Friend is sharing conspiracy theories. I finally had to tel him we were going to need to break. Very calmly said I care about him but I can't get with this side of the argument. He said Biden is a pedophile and he can't trust him and he had me pegged differently. And he feels bad for me.

I'm actually not angry. I am sad that this is our world. I thought as we got older, things would get better, but it hasn't. I hope if biden wins, and he is in office he does great because I would never want a president to fail, but I cannot get behind him. I hope I'm wrong in him, but what I've seen, what I've read, just his history in general, I think the next 4 years are going to be awfully rough. It is what it is. I voted, did my part, I can accept it. I also can accept conversation and freedom that we have. I don't see one version as the only version. I hear the arguments, I see the news the notes the background for what each want to do. I just don't think biden is telling the truth. I don't. That's where I am. Not angry, nervous, and worried yes but not angry. I spend too much times these being angry at my children, I can't be angry about this as well. I have friends of all different races, backgrounds, sexualities, professions and I listen to them all.

Nah. A few religious people in my family just seem disappointed but they're not losing their minds or anything yet. I don't think they will. Thankfully most people in my family are celebrating right now, or waiting for the official call so they can.

He's right. The next four years are going to be awfully rough. And sadly he's going to believe that it's Biden's fault.

My hardcore republican father seem to be more amused with Trump refusing to concede rather than being angry at Biden lol

My mom's crying as if somebody died and threatening to kick me out of the house just because I voted for Biden.

So yea there's some cracked nuts.

I wouldn't know since I cut them off but wherever they are I hope they're suffering. What a bunch of garbage people like all republicans.

Too much time being angry at his children? Sounds like there's more going on than just election angst.

I have one "both sides" (very close, childhood) friend who is fully convinced of voter fraud and rigged election etc. He's not a Trumper by any means, but definitely one of those "the dems are fucking corrupt liars blah blah" types.

It's terribly obnoxious because he just had a kid and I'm trying to be stoked for him but he's just annoying the hell out of me.

Wouldn't know. I stopped talking to my conservative family. Keep in mind though that the more pissed conservatives are the more likely they are going to show up to the polls in 2022 and 2024. It would be better if they weren't pissed.

Your friend spends all his time being angry at his kids? Uhhhh. What? Might wanna watch out. But hey, kudos to you for keeping a Trumper in your circle.

No doubt, but I nuked my Facebook account this summer so I'm blissfully unaware of their nonsense.
My kids and I are celebrating, though.

The family I still deal with saw the writing on the wall before the election and are kind of over it.

Honestly this is the best F*cebook has been for me. I've unfriended a pretty good amount of people recently but the meltdowns I have been seeing have been entertaining.

Absolutely. I mean I kind of expected it but I was a little blown away by the volume and conspiracy theories around it. The whole mail ballots really broke some people

My immediate family is fairly liberal, especially by Alabama standards. So they're happy. I long ago blocked my idiot uncles and cousins on social media. I hope they're miserable.

Only conservative family member I have is an uncle that is taking it all really well. He basically went "Welp, a loss is a loss, deal with it one step at a time. Gonna give Biden a shot and see how he does." Which I'm honestly pleased about lol

Thankfully there are very few conservatives in my family. Even my brother whose a cop doesn't like Trump. That said I've seen a few Trumper acquaintances not handling it very well.

I just sent a voice message to another friend "this guy is saying I voted for a pedophile" and my cat had unmuted me. On the phone with a customer. This isn't going to go well for me.

They believe all of the conspiracy theories. One of them is already calling for Trump to use his "unlimited power" to ignore the election and make himself president-for-life.

Cut these people out of your life. It sucks, but it will be better for you in the long run.

I love self-made implosions of the political-religious kind. Most of those folks experience the equivalent of what people feel when they have invested so much in a cult, and they realize it it was all for nothing, but can't accept it.

You only have one life, and sometimes, you reach that point where woops, you screwed up and can't go back. Too bad! No better luck next time cause there's none!

My grandpa seems indifferent. Im sure he's upset Trump is losing but he's not calling for fraud or whatever. Said once Biden takes the leftover states its over.

I honestly don't think I have any trump supporting conservative family members, I have a couple of both sides are bad and generic republican family members who are just acting relatively neutral.

No any of my family but some colleagues...

It's all, "Well I just hope we can all come together and people aren't rubbing it in".

When I ask them why people shouldn't do that after 4 years of Lock Her Up, Fuck Your Feelings, and Libtards, there is no response, they just stare blankly as if their brain just shuts off.

Not a family member but a dude at work was arguing that we should zero out voter registry before every election and make everyone re-register every vote. Quote "I don't want to stop anyone from voting, I just want to make sure it's accurate and they are legally allowed to, and I don't believe either happened in this election"

Feel free to peruse the Era 2020 Election Meme thread and send them some choice picks.

2020 Election Meme Thread

So I was looking for this and asked around in the main thread, but no one seems to have started one. Considering the insane amounts of reactions this rollercoaster of an election has already produced and will continue to produce, I feel like we should collect them and share a much-needed laugh...

Only interaction I have with conservative family members is my Grandma, and she's turned off Fox news on Wednesday because of the bad news. Haven't heard her say anything of the above in my presence as of yet, though she has sprouted "Oh, Biden's going to go to war" or some such and she is worse when my father is alone with her.
