I knew it would be bad, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to be like this. It's much worse than I imagined.

At least back then I still believed maybe some of it was an act.

Now it's real. Kelly, Miller, Pruitt, Nielsen, Sessions, Ivanka, Jared. It's worse than I had imagined.

fucking evil and those who did not vote or voted stein own this mess more than any trump voter. Let's not forget this...

My worst fears from that morning were all realized a while back (except for our partial escape on ACA repeal).

We're now into stuff that hadn't even OCCURRED to me.

The thought of losing my health insurance, as a cancer survivor, was terrifying. I really scared my mother, but she calmed my down and assured me that nothing would happen to take away my insurance just because I had cancer.

She was wrong. Now she's scared for me, too.

And it's much worse than I thought it would be.

I was debating the goddamn deplorables and listened to what they wanted to do. They want to gut the government, pollute the air, water and pretty much take us back to the 18th century.

I am kind of surprised that the republican congress hasn't gutted government agencies even more then they have...I wouldn't say worse as I fully expected the EPA, education and more to be eliminated.

Its really sick to realize that a very large minority of our own people wish to live in a third world country...How fucking sad.

I'd expect the epa, education and the IRS to go bye bye at a minimum in the following 2 years.

We right now need to shout it from the roof tops that most of our consumer, workers and enviromental protections are gone if the republicans win. We need to also note that medicare and medicaid may also be on its way out if we lose.

Those who deliberately engineered this calamity upon us deserve to be dipped, at one inch every five minutes, feet first into sulfuric acid. It wouldn't begin to compensate for the suffering and damage done to the country, the world, the children at the border, the lost confidence in the USA worldwide, but it will be something for the guilty contemplate as their rotten selves get dissolved so that humanity will never again be in danger from them.

Two reasons: it's now worse than anything any of us could have possibly imagined...and anyone who attempts to oppose this nightmare will become a target.

on November 9, 2016 and feeling of impending doom.. I'd say it's right on par

I never had that foolish notion.. in fact I squashed it when anyone said it to me.

to be honest, I expected things to be worse than this by now, but if this trade war nonsense does what it seems like it's bound to do to the economy, well....

That sick feeling...a literally visceral sense of dread and revulsion...well, it hasn't really gone away since 11/9/16. I suppose I've learned to live with it, sort of, but it's still there, and comes to the surface when I hear about the latest daily outrage.

He hasn't gotten us into nuclear war.

All the rest of this stuff can still be undone (not that there won't be lasting consequences) by future administrations/legislatures.
