How I plan to survive utter despair if Trump steals the election
[NYDAILYNEWS] In my household, the nightly self-administered dose of anxiety commences at dinnertime when my wife switches on MSNBC. As the president blunders through a press briefing leaving behind a trail of disinformation, my spouse invariably delivers an impassioned stream of expletives at the screen. Then we listen to the pundits, who have lately spent a worrisome amount of time commenting on the many devious ways in which our commander-in-chief could lose the election but remain president anyway.

Frankly, I simply cannot deal with this possibility. I’m already on anxiety meds and there’s probably no medication in existence that can take the edge off the demise of democracy in America.

How does one cope with this level of stress? I’ve read a few articles written by therapists and charlatans that offer advice on maintaining sanity under difficult conditions. Some of these include finding your inner child and living one day at time.

#1 Being a Democrat means never having to say you lost an election fair and square.

#3 A history of tantrums and an inability to accept reality. Sounds about right.

#5 I’ll pretend that I’m living in a world where the brilliant, compassionate, morally upright Josiah Bartlett is my president.

If that's not emblematic of the liberal mindset, then I don't know what is. Freakin' pansy - when our side lost to the jug-eared socialist on two occasions, I bitched about it and then did the following - I got on with my life. It's simultaneously irritating and funny as shit to hear about whining pieces of crap like this 'man' speculate about an event that will happen hasn't even happened yet, after listening to the FAILED 2016 Dem nominee make excuses and place blame on her loss on anything and everything under the sun every single fucking god damned week in public forums and not one single time hearing anything remotely like a truthful reckoning with the fact that she got schlonged.

What a bunch of infantile adults - I hope they lose forty states and the next time I read about this guy in the NYDN, it just might involve the Brooklyn Bridge somehow, to put himself out of his misery.

The first big mistake; watching the faux news; it leads to a bad case of TDS.

#13 "leaving behind a trail of disinformation"
It never occurs to them that perhaps the disinformation is coming from MSNBC's reporting on the President and not with the President himself.

#14 He should just give in and self darwinate in an approved green fashion. Jump into a mulcher so you can be recycled into plant food. It's for the children.
