I like the word 'dignity' because it really captures how I feel. Obama is absolutely doing the right thing, but the fact that he is so honorable and dignified is what makes this so sickening.

It feels like such an indignity for Obama, the first black president, to have to share a ride with this narcissistic racist. It feels sickening for such a dignified man to have to share a ride with a racist who spread these nasty conspiracy theories and watch Trump replace him.

From Hillary having to concede to this sexist, to Obama having to shake his hand and smile, to Obama having to ride with him and watch this man get inaugurated.... It all feels like one more punch to the gut.

It makes me want to cry tbh...

Its just like...

Racism and Sexism do win sometimes. The system is still so broken and we have so far to go and it feels like we are taking steps backwards :giveup: 

It's like were on a long staircase. So many people in this country are at the top, and they've been there so long they think everyone else has already made it or is close, but really half of the country is constantly going up and down it with no foreseeable end in sight and the people at the top don't realize that things won't be truly better until they are better for everyone. Its infuriating and depressing all at the same time :smh: 

Spoiler

(Yes, that was a loosely veiled privilege metaphor, but I didn't mean it as simply as "white male" at the top or anything, its multifaceted)

Personally, I know Obama said after his term is over that he is going to be more openly critical and vocal of things and I am looking forward to him (after his well deserved break) to become a savage and remain a voice of reason in this country. 

Bring on his Podcast tbh. I'd tune in every ****ing day.

Technically Trump will be the 44th man sworn into the office of the presidency, not the 45th. Grover Cleveland's serving non-consecutive terms confuses everything. Grover Cleveland is like The Fame Monster of presidents.

Not that any of this matters in light of the impending nuclear holocaust.

Following the inauguration, Obama will take one last flight on Air Force One, which also is traditional. His destination is Palm Springs, Calif.

Oh man, can you imagine how that feels? What kind of thoughts would Obama have during his flight? What will the staff think of, saying their last goodbyes?

I can imagine Obama sitting in his airplane seat, and after takeoff, he lets go of a big sigh he's been holding for 8 years. It's the end of his era.

 

Omg I have friends from Palm Springs, they better break through secret service and get a pic with him :gaycat:

Ugh...this literally makes me sick. Such an injustice.

I can't wait until 2020 when Pence leaves office :smh:

And no, I'm not suggesting Trump will be assassinated, just that we all know he'll end up assaulting some woman and going to jail or he'll get caught with a hooker or something that's considered an impeachable offense long before 2020. That's what the GOP controlled congress wants anyway. They can't control him, but Pence is a straight edge regressive so they'll be secretly plotting Trump's downfall. They've probably already figured it out.

Personally, I give it 6 months. A year tops.

Also, Bush was "attacked" during his inauguration 'cause he lost the election by 500,000 votes but won due to the same technicality (the electoral college). I wonder what kind of chaos will go down for the bigot that lost by 3 million? :giggle:
