Woman voter on NBC on why she voted for Donald Trump:

"Because he tells it like it is"

I fucking hate that phrase now.
 
Trump at 92% on forecast. Mathematically he could still lose but I guess this is it? It's over even though not everything is close to being decided?
 
538: Looking at the map of Wisconsin, Clinton is in big trouble. Much of the vote from Milwaukee is in, and Clinton is still down by nearly 3 percentage points statewide. If Trump wins here, Clinton is in big trouble nationally.

It feels like we are at a historic turning point not only for our country, but what was once called Western Civilization. In Europe and the United States, we are now seeing a high tide of populist nationalism, rallying disaffected white people who are angry and opposed to the multicultural societies these countries have been becoming.
Well I guess that about seals the deal on Western Civilization.
 
The only upside of this whole thing has been to see the establishment taking a huge knock. Both Republican and Democrat. I feel certain that Sanders vs Trump and we'd be having a very different, and altogether more positive evening if that had been the race.

Fuck the same old neoliberal bullshit. Sadly America, being the land of the extremely poorly educated, ignorant and divided, has opted for the Trump version of sticking it to the establishment, which means everyone is fucked.

Sanders could have beaten Trump, but he also could have put other states in play that aren't in play right now.

He would probably be fine continuing not to release his taxes since Trump also wouldn't. Tapes of him praising Sandinistas would not play super well. His inability to connect with black voters would absolutely fuck him without the strongest GOTV operation in party history to get millenials out to the polls.

Sanders wasn't magic. He was unpolished in the primary. He wasn't going to make angry white people less angry.

own that shit white people

I'm so ashamed...I voted Hillary, as did many of the people I know, but I'm numb and sick right now.
 
this is happening isn't it

At this point, it seems like it. I'm surprised, I'm genuinely surprised and horrified. It's 2016, and we live in a world where people know so much blind hate that a man spewing vitriolic nonsense, a man preaching racism, a man so blatantly sexist, a man that should've had not shot whatsoevever at coming anywhere NEAR power, is actually winning this right now.

It's breaking my heart.
 
This is how the United States gets broken up into smaller independent nations. Time to burn it all to the ground. Rip the system.

I'll join the riots when they start.
 
I'm not even depressed about Trump winning

I'm depressed about Trump winning because a majority of this country bought into his sexist and racist campaign...
 
Well this is over.

Is Hillary the worst presidential candidate in the history of America? How do you lose to fucking Donald Trump?
 
I hate to say it, but this is what happens when you don't deal with the problem of "deplorables" beyond just shaming and name calling. You push, and they push back. Whether you like it or not, they have the exact same rights as you, and they're showing that tonight. It's depressing, but we have no one to blame but ourselves.
 
I don't think Trump is gonna be the end of the world, and we'll survive the 4 years, but as a minority, this is legit depressing. The country is voting in a racist in 2016.
 
Gee I wonder how "things have been" the last 8 years...I can't put my finger on it....but nah can't be racism.

Lets ditch the hate for one second. There are a lot of Democrats that were Bernie fans... They don't like Washington as much as the Trump people do.

I am not saying racism is not a part of it. But the problem is deeper then just writing it off as pure racism.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Anarchy against the establishment.
 
Realistically how bad can it get for minorities?


I have been worried about a Trump presidency for a while but now that it is a reality how much worse can it get?
 
Having so many conversations with friends and family about how surprising all of this is. It's crazy and everyone is trying to come to terms with it.
 
Jesus watching them talking to people in Michigan

As Woman why are you voting for Trump? "He tells it like it is".

I'm so angry at people my age especially. You have to help yourself. We know how old white people are going to vote. The same as always. Stop being so fucking apathetic.
