This is going to be a rough four years, but I think there are two shreds of silver lining:

Like the eight years of a Bush White House, four years of a Trump presidency will put so much pressure on the Dems that they'll have to put forth an Obama-like candidate that invigorates much more of their base than Hillary.

The second silver lining, and this is more of a gut feeling (perhaps purely misguided hope), is that I think most of what Trump promised is bullshit and he'll just reel back on lots of the extreme shit he said he'd do. I really do believe Trump mostly promised whatever he could to the Republican base just to get the right wing electrified enough for him to be elected.
 
You have to be a fucking sociopath to be happy about this. Literally everyone in the US will be worse off under Trump except for rich people.
His inaction on climate change will cause millions of deaths worldwide down the line.

What are you happy about, seriously?!

Don't feed the trolls.

I do wonder how Clinton plays this. I mean theres going to be some anger and shes basically had a campaign based on "trust me! I got this!" and its not worked out.
 
I want a honest and unbiased answer.

Trump being president. How is that going to change my life?

Everyone is about to be affected by the economic fallout of far-right austerity measures, the sudden repealing of the ACA, and global confidence in us tanking.

Gay marriage and Roe v. Wade are on the line for being repealed. There will be an increase in archaic policing measures. Deportation measures will rise. White nationalists have been emboldened so we can probably expect more of that shit.

So yeah, depending upon your demographics, it's going to range from tough to "holy fuck."

Drumpf being president. How is that going to change my life?

Well for one, Putin is now going to rule world politics. The US can't do shit with Trump and all the Reps on power. Expect Russia to escalate their shit with Trump and their bunch of idiots to do nothing.

Expect a major economic crash.


If you're a minority of any kind, you're absolutely fucked.
 
Both CDU and SPD are left of the US democrats. We don't have a center right government, we just have a completely fucked compass because most of our parties are center left to far left. CSU and AfD are center right to slightly right wing, closer to the US republicans.

Don't waste your time trying to explain this ...
 
If you're a white male, life's gonna be good.

It's the rest of us that are gonna suffer.

not true, his stance on climate change, the economy and foreign policy are going to fuck over white males as well. They just won't face the discrimination that women, racial minorities or LGBTQ people will face.
 
Even if she wins, the fact that Trump came this close to become president should be an embarrassment for this country and also for both parties which couldn't do better.

I feel extremely disappointed of my country. We could do better than this. We are better than this.

What the fuck.
 
SPD is horribly afraid of being left, Green Party is dead, CDU targets a middle that noone can identify with and CSU has gone full right.

It will be ugly. Not Trump ugly. But ugly.

It will get very ugly indeed. Probably will vote SPD to try to prevent a CDU/AfD coalition, which would mean we have an alt-right government if that happens.

Fuck everything.
 
Losing to a shit republican, whose idea was it to let Hillary run for prez? Cuz that shit totally backed fired.

Going up against a total dufus and it's still a struggle for her.
Christ!
 
Are people actually crying or disgusted with people just because of Trump? I've seen posts about people being scared for any of their non-white / LBGT friends...the states arent going to turn into some crazy violent free for all place in the event he does win...

I mean I know, online overexaggeration as usual, but jeez.

You do realize there are more LBGT deaths going than americans dying in the civil war. So glad you can be that obtuse and be cynical it's going to get worse for us under trump.
 
It's crazy how he was able to mobilize the immense amount of uneducated. I guess they can relate to him more than any other candidate in history.
 
the one thing I've said to myself as these polls kept getting closer the last week...it won't be close once it's all said and done tonight

if you can't even call a state like SC for Trump and it's too close to call he's toast...right now I'd be surprised if he even breaks 200 by anything more than a couple points and she'll get 330-ish to win easily

also I think they're both awful choices but just the way I see it going tonight

quoting myself...

apparently I'm more of an idiot than I thought I was
