I've been in tears all night and morning. Called in sick to work

[toesonthenose]

I have these felon supporters at work that are going to low key torment me, they have been for months. I can't even muster the strength to get out of bed. This is the worst day in my life. Our country is finished. felon is going to destroy this country and it will be a dictatorship before all is said and done.

1. Call in sick

Fuck going in. Never discuss politics at work with coworkers. Now when you go in, just grey rock them.

Take a few days off if you can. Good luck. I'm sorry

[toesonthenose]

5. Thank you, and i did. I don't discuss politics, but they know and troll me

SIgn me up for text messages, emails, etc... I don't discuss politics, but because I don't agree lockstep with the mouth breathing knuckle draggers there (not everyone, but a select few are), they have deduced that i am not a magat. I love my job, and refuse to quit. But maybe it is time. Just so crushing in so many ways.

Thank you for your reply, it means so much to me!!!

6. Itll be okay

Personally, I felt he was going to win. So, I'm disappointed but not surprised.

11. We May Be Okay... A Fascist Theocracy Though Is Definitely Not Okay...

We're heading into dangerous times.

McCarthy ain't got shit on these assholes.

This is a maelstrom of fascist depravity in the worlds only SuperPower...

It does not portend good things to come.

12. Well, I'm trying to comfort someone

Personally, ì consider democracy over, losing my earned benefits, violence, and latinos (even those who voted for him) being fucked with...rfk in charge of health, Putin is super happy... fatso may set off a nuke. Its going to be dystopian. I expected him to win tho. So I'm not as upset as i was in 2016

14. I As Well Wish To Comfort This Individual... No Insult Is Intended To You...

I'm in Louisiana where we've been under fascist rule since Jeff Landry became governor.

We're considering leaving the country...

We're considering all of our options...

While we still have options to choose...

17. Ok, if you're being harassed at work, go to personnel. But first, get some evidence. When you return to work, go in,

set your phone to the record feature in the photo app and place it on put your desk somewhere that it will capture people who approach your desk. Then as co-workers come up to “troll” you, call them by name and ask them to just leave you alone. Just keep on doing this until those who have been harassing you have shown up. Then go to personnel and report them. They shouldn’t be allowed to do this at work and if management continues to allow it, then whether you love the job or not, it’s not worth the misery. Also, now you have evidence in order to file a complaint with the appropriate agency.

2. Help Is A Phone Call Away!!!

1 [phone] Suicide Prevention Hotline

Reach out...
You'll be glad you did...

[toesonthenose]

7. Thank you. Definitely not at that point.

That might have been a poor choice to say all alone in the house. I am, but didn't mean it to come across as reaching the level of self harm. More meant it that I just need interaction with like minded people. Thank you, I will edit my post as I see how that was poorly worded.

9. Hugs From Here Y'all... I And Mine And All The Rest Of The Participants Of This Forum Are Experiencing Despair With You

[Ocelot II]

3. You aren't alone. If I weren't retired I'd probably call in sick, too.

As it is I'm probably going to sit around and brood for awhile and try to figure out where I go with all this anger and frustration and shock, but I have things I have to do and I will do them. It will be really hard but we have to work together, do whatever small things we can to help others, find a cause, don't let them make us despair. We are alive. We have purpose and agency. We aren't helpless. Take some time off but don't give up.

4. Do you have family you can call? Children you can reach out to? TFG can't do anything for a while yet. Stay calm.

[toesonthenose]

8. Uggg, sadly my family support a felonious traitor.

I love my DU family, than you for being there!

10. I worked alongside Republican ass kissers my

whole life. Thank goodness I'm retired, because I wouldn't want to face their fascist mugs today. Best advice I can give you when you do go in, hold your head high because you are on the side of decency and truth.

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN!

13. Nine months to retirement

Same here. I work amongst a bunch of Trumpers and I guarantee that they have NO CLUE what they are going to get over the next year or two. They are not intelligent and they are not socially aware at all.

I cannot wait for the moment in time when I never have to see or hear any of them again.

[TheBadWolf]

15. I'll have to call in today as well.

Last night was the first time in my 48 years on Earth I was too angry to get a minute of sleep. Also, it's a long shot because political affiliations aren't a protected group AFAIK, but I might explore a harassment claim against your asshole coworkers as well.

16. First of all, you know you're absolutely NOT alone, right?

So many are feeling just like you today..My husband -- a 'strong silent' type if there if there ever was one -- was so upset last night, he had to take a tranquilizer, which he NEVER does.
You say you're alone, right?..Although it sounds like you did the right thing taking the day off of work, you might want to get out of the house, at least for awhile, or call someone over..Alone isn't what you want to be now..I think that's important to remember. Beyond doing those things you can, such as what I've suggested, the best advice I've ever gotten when feeling shocked "overwhelmed", is: Take.It. One.Day. At. A.Time...It works for me every time. Keep in touch here on DU and, feel better.
