Georgetown University Offers Students “Self-Care Suite” To Play With LEGOs And Crayons After Donald Trump Election Win

Taking it well, eh? Obviously there's been plenty of reaction to former President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election. If you're a Trump supporter you're probably feeling good right now after the GOP nominee pulled off the landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, winning all nine swing states and even closing the gap in several solid Democrat states like New York and California. The Harris supporters, on the other hand...well, some of them aren't taking it so well.

Alrighty then. Totally normal reaction. Across the country, several "prestigious" colleges and universities even made accomodations for their students who were upset by the election results. According to The Free Press, at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, the McCourt School of Public Policy reportedly offered students a "self-care suite" to decompress after the trauma of...Trump winning. In the self-care suite, students were able to play with LEGOs, color with crayons, or treat themselves to comforting treats like cookies and milk. Remember, these ARE college students and full-grown adults. And it's not just Georgetown that's offering their students a safe space from the scary orange man. Northwestern University set up a "post-election wellness space" with puzzles, crafts and games. And several other schools and professors just canceled classes altogether. At Michigan State University, an email sent to her classes from Professor Shlagha Borah reads: "I am canceling class today to grieve the presidential election results. As a queer, immigrant woman of colour, I cannot, in good conscience, go on about my day like everything is alright. This is a major historical event that we are witnessing. I hope you take this time to take care of yourself.” https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1854245769483547062 Meanwhile, two other Ivy League schools offered students the opportunity to take the day off without consequence if they needed time to "process" what was happening - while a professor at Penn, which happens to be Trump's alma mater, even rescheduled exams in the wake of his election. And these schools wonder why normal people don't take them seriously any more. Look, I get it. Elections are by their nature divisive, and everybody has a stake in the outcome. But the meltdown over Trump has been just insane to watch. Many women are even voting to withhold sex from men for the next four years as part of the "4B movement" in order to protest his position on abortion (which, to be clear, is a state issue that the president no longer has anything to do with, which was his position during the campaign). And this woman took it a step further, going full Britney Spears 2007 and shaving her head to demonstrate that she would no longer "cozy up to the white man" or something like that. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1854263018865242321 I guess if colleges are treating their students like this, it's no wonder so many adults are having such a hard time with the election results. But are they forgetting he's already been president for 4 years and everybody made it through just fine?
