I predict the nation's mood the evening of January 20 is going to be very sobering.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Or perhaps the very opposite of sobering.

Either way when all the pageantry is done and we've come to grips with the awful reality of the situation, it's just going to be surreal and sad and the very opposite about how people usually approach a new era in politics.

1. It already is, MiniPoot has the lowest approval rating of any president elect so far and 53% say ...

... his election will hurt the US

2. By January 20 next year, it's going to be very difficult

to find people who voted for that raving lunatic.

It won't help.

3. I agree

I still have a hard time believing that this is actually happening. The idea that people look at him and see someone who can be President of the United States just baffles me. It's like we're all having a bad dream brought on by cheap Chinese takeout. I will never, ever understand how people were duped into voting for him. He will destroy this country.

4. January 20th national day of mourning for America RIP

This country is already screwed and it will become a national nightmare.

5. Jan 20th

he will show his true classless deceptive and manipulative self, you won't see him get out and walk that is for sure he fears for his safety, and he decreased the time he just wants to get from point A to Point B like he said. Or will he throw out any protocols which are done like the swearing in, if he does that will show people what a jerk he is. Of course he will say something to divide people. Or like he said on twitter "we will have a great show" talking in code for his supporters

If we see any irregularities or no class which is a given. Jan 21st will be something that he has never seen before. Masses of people all over the US will be protesting their disgust for him.

It will spark something hopefully in us that we are ready. Never do this:

Oh my TV will not be on.

6. My intention is to be drunk!

7. I'm beyond alarmed

it seems we are living in the modern equivalent of Nazi Germany 1933... I'm shocked that more people are not as frightened and worried as I am. I will not teach school that day but instead will be joining a protest. I don't at the moment know if I will be in DC or not. I might be if I can afford it but I don't know if it actually matters. I'm guessing all the DC stuff will be pretty much locked down by Trump's jack-booted thugs.

8. Is it time to start thinking seriously about that thing that can't be said? NT

[cwydro]

9. Where is that poster who swore it would not happen?

Can't remember his name, but he guaranteed it.

Lol.

10. wait till the end of the first 100 days..

11. January 21st is My Birthday
