Suicide spike in wake of Trump's victory

Ok, thats a bit extreme, seriously, he's not even president until January, and even then, we don't know how things would go. In the past his views have in fact been very liberal, so we could see that come back. Plus Canada is right there.

Don't get me wrong, I despise Trump, but it's been less than 12 hours, at least give him a chance before killing yourself jeez. Trump is temporary, Suicide is permanent.

I can't imagine how marginalized some are feeling right now. We just elected a VP that supports conversion therapy and is against all lgbt rights. Many of my friends are panicked and have little hope of the government turning to support of them again.

These poor souls taking their life in fear of what was to come. It's so saddening, the effect that these politicians have on people and their lives

Jesus, he's not even the president yet. Get a grip people. They didn't kill themselves strictly on this matter.

I know how they must've felt but this is not worth taking your life. :( I'm genuinely scared for those 4 years. Look at what has happened in just a day.

Maybe it was building up and this is what pushed them over the edge? I really hope not :( 

Inshallah things get better.

I'm very concerned, I think suicide rates and depression are gonna go up. People are feeling very hopeless. People were legit crying in school today. I was one of them.

So it means they could've potentially decided to take their own lives if trump won wich is a horrible thing to think about, but it's possible.

I'm not even American and I've been feeling awful all day long. It hit me hard because I thought the world was going forward and this is a huge step back.

Yeah, sorry to sound cruel, but that was quite an overreaction if this is true

People that have been **** on there lives are probably very traumatized to see someone who's the literal embodiment of their tormentors become president, let's not criticize them.

True. Its hard being gay, but being a transgender is probably harder tbh

Are you actually implying trans-hate is new or sudden? The answer is yes, you are, even if you didn't mean to. 

Trump winning is just a validation of every fear that minorities had about their white, straight neighbors. There is nothing left to live for, not even hope.

It's not only trump and pence's fault, but all the deplorables.
