I see a business opportunity here selling 'safe spaces' to people traumatized by Trump.

Maybe Slate will commit suicide when President Trump takes office.

When a person has spent their entire adult life in la la land they become traumatized at the prospect of losing their fantasy. We need interventions for liberals and extensive mental health services for those traumatized by the adults taking over the playpen.

I’m buying stock in companies that manufacture anti-anxiety/depression drugs in anticipation of a Trump victory.

Breath DEEP the gathering gloom!

In sociology and psychology, mass hysteria (also known as collective hysteria, group hysteria, or collective obsessional behavior) is a phenomenon that transmits collective allusions of threats etc., whether real or imaginary, through a population in society as a result of rumors and fear (memory acknowledgment).

Just think how depressed they’ll be after Hillary collapses at the debate.

These people are mentally unstable - and they’re close to HALF of our population!

And. They. Vote. Aarrgghhhh!

Seriously? America (barely) survived 0bama; now we can survive and thrive under Trump. I hope he says something along the lines of, ‘And to those of you who didn’t vote for me, we are going to drag you along with us, kicking and screaming and improve your quality of life, whether you want it, or not!’

We will NOT survive as a Nation under, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named.’

Great. Now *I* sound crazy, LOL!

As of this writing, FiveThirtyEight gives Trump a 42.4 percent chance of prevailing, though that might change by the time you read this.

Yep, down to 38.3%.

Trump has already said that he will be working to Change things in USofA even for those who vote against him. I don’t recall which speech/event.

This does not qualify as mass hysteria, but it does reflect the triumph of the histrionic style among "progressives," who over value feelings at the expense of rational thinking.

The "psychologists," who apparently share their patients' pathology, need some serious supervision.

What’s really weird is that even if Trump is elected, it is unlikely that anything will actually change for these people. They will just feeeeeeel.

Hmmmm. Maybe the airlines are anticipating a windfall with all the ‘skerred’ people planning on bailing out on the US when Trump wins. “They” will have to build hollyweird east somewhere in the EU(pronounced yewwww). If you ever thought hildabama was psycho before, just wait until late in the evening of Nov 8. when the msm has no choice but to declare Trump the winner. There won’t be an ashtray or vase safe anywhere within a mile radius.

How about those black trash bags with the yellow draw string?

They could climb inside them and draw them closed while sitting at the curb on trash day.

Everyone wins!
