I know what you mean. And I see people saying we need to support him now that he's been elected. Hell no! I can't think of a single statement of his that I can support. If by some chance a proposal comes out that is reasonable, I would support that, but as of now I don't see anything good coming out of this nightmare. And my DH wonders why I need something like Adam in my life... I can't even think rationally today as I am grieving deeply. Can't imagine supporting any of his agendas, except standing up for individual causes I believe in. That list is endless and will likely not be addressed within the next four years. He has been nothing but disgusting for 18 months during his campaign. He will need to prove to me that he deserves my respect and support.

The last time populism won in Germany the world fucked up... i was unable to get on adamtopia yesterday so i'm late to the game. and feeling so damn sad. and then i read your post so now i'm really terrified. i don't know what the heck happened to america that we would elect such a man. i want to move.

This election is devastating. What can people be thinking? I'm stunned and disappointed in humanity right now. Me too. I hardly want to go outside for fear that those hate-mongerers (sp?) are going to see me and attack. who would have thought that america could come to this? As someone stated on a different site, these elections are a blow to "basic human decency".

I hardly want to go outside for fear that those hate-mongerers (sp?) are going to see me and attack. who would have thought that america could come to this? An American friend of mine and his wife have a small shop in the central plaza in my small village in Mexico,. Lived here for years, employed Mexicans and had good relationships when they owned a restaurant and now a tshirt shop. Today the owner of the neighboring shop yelled at him, lots of four letter words and said that all "us Americans should get the f*** out of Mexico and go home." I retired here 19 years ago with my late husband, have a gay employee all of that time who works for me 5 days a week. The peso is tanking and who knows what lays ahead for Mexico. Before that the two of us lived in Saudi Arabia.... So that's three groups that HeWhoCannot amed doesn't like. All of those folks in many countries have enriched my life and made me a better person. If HeWhoCannot amed has worthwhile ideas, fine and good but otherwise he has a long way to go to earn respect and support.

Just my random thoughts.... We survived Nixon. I met Nixon once. I looked into his eyes. He was an evil man. I know a lot about Nixon. He was a much more dangerous man than Donald HeWhoCannot amed can even imagine. Thankfully, we have a Constitution with checks and balances. They have allow us to survive incompetence and evilness. It will carry us through even this -- whatever it is. You may say I am a dreamer but honestly we have distributed power and a President's power is limited, balanced. my dear, i want to believe you're right (and i do know that you are) but i'm so terrified right now that i'm having a hard time absorbing the truths that you've labeled as random thoughts. i'm grateful to have my happy place -- Adamtopia -- to come to because on most days when i'm here i forget about the misery that surrounds us. so i'll work on energizing myself with adam and all the lovely adamtopians that are here with me and maybe that way i'll get back to my own normal. anyway, mmmwwahhhhh to you for creating this beautiful site for all of us.

This is not the America I thought I lived in! I lived thru the racial unrest of the 60s! The cold war uncertainty of the 60s, wondering which day WW3 would start. The fights for Roe vs Wade in the 70s. 3 serious recessions. Gender discrimination at work and other places. I cannot handle all that again! I am devastated! IDEK know what to say or do today! Probably, for the rest of my life, we will never have a liberal or even moderate SCOTUS! I am just gutted! Can't stop crying! 😢 i couldn't get on here until today and i, too, can't stop crying. i can't believe there are so many people who want such an evil man as our president. it makes no sense and i want to hide away -- or move away -- for the next four years. thank god we have our lovely soft place to fall -- adamtopia -- and relax and have our happy thoughts and escape the pain of the real world.

Dear fellow Atoppers in the US, We are a world away but we feel a sadness and grief so deep after hearing about your election outcomes as if something precious had been lost. Just the ay before, the Supreme Court of my country of birth voted to allow our late dictator of a president who plundered our country and was ousted by popular revolt to be buried in our national Heroes' Cemetery. We blackened our twitter and fb posts as a sign of protest. Two heartbreaking back-to-back events. Take care everyone and warm hugs to all!!! 🙅 what lovely words you send us, so i just wanted to send hugs back to you. we do live in a crazy, hate-filled world, don't we? i just don't understand how so much hate exists because i think it's so much easier to love.
