Whether it was the SCOTUS ruling on marriage equality or that epic blizzard in Washington D.C., anytime a major event happens in America, people turn to Craigslist for comfort and relief.
Last week’s election results were no different. For over a week now, all across the nation, men have been placing M4M ads in search of a distraction from the doom and gloom of President-elect Trump and his basket of deplorables.
Let’s take a look at what’s out there…

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Some of the ads are more sad than freaky:
“Post-Trump cuddling,” a man in Los Angeles writes. “I’m still reeling from this election…all I want to do is hold someone that feels the same.”
“Post Election Erection Lonesome Blues,” reads an ad placed in the Phoenix area. “Feeling kinda lonely and horny and restless and was wondering if there were any cute mad young men out there who would like to hang out and whatever.”
“Discount massage for those depressed after Trump win,” an ad placed in New York promises. “You could use one right about now, right?”
Others are a little less subtle:
“Let’s F*ck Like Trump Is About To F*ck America” a New Yorker posted shortly after the election results, along with some very racy photos of himself.
“Now that Trump’s won, Conservative Boys Claim Your Victory,” another ad reads.
“Do me Trump style,” a man in D.C. demands.
“Not thrilled with the election results, though I know life goes on,” someone in Dallas writes. “I am needing a good pick-me-up! Looking for a good TOP guy.”

But it’s not just opponents of Trump looking for relief. Trump supporters (remember, an alarming 14 percent of LGBTQ people voted for him) are also hoping to cash in on their candidate’s victory:
“I’m a trump supporter,” an ad placed in Milwaukee reads, “F-ck me like you just lost the election.”
“Two Trumpers this morning? You host,” another one in Minneapolis says. “Would love to get together with another Trump supporter.”
Trump may already be on a path to breaking every single one of his campaign promises, but at least he’s holding true to one of them: When it comes to bipartisan man-on-man action, he appears to be quite the unifier.

As a mid western native, and a staunch Trump supporter all I have to say is quit your bitchin’. We are fed up with the likes of Obama and that good for nothing Hillary. We put up with both of them for too damn long. Give Trump a chance. We (republicans) did for Obama and we were right all along, but you did not see us out protesting against the idiot, and you not of seen us out protesting Hillary. Want to know a couple of the reasons? Reason one would of been that Hillary got more votes. Reason two is WE ARE TO BUSY WORKING, SO TRY THIS GET TO WORK!

This is supposed to be funny but it’s really sad and gross. Who would answer ads like this? How desperate do you have to be?

motorcycle to me you are a prime example of an idiot!! Not only did you vote for and support an idiot for president, you seem proud of it. What did Obama do that was so bad? Was it because under his terms the economy rebounded? The national debt went down? The jobless rate dropped like a rock? Tell me, EXACTLY WHAT did the president do to cause you such hard feelings.
As far as the republicans giving something for President Obama, all I saw was one blockade after another! Every thing President Obama attempted to get passed was stopped by the repugnut majority in the congress. I am not sure what your mean when you said “we were right all along, but did not see us out protesting against the idiot….” Does that mean your blocking ALL of the things he wanted done was a good thing? An example of how we should be towards the IDIOT president elect Trump?
Go back in your hole!! No self respecting gay person would vote for a person who said he wanted to reverse ALL the gains the GLBT community has made under President Obama.
You are the idiot!!

@motorcycle: I agree protesting a legit election is pointless. But i suspect you missed 8 years of whining and moaning and plain lies about Obama. I don’t even like him and there were some legit reasons to moan about Obama but they were making crap up…

@motorcycle: You republicans didnt do shit for Obama except try to block all of his progress for this country.
Speaking of what your party did for 8 years your party bitched and moaned about Obama, his religion and his race and when he won your party was screaming lynch him impeach him and people were burning effigys of Obama so sit down and shut up acting like your party are saints thats preposterous.
Of course typical that work statement all your party has ever done is belittle and mock any American in this country who struggles economically such a lack of empathy and compassion its pathetic.

@AWG3126: These self loathing individuals are also intentionally ignoring the fact that Obama is the only president who actually progressed our rights in this country and genuinely cared about our rights and our safety and our dignity.
Nothing but a bunch of self righteous hypocrites so sickening to continue to watch.

@Danny279: exactly.
@Louis: Actually Obama was extremely conservative in a lot of ways and while he was great for LGBT rights he was a neo con in a lot of other ways.
