  1. Its a double mourning period. Officially mourning the loss of a president, and unofficially mourning the loss of civil discourse, qualified individuals, and democracy in our politics.

  3. Mourning the loss of a true servant President and mourning the gain of a true grifter in the Presidency.

  6. You can mourn but the issue is that people actually elected him… that’s the most devastating thing.

  7. Mourning both Jimmy Carter, and the democracy of the United States.

  8. We will be mourning the death of Jimmy Carter as well as the death of our democracy.

  9. And completely unrelated, we’ll also be celebrating the life of Jimmy Carter.

  10. You know what Democrats won’t be doing?

    Storming the capitol like petulant children that can’t cope with losing an election based on an absurd lie and ridiculous plan to overturn the election. Also, Biden will attend Trump’s inauguration, unlike the coward Trump that fled DC during Biden’s inauguration because his snowflake thin skin can’t handle showing a modicum of decorum and respect for the traditions of this country.

  11. On so many levels.

    We lost a great man, one of the greatest Presidents we’ve had and a lovely human being.

    We’re also getting ready to get on the wildest rollercaster ride of a presidency we’ll hopefully ever know, with all bets off on where we land up.

    I’ll be thinking of the kind man we lost. There will be enough time for brain numbing tweets later.

  13. Half of Americans were going to be mourning for the country anyway, considering the control of government is about to be handed over to a rapist fraudster traitor who previously violated his oath of office and his unethical oligarchic billionaire regime.

  14. Granting near total immunity to a treasonous rapist and then re-electing him to the most powerful office on earth and giving him control over all three branches of government with the full backing of the Supreme Court means inauguration is actually the funeral for democracy.

    To those who voted for this you also lost. America and its citizens have all lost. Enjoy your perceived victory!

  17. I was going to be in mourning anyway, so Carter’s death is just another layer added to the cake.

  18. I’ve been mourning since November 5th knowing that the period of American exceptionalism is truly over at least throughout my remaining lifetime.

  19. We made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm while the incoming president can’t be bothered to sign an ethics agreement. Let that sink in.

  21. Gonna be fun to see the price of stuff skyrocket and hear all the Trumpers complaining wondering why. Prices will only go up. Why would an American company lower them when profits are to be had, they will raise prices to match the new imported tariffed products.

  23. Reagan famously said, “It’s morning in America.”

    Trump just added a u.

  24. Man is that going to piss off Trump and MAGA. It is only a hypothetical but I agree with the sentiment that Carter: a good man in ethics, morals and proven service to his country both military and civilian, did not want to be around when the polar opposite is inaugurated. Trump, a liar, a grifter, a sexual predator and a coward – that pretty much sums Trump up.

  26. I was planning on it even if President Carter was still around.

  27. I’ll always entertain the notion of a stolen election.

    I can’t believe America would allow his return.

  29. Many of us will be mourning for more than Jimmy Carter.

  30. Ngl flags flying at half mast on Inauguration Day is very fitting.

  31. I’ll also be in mourning when he’s sworn in, from Denmark.

    I still can’t believe America would sooner bend over for a fascist, rapist, criminal dementia patient who shits himself, than to take orders from a woman…
