Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.
This means that Donald Trump will be

election we have ever seen.

How is this happening?
It's the politics of fear. It always works.

from 4318 Commodore Court.
My fellow Americans,
what do humans love the most?
To what do we give our highest value?
Is it family...
friends...
our homes... money...
notoriety?
No.
Above all, humans love fear.
The fear that, over time, we have honed
and polished and built up, brick by brick,
until it stands before us
every day as tall as the Trump Tower.
How do I know we love fear more than our children?
Because we are willing to ruin their lives
in service of some irrational fear of losing them.
No, Billy, you can't walk to school today.
What if somebody kidnaps you?
(Southern accent): Clara-Belle, don't listen to rap music.
You might get bad ideas about yourself.
(normal voice): Every day
we are choosing fear over freedom.
Freedom of movement, freedom of congregation,
freedom of thought... THOM: I'm sorry.
I'm not seeing what this has to do with the motion.
Because you don't see anything.
None of you do.
Fear is currency.
It has value.
We don't need more cops.
We need less.
We don't need to protect the Jewish Community Center.
We need to let them blow it up!
Order!
I'm trying to help you. Don't you see?
They want to be scared.
They yearn to be so scared
that they don't have to think anymore,
that they don't have to want for anything anymore.
Fear will release them from their desires
and their ambitions
and their bullshit needs!
And then they will come running to us like children
in a feverish nightmare.
And the chosen few who are not afraid
of the seas and the heights
and the beasts of the world will return
at the head of the evolutionary table to shepherd the weak
into the chosen promised land
of truth and freedom! THOM: Okay.
Okay. Let me get this straight.
You want us...
to just let chaos reign in our community
so that everyone gets so scared that they'll, what,
give us some sort of unlimited power to protect them?

Mm-hmm. Young man...
I appreciate that a lot of you 4chan guys

now that Papa Bear Trump is telling you it's okay.
But let me send you a message.
This is a blip,
a temporary intifada.
I know it feels good to have your worst instincts validated,
but don't be fooled. Use this opportunity,
now that you're out of your parents' basement,

and we don't know if she went back to Guatemala
or was rounded up.
It's awful. I honestly don't know
how I'm gonna get through the next four years, Dr. Vincent.
I really don't.
My anxiety is just as intense now
as it was on election night.
I just keep reliving it over and over
and it's triggered all the old phobias.
And I thought I-I-I put that behind me years ago.
The recurrence of the coulrophobia? Yes.
The clowns.
But also...
...confined spaces and, uh, uh, blood...
particles in the air, the dark,
that coral thing that's been staring at me
since I came in here.
You have a fear of coral? No.
No, uh...
I-I, uh...
It's the holes. I...
It's repulsive.
It's been sitting there for months.
Yes, I know,
and I have been managing that.
It's just...
since election night,
everything is just so much worse.
This is just like what happened to me
in college after 9/11 when I couldn't leave my apartment.
But you got through it.
Ivy got me through it.
Meeting her...
wanting to be well enough to be with her...
to prove to her that I was stable enough
to make a life with.
I was willing to white-knuckle it,
but then I didn't have to...
because Barack was elected
and-and it was as if the universe...
righted itself.
I loved our president.
I was proud of him.
And for the first time, I was included in the discussion,
in the world.
Do you want to know how I'm dealing?
I cut out social media.
Deleted my Twitter account.
I don't need to know every crazy thing
that's happening in the world,
especially if there's nothing I can do about it.
I put all my energy
into working out.
You do look good.
Heh.
CrossFit?
TRX.
Now, I want you to check out of the world
and into your life.
And I'm prescribing a mild anti-anxiety medication.
Oh, no. No, no, no. I-I-I don't like to take drugs.
And I don't like prescribing them, but you need them.
Look, we're all uneasy with the state of the world,
but your reactions have been
extreme, and if you don't do something about it,
it's going to affect your child,
your marriage, everything.
It already has.
It's all gonna be okay.
Is it?
DONALD TRUMP: ...and a fair hearing
for their concerns.
But then the quiet voices
became a loud chorus,
as thousands of citizens now spoke out together
from cities small and large...
Seems slow tonight.
Yeah. I guess everybody's at home
watching the president's speech.
Yeah. Can you believe the stuff he's saying?
Yeah, I know.
We finally got a real leader in Washington.

that America must put
its own citizens first
because only then can we truly
make America great again.

Why not?
For the same reason I left.
Me and a bunch of girlfriends put our education on hold
so we could work full-time on Hillary's campaign.

you've ever experienced

When I let Scottie Mickels do anal.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. It was worth it.
Proudest moment of my life was when Lena Dunham

I got almost 6,000 followers from that.
Just not enough to elect the first woman president.

When I let Scottie Mickels do anal.
Was there blood?
Yes.
And poop?
