In times of disaster and fear, there has to be something for people to look forward to. It doesn't matter if it's real or fiction. It brings happiness to people when there really isn't anything to be happy about. For me it's this show. For someone else, it might be something more tangible.

Could you be any more dramatic? Seriously, get a grip and realize that the spokesman of this country has very little direct influence on major issues. Congress will never pass whatever ridiculous idea he comes up with. Even if he executive ordered something harsh, he'd be impeached.
He might get away with one "holy beep moment, but that will be the only one. -

It's not Trump that people fear. It's his influence. It's not doubt that a lot of people take his words very seriously, too seriously. Many of his supporters hate anything that isn't white, male, or Christian. Whether Trump means it or not, his followers will act upon what he says, just like those poll watchers who shouted racist slurs at voters.

So Trump created all of these bigots and ignorant people? No. These people have always existed and social media has given them the outlet that they don't deserve.
I guess they feel more comfortable speaking their hate due to the figurehead of the country sharing a similar opinion. -

The "fear" is what I don't understand.

..real life is more important then fiction.
We are storytelling, image-making creatures. It isn't "real life" in the human sense without fiction.
There's also no contradiction between enjoying a TV show, movie, novel, etc. and taking care of practical matters. -

Normally I remember. Westworld Monday night and AHS Thursday night (for me). I was just a stunned mullet after that election result, so I was happy Gabe started this thread. Gave me something to look forward to.

No, I'm still looking forward to the episode tonight. I'm not a white male, but I know the next 4 years aren't going to be that terrible. I've heard far worse things than some guy talking about grabbing kitty

I didn't forgetand I'm looking forward to it.
As for the electionI've stayed away from those threads discussing it. But I will say, that we all knew one of them was going to win. And we all knew that approximately half the country was going to be disappointed by the outcome. I figured it would be a close race, and it was anyone's guess who was going to come out the victor. Now all we can do is move forward like we always do as a nation and support the president and support each other. And enjoy our TV showshaha.
