Although I’m from Central Europe I have this feeling… appears whenever some important elections, both in my country and all around the world, take place. I feel a great kick of energy which usually ends with some disturbance. I remember my first episode with voices and it was all about politics (elections in Poland 2005). I thought I will be the new PM 
I know these are days when I should turn of the TV and shut my Internet access down, but I just can’t help it. I’ve been up like for over 30 hours now and I still feel the kick, damn… I think I’m megalomaniac… * sorry for the typos, gotta get some sleep. good night everyone!
I feel terrified, and I’m not sure how much is the schizophrenia and how much is common sense. Lots of my neurotypical friends are just as terrified.
I’m from Europe, and it hasn’t affected my mental health in the least.

lucky you. Politics just drives me crazy.
It has made me really paranoid, anxious and disillusioned. I’m from Eastern-Europe. I went to sleep calm and woke up like this. Stupid Huffingtonpost gave him a 1,7 percent chance to win.

I followed huff post, Jezebel, slate, ■■■■■■■ new yorker and buzz feed, Al-jazeera and CBS and they all just made fun of Trump’s appearance. Now they are writing political analysis.

@Sarad I know that your candidate lost, I have followed her activities much longer than you know. Already in 2013 I knew that she would be a democratic candidate. I did not want her to win because there are many reasons as it was earlier in 2008. I hope you find peace. Trump is sailing the ship now.

I didn’t want trump to win. I would have much preferred a Condaleeza Rice or a Colin Powell (if he were younger) to a Donald trump. But I didn’t want Hillary to win either. Although I feel bad for her cuz she’s been waiting 54 years to be president. Now her careers over…

I’m curious if I’ll have any health insurance after Trump and the Republican controlled senate repeal Obamacare. Republican’s won a decisive victory last night and still have majorities in both houses, so can push whatever legislation they want through without a single vote from a Democrat. They do not have a high enough majority to override a filibuster in the Senate though.
Trump gets to nominate a new Supreme Court justice immediately and possibly two more during his term as President. This will have the effect of permanently shifting American politics further to the right.
Hopefully I can find a reasonable job that provides health insurance before any of this happens though so I don’t have to worry about not having insurance.
I’m in Australia. Yesterday at work we had the telly on and people were using the internet to keep up with the count.
I found it very disruptive and found the noise it generated around the office, with a probable repeat of the hub bub today, really affected me.
I’m going through a rough patch and noise seems amplified to painful levels at the moment. All this extra noise and need to engage in shocked conversation is really taxing me.
So the US election has affected me.

How does it affect people with disability who get Medicare??? I’m fiscally conservative so I’m happy our country is going that way in those issues. But don’t approve of trumps social plans… Which is why I wish Condaleeza rice was nominated and won the election. I think she would take a fairly libertarian stance considering she’s a black woman, and knows about being the underdog, but still believes in conservative principles. I can’t say I’m happy because trump is very fascist. But liberalism is just something I can’t agree with no matter how hard I try? Everyone votes to their own benefit, and more people feel benefitted by trumps ways than hillarys. Although there may have been more bias than most elections…in trumps favor. But the media was wrong the whole time. Never trust the media again 
For once Fox News was probably had the most fair and balanced coverage (their motto) but that’s only cuz it went in their favor.
It depends if you’re on medicare due to the medicare expansion under Obamacare or if you were already eligible for medicare before Obamacare I believe. If you’re only eligible for medicare due to Obamacare expansion, then there’s risk of you losing it if the Republicans can repeal Obamacare. But if you were already on medicare prior to the Obamacare expansion, you have nothing to worry about.
I’m guessing there will be constant filibusters in the senate until new elections take place in two years, so perhaps they will not be able to force an Obamacare repeal through.
I remember GWB welcomed Obama with open arms into the whitehouse. Now Obama is doing the same to trump…invited him to the whitehouse Thursday. This notion almost brought tears to my eyes (Obamas classiness). I think this will help ease the transition and hopefully get through trumps thick skull that he shouldn’t be so extreme… I think it’s in the constitution that there should be smooth transitions from elections…but still. I respect Obama for doing this! Although my family would have much preferred a Obama —>mitt Romney ---->Hillary. Than Obama—>Obama---->trump
Since my parents retired last year when they sold their business and cost them 10s of thousands in taxes by Obama getting reelected. We would’ve preferred Romney winning 4 years ago to trump winning this year. By far. My parents are happy to get democrats out of office for fiscal reasons with hopes trump lightens up socially. And my parents have ALWAYS hated the Clintons. My mom grew up in poverty but has always been a republican while my dad grew up middle class, always been libertarian. Which is my stance.
I stated this a couple of times before because I think that it is important not to overreact to this presidency. I don’t think he will get nearly anywhere close to his agenda. I think that even though the congress is republican it won’t completely go his way. Also something to think about is that it will only be 2 years because if he does anything drastic we will have a shift in the house and senate similar to what happened with Obama.
I kind of wonder what exactly people think are the terrible things that will happen. The only thing I can really think of is that Obamacare is going to be repealed. Other than that some things aren’t that bad. Like the lowering of taxes across the board. We will have a degree of protectionism(I think that is the word for it. My verbal ability hasn’t been the same since the psychotic break) though. But most republicans don’t agree with that so he probably won’t get anywhere with that. I doubt he will do anything to disability or could as many republican voter are the elderly.
Anyway I’m not a trump fanboy. I voted for Gary Johnson. I just believe that it won’t be as bad as everyone think it is going to be.

Oh I thought I was the lonely loyal libertarian
Ron Paul is the political idol of my lifetime…
I don’t think I classify as libertarian because of my stance on national security. However I do think he was treated waaaay unfairly when he ran. I agree with libertarian on almost everything except national security. So he seemed like the best candidate.
