The Meltdown

The public mental meltdown of a large segment of the Republican base as the realization that their candidate is about to lose the United States presidential election causes confusion, frustration, and rage. Observable as an avalanche of threats of violence, individuals desperately clinging to debunked bullshit, posting unproductive offensive posts, fleeting fantasies of punishing friends and family that pushed back on their shit, etal.

Occurs as this large segment of the Republican base gets angry at the fact much of their views are not shared by a majority of the voting population of the US and having their presidential candidate jerking off the Republican base all election doesn't win you the US presidential election base. If only more of their friends and family had realized the real truth as they themselves learned from some guy mouthing off at the bar about shit he doesn't understand, random easily disprovable Facebook shitposts, and from the only news sites not part of the vast conspiracy which of course are right-wing conspiracy sites.

Invokes a combination of horror and schadenfreude in observers where the observer can't decide if they should be ashamed by their friends or family or stock up on popcorn and at least try to get some entertainment out of the shitstorm. That and pray it doesn't progress to some form of real life white nationalist terrorism.
Holy shit man. The Meltdown has started. Look at this shit in my Facebook feed today.

Nuclear meltdown

An situation when the temperature inside reactor core reaches such high levels that the fuel rods (made from Uranium) begin to melt their way down and destroy the reactor.

It usually happens when fuel rods cannot be cooled by a cold substance (for example heavy water) and they start vaporising every single molecule of water nearby, thus accelerating the process of building heat. The only thing operators can do now to stop it is to drop control rods, but it can be impossible because of built up pressure (that's how Chernobyl happened). When the control rods are down, the nuclear power plant crew still needs to resume water delivery to the reactor because of nuclear decay

TL:DR Nuclear fuel gets hot and burn it's way down the reactor.
Guy from Fukushima: The tsunami shut down our water pumps and now now the heat level is over the critical point. We have to evacuate whole wing of power plant and get fireman over here. Tell them there's high risk of Nuclear meltdown.

lyrical meltdown

In a band - writting whatever you want to write, no matter what style or how bad it is without fear of receiving non-constructive critisism from the rest of the band. That means that a death metal growler can write acoustic emo songs if he or she wants for the lenght of the meltdown. Done to allow some freedom to your band and boost creativity. The material can later be salvaged and molded to fit the band's overall style.
Through the meltdown, Joel didn't write anything but instead rode his guitar on his cock and videotaped it. Damn he's useless!
