Don't Agonize, Organize (Lena Dunham Essay on Hillary Clinton loss)
LennyLetter.com ^ | 11-11-2016 | Lena Dunham

Posted on 11/11/2016 8:13:20 AM PST by Snickering Hound

I woke up on Election Day like a bride: rosy, thrilled, a little controlling about just how MY perfect day would be spent. After working on the Clinton campaign for eighteen months, I was ready to celebrate, and sure that by nightfall I'd be knocking back glasses of champagne and creating a story to tell my unborn children. Maybe I'd even get close enough to Hillary Clinton to hug her, to whisper "Thank you." I had dreamed about it every night for the last two weeks.

At a certain point it became clear something had gone horribly wrong. Celebrants' faces turned. The modeling had been incorrect. Watching the numbers in Florida, I touched my face and realized I was crying. "Can we please go home?" I said to my boyfriend. I could tell he was having trouble breathing, and I could feel my chin breaking into hives. Another woman showed me her matching hive, hidden by fresh concealer.

I hugged the women I had spent eighteen months with, laughing and plotting and spreading our love for Hillary Clinton and her message. My party dress felt tight and itchy.

By the time we'd made it over the bridge, a friend called. "It's over," she said. "I love you." I was frozen. We stopped at the diner. No one was speaking as they ate, no one in the whole place.

At home I got in the shower and began to cry even harder. My boyfriend, who had already wept, watched me as I mumbled incoherently, clutching myself. "It wasn't supposed to go this way. It was supposed to be her job. She worked her whole life for the job. It's her job."

Pure Schadenfreude gold.

By the way, her boyfriend used to date Scarlett Johansson, probably the greatest drop off in dating history.

Yeah, he was crying over Hillary Clinton.

Probably why he's not dating Scarlett Johansson anymore. Whether people admit it or not, most women are not attracted to crybaby men.

Dunham swore she would leave the U.S. if Trump was elected.

She is a liar like all Democrats.

An image I will immediately
wipe from my mind, laughing hysterically.

I wish to hell I still lived in New York city, I would have been hounding the living hell out of those protesters, driving them up the wall “Why are you protesting PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump? What did PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump ever do to you? Don’t you know PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump will do good for the country? When PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump takes office you will see how well PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump will do”

She ain’t right in the head. I thought she was going to move to Canada with Whoopi Cushion and the other fruitcakes.

But we kept going, thinking these were the dying moans of the dragon known as the patriarchy being stabbed again and again in the stomach. We believed that on November 9, they'd be licking their wounds while we celebrated. It is painful on a cellular level knowing those men got what they wanted, just as it's painful to know you are hated for daring to ask for what is yours. It's painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him, too. My voice was literally lost when I woke up, squeaky and raw, and I ached in the places that make me a woman, the places where I've been grabbed so carelessly, the places we are struggling to call our own.

The narcissism is just blazing with all these reprobates. They luxuriate in it, praise it, model it and identify with it completely.

They remind me of a child proudly holding up a dried dog turd they found, clutching it as their prize possession.

Gone, gone, gone.

Man, that is one of the sickest pieces of writing.

It’s weird when you read something and understand every word, but feel like the words CAN’T mean what you understand them to mean. A parallel lexicon/dictionary.

Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate to put up for election. no democrat has ever come into this race for’them’with such a known high rate of negatives across every demographic as her. she failed to change people’s minds about her.

everypiece like’this shows these people are still in the stage of denial. some’just moved right to anger.

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. most are still in depression, some are in anger. just remember to carry when the bulk of them go to anger. these people do not think the laws apply to them.
