Are people supposed to be locked in disbelief forever?
Don't be silly. Even mourning comes to an end eventually. What comes next is up to each individual. Go back to quietly living your life and hoping politics doesn't affect you too much, or realize the dire straits you're in and be ready to get active or get radioactive.

To get it off my chest...

As most of you know, last night was doomsday night (for some people, anyway) and most us know who is now president of the United States. Ironically, the countless amounts of people I know don't give a crap about it anymore, in spite of who's in charge now.

The election was all anyone could talk about earlier, and I haven't heard anyone say one thing related to politics today. I know I should be relieved, but the strange nature of this sudden change in attitude is disturbing.

There's really nothing that can be done to get a nation to change the way you want it to, not without a revolution of sorts.

Honestly, why speak relentlessly of what you have no control over?
Maybe it's just the people you know. Most of my twitter feed is still going full throttle.

And if you really believe that this is already over and that people have given up, go look at what's happening in NYC and Chicago tonight.

It is the people in my local area, and that happens to be a detached place sadly. :/

OK, so a president is legally elected, according to the rules put forth for such things. Many people are upset about this, but, as there was no wrongdoing, can do nothing to stop it.

Do you expect people to stay powerlessly upset forever? When there's no clear course of action to follow to fight the problem? Because that don't make no goddam sense.

Wait until homey starts actually doing things in office that we can respond to, instead of just acting like "The guy I don't like won" is a valid grievance in a democracy.
