CNN is trying so hard to stay optimistic. I feel like this is a nightmare and I'm going to wake up to Hillary winning. I'm legitimately sick to my stomach.

I need to just go to bed.
 
Very happy with the results thus far. Fingers crossed he pulls this off.
Ok compiling a list of all of the closet racist, xenophobes, sexists, misogynists, and people in this thread who don't give two shits about the state of our country due to supporting an idiot but stupid minds think alike, so please, more posts like yours.

The world is doing a collective facepalm at the US right now (well, except for Russia and North Korea, I suppose :lol).

If only the endless mockery and years of jokes about "how fucking stupid Americans are" that will be incoming were your biggest problems right now, we could at least have a good laugh about it.
 
They would've called Florida a while ago but they don't want us to turn our TVs off.
 
This isn't too surprising to me honestly. Hilary Clinton is historically one of the most unpopular candidates just like trump is. I think the wikileaks exposing how the democratic party mishandled Bernie really turned off a lot of voters. There is no passion/excitement behind Hilary. Trump has a fucking passionate movement behind him. It's a bullshit one based off bullshit promises and bullshit assertions, but it's passionate and it's real.

This really sucks though. I"m really afraid of what's going to happen to my community living in a country being run by a guy who has openly suggested banning people like me from being here. This is stunning.

Tammy Duckworth or Elizabeth Warren. Hillary's biggest mistake IMO was choosing a running mate that does not excite the base at all. Tim Kaine? Are you fucking kidding me?
Can't be overstated enough. As terrible as Trump and his supporters are, he absolutely electrified them. Hillary is quite unliked--this is nothing new--and Tim Kaine is somehow more boring than Hillary is. People have been saying it for months.... Hillary was a bad choice. I just didn't know she would fare this badly against the Orange Monster.

I can't believe my hopes for the future of this country went to complete shit in a matter of a couple hours.
 
So I guess best case scenario now is that Trump gets bored of his presidential duties and Pence runs the show behind the scenes. That's still a frightening prospect but I'd prefer it over Trump testing the limits of what can be done as president.

Trump is a narcissist. Once the glamour of being elected wears off, I don't think he will dojack shit. Like you say, he'll let other people do as much of the real work as possible. Unfortunately, the other people that will be doing all of the real work are also shitty.
 
I guess somewhere a slimy a special prosecutor is combing his hair for the interview appointment on trump force one what a shit show we are in for the election run up turned out to just be a tasting course.
 
This is not just racists.

This is smug liberals, out of touch democrats, the media not vetting Trump because ratings were better than calling him out.
 
I guess the international aid Colombia was going to receive from the USA for the peace treaty are gone now. Nice.

I am at a Trump rally in Manhattan, and thousands are chanting "We hate Muslims, we hate blacks, we want our great country back". Disgusting
 
Let's say Trump actually DOES fix the economy, can you americans forgive his complete lack of everything else he provides (woman drama, mexico drama, lbgt drama, etc)

Curious
How the fuck do you expect Trump to fix the economy? He's so stupid him just being elected will hurt our economy.
 
I'm going to go on a long rant here and I'm sure in this fast moving thread no one will read it, but it's going to be at least a little cathartic. I'm also going to put this forum on blast a bit.

You know, I'm just going to take a moment to say that some of us tried to warn so many of you. The whole "social justice warrior" online movement or whatever you want to call it that this forum in particular has come to be dominated by. Shame and spite do not do anything to help one's cause.

Unrepentantly calling all white people racists and bigots and sexists and misogynists is what brought this on. I've joked on here about voting for and supporting Trump, but god knows I never actually did. But I've always been able to at least sympathize with those "deplorables" for the blatant hypocrisy on the left when it comes to all of those social issues that dominate social media these days.

too many people on the left, and on GAF especially, remind me of the conservatives in the years following 9/11 under Bush. Everything was viewed through a polarizing, black and white filter. You are either with us or with the terrorists. You are either a ____ist or you're not.

You can't demonize and shame people and expect they'll agree with you. They'll only dig their heels in further, especially if they feel attacked.

This is some real truth here, folks:
All the people who are very likely or even (ugh) probably going to put Donald fucking Trump in the White House tonight are not voting because they hate women or blacks or mexicans or whoever else. I'm also not saying that the hatred isn't a factor, because it's been shown repeatedly that at least on some level it's an animating force for all of this... but people are complex animals but you've turned them into cartoon villains and stereotypes without every trying to understand them or why they actually feel the way they do.

Polarization is bad. The right has been polarized for a long time, but now the left is too, and it's biting them back hard tonight. If Trump wins and has the House and Senate behind him, this is literally the end of America as we know it and the beginning of a new BRIC nation world alignment. That's really fucking bad.

Yup.
