What's everyone up to right now?

[Expired]

Up in the middle of the night trying to figure out how to explain this to my daughter after months of hearing what he actually said, and years ahead now.
I don't lie to my kid. There is no Santa, yes you're going to die someday....but this is impossible. She was so upset last night. It's my fault I suppose. I don't think I'll ever participate in another election. What's the point? The haters won, now they know they can. I don't even want to leave my house.

But seriously, what do I say to a 9 year old girl who was smart enough to to tell what a vile monster this man is, and I have to explain he's the president, and we should respect him? or what? I'm at a loss. I need time to process how many people were really ok with that level of lies and hatred.

Tell her the truth, He will have absolutely nothing to do with any meaningful decisions.

Just saw that Trump won the election..........................................................................................................................................................................

An ignorant, stupid unashamedly loud-mouthed pussy-grabbing shit-talking Mexican-hating Republicunt bigot is the president of the most powerful country in the world now?

Hold onto your hats......................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This is just awful. Just awful.

But that isn't the truth.

He may be the president but you're not legally required to respect that cunt.

If you say so. He's having his strings fitted as we speak.

But that isn't the truth.

Tell her the truth that this is the third national election stolen by the republican party in this century, and that its your job, her future job and the job of any responsible and reasonable American to ensure that instead of capitulating (as they have every time since 1994) the Democratic party holds to its name and stands up to this anti-democractic fascist movement.

What to tell her? The truth! She's smart enough to get it and it's very educational. She has a chance to gain some valuable understanding of how society works from this, and maybe it will motivate her to become active in politics or education when she is older. That way, you can turn the situation into something positive for her.
