressed since then, herself included. Trump clearly hasn't, considering who he chose as a running mate.

This is exactly what we wanted to avoid with those rules.

I mean, he's right. You can source pretty much everything he said.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I really think Trump's rise to victory was because of his opposition demonizing him and his supporters

You can't guilt people into looking at your point of view and that's what the majority of Hillary supporters tried to do

Except I've voted.

Thing is I don't care for the doomsday aspect of these results since it will be exactly how things went with Bush's run.

Remember all the good things that guy did? I definitely don't.

Aha, ok, I see

Oh well, I guess I'll live through this

 

[MF Viewtiful]

This is day had been a dark one for sure. That being said if you still value things like respect, compassion, tolerance, and all that jazz, keep on trucking. It's going to be a tough four years but don't let the cynicism destroy you. Continue to value human life of all kinds.

 

[AreJay25]

I'm not going to say that this is the end of the world or anything like that.

But man. I don't have a lot of confidence right now. I'm definitely worried about what Trump will do.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

mean, he's right. You can source pretty much everything he said.

I can source a lot of bad things about Clinton too.

Point is, we promised to hold our head high and face whatever happens with pride.

That doesn't go away just because Trump won.

That's the point when we really need to hold our head high.


Besides, when I say it won't be that but, it won't be that bad.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh come on.

It's not THAT bad.

We have had presidents like Trump before.

We'll survive this.

I can back this. We've had crazy and hateful people in office before. Hell, honestly, if we survived through Nixon back in THOSE days, where things could've turned bad much easier, I think we can survive Trump.

You know that isn't true.

The progress we've made won't go away that easily.

Not only that, but people underestimate how much progress we've made through recent years, back in the 2000s. Trump definitely won't effect the way the way the majority thinks. The huge majority of people who agree with Trump on any of his bigoted views were already bigoted in the first plays.(And don't misread that, I mean the people who are, not the people who vote for him. Most people that vote for him do it for other reasons such as change or just seeing him as the lesser evil.)

I... what? Trump is a bigot. Hillary isn't. I'm not sure what's so odd about my worrying post.

I'm not exactly doomsaying, I'm just worried because it legit affects people I know negatively.

Except Hillary has already passed many anti LGBT laws back in the 90s, but I guess people like to know that. Hillary may not bigoted, but she most likely just sees us as pawns to use, I doubt she cares about us. That's how most politicians see us in general one way or another, ust away to promote themselves and get elected, because that's what's popular within the party. We don't even know what Trump will and could do yet. He hasn't mentioned any LGBT laws that he wants to pass, don't worry about it until he actually does it.

It's definitely going to be slowed.

Which is extremely good because quite frankly we're proggressing too fast and getting too extreme. There's a reason why the a lot of memes resolve around SJW idealologies, they are often times so absurd. And the more absurd they get, the more so people call for the extreme of the opposite end of the spectrum, that is how you get Trump or eventually even worse. He may be bigoted and potentially attempt to slow us down, but quite frankly I don't thank he'll actually get the majority to go through with that kind of stuff. In fact, if he's so outragous, then that'll backfire against him and show how bad he and others like him can be.

Bigots often use the faults of others to boost themselves, and it really works. That's how you can get people to really hate us, that's how you get people on his side, not progressing properly and carefully.

 

[Deleted member]

When was the last good thing any President did, actually?

The way I see it, Republicans and Democrats have been taking turns at having bad Presidents for some time.
The ball's merely been passed back to the Republican court now.

 

[Aetheri]

Just a word of advice, folks...

Wait and see...What happened, happened and we've gone too far to do anything about it now...Remember things don't always go as we expect...and sometimes that goes for what we fear as well...

I can't really say I'm feeling one way or another because I'm not American, but while I'm not holding my breathe for Trump to actually bring something positive to the table, I'm also not going to start preparing for the apocalypse either...at least not yet...

 

[Mythra]

Memba when people were confident on the UK not leaving the EU due the polls?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I think we can survive Trump.

I like how Im trying to tell my GF this same exact thing in the calmest way possible and she doesn't even answer me, making my attempt useless

Oh well. I cant afford to help someone that is scaring themselves senseless

 

[Substitution]

I mean, he's right. You can source pretty much everything he said.

Yeah, but I know it came off very extreme which I do apologize.

It's just been an angry night for me. While I do stand by my comments, I just have a lot of dark thoughts right now.

And I have it easy; I'm just some wonder bread schmuck. I couldn't tell you the feelings others must be having right now.

 

[Champ Gold]

God's still here and that's all that matters to me

If you complain about the results and you didn't even go to the polls, I just hope that you remember this down the line and remember that voting ALWAYS matters

Also we're living in a timeline where I can play dream-like video game titles, impossible odds of characters being in a competitive party fighter , technology has advanced to where we can communicate faster, we have reached social advancement and personally I'm a uncle who can be able to help a child grow into something special, life ain't even reached the point where it's over.

I'm still living and blessed and you guys should just remember that nobody can take that away from you. Just let it ride and try again

What part of these ideologies are absurd?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You know it's kinda funny seeing all this.
Because admittedly I have been searching for my sexual identity, which therapy has helped with a lot.

I don't know what I'll do with that anymore. Given what's going to be happening.

Why can't you come out even with a Trump victory?

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

All I have to say is that the Rainbow Serpent has a lot of work to do.

Oh wait, she cares more about what happens back in Australia than any other country on this planet.

 

[Deleted member]

Because apparently coming out with Trump as President means they will be dragged out onto the street and shot.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What part of these ideologies are absurd?

The radicals.

She is talking about the radicals.

It's fairly clear she is talking about the radicals.

Don't add that debate onto what we're dealing with right now.

 

[Substitution]

I'm sorry. If we're going here I'll just delete the statement. I don't want to cause something.
Once again, I apologize.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

People are calling this a "White Lash"

This is what I'm talking about

This is the reason people voted for Trump

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm sorry. If we're going here I'll just delete the statement. I don't want to cause something.
Once again, I apologize.

No.

We're just saying that even if you are having questions about your sexuality, Trump shouldn't stop that.

Trump isn't some bogeyman that will get you.

So be yourself man.

 

[Kurri ★]

I wasn't planning on debating any of it. I was just curious.

 

[Opossum]

It was just when things started looking up for me, too. Really could have used that free ride back to college. Had to take a leave that I'm still on not for grade reasons, but financial. My current situation makes loans and most forms of federal aid impossible for reasons I won't get into for personal reasons. So yeah. The free public college for low income households would have really helped me get back what I worked so hard for.

Yeah, some will say it was never guaranteed to happen even if Clinton got in, but at least the idea had a chance. Can't say the same in Trump's reign. But hey, Trump's trying to limit journalistic freedom anyway, so what use is a journalism degree, right?


For those that are pained by this, just know you're not alone. Lots of folks are hurting right about now. This shouldn't have happened, but it did. Not sure what else to say, other than this really does hurt a lot of people.




Sorry for rambling.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

All I have to say is that the Rainbow Serpent has a lot of work to do.

Oh wait, she cares more about what happens back in Australia than any other country on this planet.

God, Vishnu, Buddha, Shiva, and a crap ton of other deities have a lot of work to do. They all share the same universe after all.

Not sure about the Scientologists, but who cares about them?

Just remember that you have elected a president, not a king.

He can't do whatever he wants. The checks and balances are there specifically for these situations.

And like I said, bug legendaries actually worthy of that title

 

[Yellowlord]

Which shows do you watch? There's got to be something on the internet relating to them.

Calm down. America won't change overnight. Any change will be gradual, and you will have time to react.

just do yourself a favor and look up the sun and moon leakes all of them theres some good **** in there it'll cheer you up

I appreciate your questions/advice, guys.

@Lord Dio, not to ignore your question, but I think I'd rather want until I feel better before I start going into that stuff (if I choose to).

FalKoopa , thank you for providing me this; I will watch some of it to help me cheer up.

@powerprotoman, I do not wish to risk spoiling the story or any post game details; I want to discover that all for myself when the game comes out. While I do not disagree with you saying it would help me feel better, that's just how I prefer to do things when it comes to spoilers.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I apologize then.

It came off that way and I was worried we were gonna start another mess.

My bad.

But hey, Trump's trying to limit journalistic freedom anyway, so what use is a journalism degree, right?

I don't mean to invalidate your feelings, but this happens literally with every president ever.

Trump or no Trump.

 

[Deleted member]

To put my point simply though, since I just thought of something. The similiar things have happened to past with other progressive groups, but they progressed too extremely and it backfired badly. A big example I can think of are the hippies, they started off really innocent, but then you got the crazies, and out of a result of that you get Nixon as president who despises them and promotes the normal majority and absolutely despised minorities of any kind.

What part of these ideologies are absurd?

Non binary, cultrural approipation, feminism in general over recent years, too many complicated and neeedless terms, over sensitivity, demonizing majority groups for being the majority, glorifying victimization. etc. Those are things that tick off people a lot, though from the majority of LGBT people I've talked and are friends with, they aren't like the radicals.

However, the radicals speak very, very loudly and that's what sticks to people's minds. If it weren't for the radicals, I wouldn't be ashamed for being LGBT at all, I'm not of afraid of bigots at all. However, I am scared of being seen as a freak by everyday normal people just because they assume things about me. I'm afraid to make friends as myself because I think I'll be seen as a freak because of what radicals say or do. Hell, one thing I here a lot is that people don't want to have color dyed hair just because the radicals are assiociated with them, even though they'd like to.

And this is come from an androgyous male who's Indonesian/Native American(Ugh, I also hate having to describe myself because they're also acciossiated with over labeling themselves), I would be perfectly proud and fine of being that if other people of the LGBT and other progressives didn't blow things out of proportion. Luckily most I talk to are perfectly chill, it's just that we shouldn't progress too fast. If we are to progress, it should never be in a dogmactic/demanding fashion.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

That moment you want some anime gifs for a sig but you Cant go on tumblr now though, because you know there is to much fear mongering

I want me gifs

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Trump may be the leader of the free world as of now sadly. It's embarrassing to say the least. That being, you're still you at the end of the day. If you still got any ounce of love and kindness left in your heart, spread it around. Some groups of people are really going to need it. The world is going to need some positivity in there.

 

[Kurri ★]

Why can't you come out even with a Trump victory?

There's nothing stopping someone from coming out, and if they can, they definitely should. But with this outcome people will be afraid. The Republican party in general isn't known to be kind to LGBT folks, and with a Republican in office, one that has a VP that supports Conversion Therapy mind you, things are a lot scarier for them now. Legally speaking, probably nothing will happen. I doubt any progress we've made like legalized gay marriage and such would ever regress, but socially speaking, there's definitely going to be more tension.

This goes the same for racial and religious tension.

Republicans maintained majority in the House and are due to get two seats in the Senate, marking majority there.

The checks and balances are gone.

Long live the king.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

Remember.

Most republicans in the Senate still don't like Trump.

Nah.

It's a fair point to bring up.

But most republicans aren't as radical as Trumpy.
