This is just ridiculous. Its an election. Its not war. Its not anything traumatic in the slightest. You go in, you vote, you leave, and watch results. Theres a winner and a loserand life goes on. For an ungodly amount of Millennials at Arizona State University, Donald Trumps upset win over Hillary Clinton proved to be traumatizing. In fact, 25 percent of those polled said that Hillary losing was a traumatic episode for them.
There are times where my generation is unfairly lambasted for X, Y, and Z, but this game isnt new. I dont really care to be quite frank, though I will say, one this front, Millennials deserve to be torched for saying theyre exhibiting signs of PTSD because they lost an election. Just grow up, kids. Seriously, its an election. Everyone has moved on, except for the Acela Corridor. Im still floored by the 25 percent. I knew a lot of young liberals were triggered by Trumps win, but not this many. Then again, its opportunity to bash soft liberals who cant deal with a Trump presidency (via Daily Mail):

Students who were raised with Participation Trophies and always told they were “winners” regardless of performance are traumatized by everything that is not exactly what they want. Sorry, Snowflake, real life has no guarantees that you get exactly what you want and the sooner you grow up enough to realize that, the better.
I live in Florida now but I'm currently on a road trip to Tempe to sell a house I own here.
This is embarrassing. Disgusting. PTSD? Really? From Hillary losing? What "trauma" did these idiots suffer?
When I attended ASU, it was rated the number one party school in the nation because of the warm climate and casual lifestyle.
Now it should be known as the crybaby school for immature toddlers sequestered in their safe spaces.
When I attended ASU, it was rated the number one party school in the nation because of the warm climate and casual lifestyle.
Most of the partying happened in the sororities and fraternities, but there was also a general “party feel” to the university also. I was an undergraduate at ASU from 1972 through 1976. At that time the drinking age in Arizona was 18(later raised to 21 years old). The beer flowed freely at the football games which were raucous and crazy events.
Being an engineering major and working part-time to support myself, I did not have the time or money to participate in the partying.
The student section was as raucous as ever.
I would bet that there weren't too many PSTD snowflakes partying in the south end zone student section.
I put my house on the market next week and will return to Florida.
But I have reveled in the enjoyment of returning to my alma mater and Tempe, the college town I grew up in. Lots of friends, family and fond memories.
Not enough. They are still enrolled, still attending, still snowflaking at every conceivable opportunity. Thats my summation since there has been no headlines about the rapid drop in ASU enrollment.
“The cause is an education system...”
Nah, that’s a contributing factor but bad parenting is much more fundamental.
My grandmother made the pompom squad uniforms those years (’72 - ‘76.) My dad is a grad of ASU and is mortified at the way they are acting. I, too, have a TON of family still in Tempe... my uncle owned and operated Ray’s ASU Barber Shop. :o)
I remember Ray’s Barber Shop!!!
Small world :0)
I wouldn’t trust a lot of snowflakes to guard a dumpster, much less repair a $100 million aircraft.
