Corpse Run 660: That just happened
No, I’m not going to take my salt and sadness to team chat.
What I am going to do is try to get back to focusing on video games and nonsense. This will be the last politically themed comic until the next election.
Whether or not that means midterms or four years from now, who knows.
For anyone who read the last post, you know exactly why I’m bummed out right now. America chose a president who campaigned on a message of fear and hatred. Even though more people voted for Clinton (at the time of this writing the projection is that she will end up with more total votes), Trump has won due to an incredibly ridiculous presidential election system where the amount of people who voted for you doesn’t actually matter.
Donald Trump will be the President of the United States and we all need to deal with that.
What we don’t need to do, however, is stop voting for what we believe in. Everyone must either become or stay involved in the political process. Not just every four years, either. Keep voting, become involved, make a difference.
Don’t let hatred win.
…and try really hard to stop picking Hanzo/Widowmaker… I mean, come on we need at least two tanks and two healers JEEZE!
Hey, that 2-2-2 meta is overrated. Give pure chaos & overpower the opposition so you don’t need the heals (and have self healers, because it’s just funny that way)
Oh, and a Symetra: gotta have those tiny turrets (especially on offense)
I’ve actually seen a few attack Symmetras (in Quick Play). They’re surprisingly fun to watch when they’re playing well. Characters on defense are often caught off guard because they’re not expecting her.
More useful than attack Torbs, at least IMO 😉
Heh, attack symmertas are pretty fun, and funny if you put a bunch of mini sentries on the back of a payload.
Attack torbs can be viable if the player knows what they’re doing, or there’s a shield to keep their turrets up if it’s a novice battle (otherwise a nice control point overlook is all you really need)
Alex — 100% agreed. I see so many of my friends succumbing to anger and hatred right now because Clinton didn’t win, and I feel like that’s what got us into this mess in the first place.
No, that was racists and morons voting for trump…
If that’s what you think, then you have learned nothing from your loss. You brought this upon yourselves by constantly smearing your opposition instead of attacking them on actual issues. The left’s new obsession with collectivist identity politics killed its own support and alienated its base.
Most people aren’t bigoted, and to dismiss your opposition as such will not gain you any support. I can only hope the pendulum doesn’t swing too far towards the right in the coming years.
I’ll disagree.
Trump received less votes than Clinton.
Trump also received less votes than Romney. The only reason Clinton lost is because she didn’t get the turnout Obama did, particularly in certain swing states. Considering Republican turnout was lower than it was in 2012, there is nothing Trump did that actually inspired people and considering that he had the support of the KKK, calling his platform racist isn’t out of the question.
He began his campaign vilifying minorities and he ended his campaign vilifying minorities. Anyone who thinks that won’t continue when he takes office is kidding themselves.
I’ll absolutely agree that the left needs to mobilize their base, but calling a spade a spade (or in this case a racist a racist) is just pointing out the facts.
Maybe I should clear myself up – I’m not defending Trump, he’s an awful person, and his VP is about as stupid as any human can possibly be. This election was never going to end well no matter who won. Honestly, I think if he had run against anyone other than Clinton, he would have lost handily. All that can be done now is to hope he doesn’t screw things up too badly and find a better candidate for 2020.
Look on the bright side: the guy’s so incompetent I doubt he’ll get anything of note done.
Video Games, the best way to solve sadness.
Here, have a funny Overwatch video against depression :

For what it’s worth, if Trump does not divest himself of his DC hotel (by selling it or gifting it to his children, for example) before January 20, he will be committing an impeachable offense on day 1 in office.
