I’ll have to admit that I had a couple of months of depression when Obama was first elected.
I managed to pull myself together and carry on with life, however, without the benefit of a “safe place” and without developing PTSD.
Yeah, I was in a funk, too - and it was probably worse in 2012 when Obama was re-elected. Nothing like PTSD; just button up and carry on.
The real problem for these low-info, low-age idiots is that they lack critical thought, and believed everything the media told them: Donald Trump is the Devil, and St. Hillary will trounce him. The outcome was so unexpected to them (though not so unexpected to the Dem elites - see their unease both before the election and on Election Night in “Trumped”), of course they would be shocked. It would be as though we were just told the Earth revolved around the moon instead of the sun...
Yes shit happens. I have to admit that in my early 20s I had no idea that real life will throw you some massive curve balls. My candidate losing an election was NOT one of them.
