In trying to find a silver lining in all this, I concluded that hardcore conservative regimes often spur great achievements in the arts, perhaps because discomfort and anguish are strong creative motivators. Under Nixon, we had Woodstock and all the spectacular rock, funk, and soul acts of the early seventies, along with legendary films like The Godfather, The Sting, A Clockwork Orange, and The French Connection. Under Carter? Disco.

In other news, bigoted d**kheads and a**hats continue to act like bigoted d**kheads and a**hats. The KKK probably would've marched whether Trump won or lost. Just change out the words "Donald Trump victory" for "Hillary Clinton protest". Wowwww. You disagree? The KKK are obnoxious whoever's in the White House. The haven't been enabled by Trump winning the election, I don't believe.

Hey, gang, please remember that insulting other posters is not allowed on this board. Many of you gracefully edited insulting posts, for which I thank you, but we're starting to see name-calling again. This will only lead to the thread being locked.

I somehow doubt that. lol LOL...no, no, no. You've totally misunderstood me. I think the KKK would be marching in protest of her winning -- you know, protesting against her -- if she'd won. My point being that they'd be marching and making capital out of the election whatever the result, most likely.

You literally used Bill Clinton to deflect from Trump's misogyny. Because it hurt your feels to talk about it and admit it. Who is the special snowflake again? Huh? Yeah, Trump is a misogynist. I don't dispute this. I just find it comical how offended some dems are by it while they champion politicians like Bill Clinton and JFK. Another point of correction, some of us can are scared s***less of a Trump presidency AND greatly dislike the Clintons. I live in Massachusetts, so my vote was completely irrelevant (a problem, yes). Thus, I had the luxury of voting for Gary Johnson, in the hopes the Libertarians would get the 5% for federal matching money, but alas, it was not to be. It's another topic, but personally I think Bill Clinton was a medicore president at best.. he did a good job not regulating the crap out of the internet and thus letting the boom happen to erase Reagan's debts, but he was pretty lousy on foreign affairs. JFK probably would be a republican today... or maybe start a 3rd party. His social stances were liberal (especially for the time) but the rest was all pretty conservative. And yes, both men were not nice human beings. For JFK, it wasn't relevant, since at the time we didn't look at the personal life of our leaders and heroes (see also Mickey Mantle). Clinton did get impeached for his actions (for what that was worth).. that at least signals disapproval.

State question 792 finally brought Oklahoma out of the ice age regarding alcohol laws this election year. 5-6 years ago we legalized tattoos and body piercing. I expect us to be the last regarding the legalization of pot. God forbid (in almost a literal sense) people make their own choices regarding what they put it/do to their bodies.

I'm appreciative of my privilege of living in a hard red state so I could vote my conscious and support the Libertarian ticket. However, if I was in a swing state, I'm not sure I would have been able to do that with a clean mind.

(And Massachusetts is a very difficult name to type).I think that slogan will appear on our flag in the spring, and yes it is difficult to spell. Usually when it comes to spelling and saying places around here I'd blame that on the pigeon language that is English but in this case I guess it's due to the ingenious people that once populated these shores.
