"Down to 0.6% in Michigan, lots of precincts in Detroit, Flint, and Ann Arbor out. Likely to flip soon."

PHEW THANK ALL THAT IS HOLY
 
Idiocracy predicted it.

I am from Germany here btw, suffice to say most people here seem to be so baffled by all of this that a Trump presidency is just an extra...this whole campaign was crazy enough already.
 
It is over. he has a 96% chance to win

Can't wait to see interviews tomorrow of voters with buyer's remorse.
 
Jumping to conclusions (officially the jumping to conclusions bias, often abbreviated as JTC, and also referred to as the inference-observation confusion) is a psychological term referring to a communication obstacle where one "judge or decide something without having all the facts; to reach unwarranted conclusions". In other words, "when I fail to distinguish between what I observed first hand from what I have only inferred or assumed". Because it involves making decisions without having enough information to be sure they are right, this can give rise to bad or rash decisions.


I need healing
 
This is it right here. My view of the silver lining in this is that it can be seen as a rebuke of the progressive left that screams at, labels, and demonizes anyone who disagrees with them. You can only shit on uneducated white people so much before they won't take it anymore. There are A LOT of them, and they vote.

Yes, lets just shift the party to pander to them instead.
 
A sad, depressing night for me. I'm only 29 and I don't follow politics religiously like many, but this is the first time I've truly been fearful for the path this country may start following. Have work in a few hours but man I can't sleep.
 
Nah, its Hillary, derp.

White America needs to lose, especially white working class. They need to burn so hard for this. I hope my parents lose their retirement, that is horrible I know, but unfortunately people don't reflect until they feel actual pain.

Feeling pain does not make them reflect. It makes them look for a scapegoat.
 
Calm down. He probably won't invade a country. We will survive a Trump presidency, we just have to deal with the shame and embarassament of electing such a person

This first suitable post not in favour of a Trump presidency tonight.

Good for you!
 
Glad I decided not to post anything on social media voicing an expectation of Clinton winning. A silver lining of Trump winning will be that all his supporters will get to see just how shitty he will actually be as POTUS and how much farther America will fall under his rule. Hopefully they will finally see how they were lied to all this time by a man with no real plans.

They won't see a damn fucking thing. They're exactly back where they want to be - back at the top where they won't have to give a fucking shit about women's rights, minorities, or anyone else expecting a shred of human decency.
 
He would had lost, even worse.

This is what alot of our country wants. And it's kinda sad.

Nope! A major thing Trump has going for him is enthusiasm. People want to vote FOR him. That's something Bernie had. People here during the DNC were laughing and mocking those Bernie supporters in the audience who were crying when he endorsed Hillary. But that's because they loved him and believed he could create a better future for them. They wanted to vote FOR him. Not against Hillary or against anyone else. And that's Hillary's problem. So much of her platform was built up on why you shouldn't want to vote for Trump. The alt-right, deplorables, KKK, sexists, misogynistics etc. were pushed heavily by her and her supporters. There never was a lot of enthusiasm FOR her. But she and many others thought the hate that many have toward Trump would be enough. But that hate doesn't appear to be enough to overtake those that are actively going out to vote for someone.

This was an election that was going to mean the turning point for the party that lost. It's looking like that'll be Democrats. At the top of the lists for changes should be moving completely away from the Clinton family. You can be proud for what Bill and Hillary have done, but they need to be in the rearview of this party from now on. Not front and center.
 
Damn.... Can us Blue States become part of Canada -_-...

This seriously is throwing me for a loop especially if Trump wins this. I'm sure as a country we will survive the 4 years of this orange ass clown but the damage has already been done we have been shamed as a country...
 
Welp, time to find a cheap revolver, a bullet and a quiet place to blow my brains out. No way I'm gonna last long in a Trump America.

Same...

My life will be greatly affected and ruined by a Trump presidency.

:(

Welp <3

Like I said to the previous GAFer politics isn't unchangeable. I know emotions are running high but leaving your life when nothing has happened yet is a waste. Continue to be politically engaged and fight for the future.
