After Donald Trump was announced the winner in the 2016 presidential election, many students, teachers, and even professionals did not take it too well. We saw pictures of Hillary supporters crying.<\/p>\n

Then, in the aftermath, we saw things like students hugging puppies, working with coloring books, engaging in arts and crafts, etc. If President Trump wins, we may get a “round two”. Seattle students, teachers, and some workers, are getting tomorrow off in order to be sad in case President Trump wins.<\/p>\n

From the Post Millennial:<\/span><\/p>\n

The behavior is reminiscent of the reactions to the Trump victory in 2016. Around the country, students, teachers and administrators turned to the tools of toddlers as a bizarre form of therapy in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. Colleges and universities encouraged students to cry, cuddle with puppies and even sip hot chocolate to soothe their fragile psyches.<\/p>\n

Cornell University hosted a “cry-in,” complete with hot chocolate and tissues for disappointed Hillary Clinton supporters. University of Pennsylvania brought in puppies, kittens and coloring books for therapeutic cuddling. Tufts University held arts and crafts sessions for students.<\/p>\n

University of Michigan Law School scheduled an event for This Friday called “Post-Election Self-Care With Food and Play” with “stress-busting self-care activities” including coloring, blowing bubbles, sculpting with Play-Doh and “positive card making.”<\/p>\n

Students at the University of Michigan held an evening vigil on campus, to mourn the results and some teachers even suspended classes on the assumption that students would be too upset to focus. One professor at Amherst College in Massachusetts recited the Jewish mourner’s prayer, the Kaddish, for their students.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Seattle school is making Wednesday a “flexible day” to reflect on @realDonaldTrump<\/a> winning because students will be upset they will lose all sorts of civil rights.<\/p>\n

Students think that because of teachers indoctrinating them. pic.twitter.com\/yBXXP4kW1U<\/a><\/p>\n
