Sending Love from brazil

I know how it is to have a shitty president. Trump winning... well if he wins... that's a Fucking disaster. Mankind pls.

Buckle up. Its bad. Stay strong people.

 

[mackaveli]

Guess there will never be a woman president in the US after tonight.

Probably nothing but white men going forward.

 

[labx]

Guys you are welcome to Colombia.

ACA is dead. People with pre existing condition will now not get healthcare. Don't have money? Tough shit. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, if you can even stand up. Potential for Medicare to be turned into a voucher program.

Immigration reform is dead. Some form of increased border presence will absolutely happen. Even if it is just an expensive ineffectual wall. Deportations of some measure will happen. Anti-immigrant sentiment will become more accepted and normalized. If you are hispanic you are going to have a rough time. Muslim? Good luck.

Conservative SC for a generation or more. Expect to see more rulings in the vein of Citizens United. Corporations will be cemented as people and they have more money and power than you. Oh and forget about restoring the VRA. Voter suppression of minorities will continue throughout the country. Gay marriage is probably unlikely to be affected but negative rulings against transgender rights may be common place at least at the state level. Republican gerrymandering will continue further cementing control across the country.

Foreign policy wise expect the US to get more heavily entangled in the middle east and a George W. Bush level x 100 of general disrespect toward our allies. Also expect to see a level of nationalist fervor unprecedented in American politics. Putin will be given free reign. We will also see unnecessary and potentially massive increases in military spending. Potential is also here for American forces to support goals that more align with Putin's than the overall wishes of NATO. Any hopes for "small" government will be eradicated by money thrown away in foreign entanglements.

As for the economy Trump is not going to help working class people in places like Michigan. Their jobs are not coming back. The Republican party will not spend the money necessary to help them retrain and enter new fields. Creating a green manufacturing industry was one possible way for this happen. It won't. Trump believes global warming is a conspiracy created by the Chinese.

Taxes will be cut drastically for the 1%. This will further exacerbate the divide between the rich and poor. There will not be an increase in the minimum wage. Government will continue to subsidize the wages of companies like Walmart with food stamps, medicaid and other welfare programs. The people that voted Trump will be the ones most affected by this and they will just blame minorities. Many will also now go without healthcare as the ACA will be destroyed, leaving those that qualified for medicaid or subsidized care without options. They will just blame minorities and many will blame Obamacare long after its dead.

As far as the American political climate Trump's election will make the white nationalist candidate commonplace. You will see many mini-Trumps at the state level across the nation. Qualifications for office like experience in law or politics on some level will now be considered as not required. Celebrities will more likely to run and more likely to win. The American people will reward Republicans for a functioning government not caring that the only reason it is functioning is that Republicans are in full control and no longer obstructing everything.

Following this in 2020 America will re-elect Donald Trump

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Especially the bolded.

Rough decades ahead.

Wife and I are planning on moving in with my brother in California, fuck Florida forever now, and are looking into immigration as she had family all over Europe. I can't believe this.

 

[Grug]

Maybe it's just America's time.

All empires must eventually fall. This just looks like collective mass suicide.

 

[Steel]

I want a honest and unbiased answer.

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

Immediate? Stock market crash. After he replaces Obama: He has a blank check from the tea party. His tax plan will cause stock market crash and debt explosion(20 trillion more dollars). He'll cut trade agreements, causing further stock market crashes. He'll get rid of Climate change agreements. If you're a woman, roe v wade gone. If you're LGBT gay marriage gone.

Economically we're fucked and we're gonna bring the rest of the world with us.

 

[Papercuts]

I wonder what Trump's going to do considering I'm not convinced he actually thought he was going to win

I could never shake the feeling too. Like right this moment he has to be with everyone else thinking "what in the actual fuck".

 

[Burning Justice]

Without Wisconsin or Iowa, the best she can do is tie... and a tie is a win for Trump. Fuck.

 

[User Name Here]

Trump is going to make so much cash while president. It's going to be crazy.

On a side note, I always say that when I think of America, I think Trump. Thanks for proving me right 'murica.

 

[RainForce]

If you're a white male, life's gonna be good.

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

Whites are fucked too, albeit not as much. I'm a business owner and I'm worried as hell.

 

[RDreamer]

Hopefully he does something to get himself impeached.

Because we're so much better off with Mike fucking Pence as president?

 

[Elfstruck]

Guys. We in Canada welcome u

You guys need an oncologist? If you do, I'm packing tonight.

 

[- J - D -]

Yo wtf, Michigan counts votes slower than Robocop walks.

 

[GodParticle]

This is some video game alternate reality shit going down right now

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Tapping out of the thread and going to sleep.

If by a miracle this turns around then I'll be happy.

But ignorance and hate won again.

 

[Monster Zero]

Right on queue, cowardly posters who never'd show up in a political thread are getting their drive bys in

Supporting a racist makes you a racist

To be fair, Trump supporters were getting banned left and right, and people saying anything against Hillary

 

[Nico_D]

Democracy was a mistake.

Every system this far has been. Because there's people involved. I've been infinitely disappointed in democrazy for the last few years. It doesn't work. Idk what does

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Assuming most of them are legally citizens, the thought process is probably this:

"Fuck you, got mine"

The crazy thing about it is Cubans were legal instantly because they're fucking refugees. Country just wasn't ready for a woman president is my rationale.

 

[Bsigg12]

I'll say it again:

I don't understand the nearly even split in almost EVERY STATE.

What is that about? It's strange, not from a candidate perspective, but from a statistical one.

People not reacting to pollsters/not wanting to talk about who they're voting for because of social stigma. The polling prior to today can essentially be thrown out the window it's so off.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Damn this is not what I expected to wake up to.

 

[Fox Mulder]

We survived 8 years of Bush. We can survive 4 of Trump. Stay strong people!

It's going to be rough. Gerrymandered states, house and Senate lost, and the DNC is corrupt and rotten from the inside.

Rebuilding time.

 

[uncredited male]

I wonder what Trump's going to do considering I'm not convinced he actually thought he was going to win

That is what Pence is for.

 

[The Silver]

America electing Trump

Russia going full Cold War

Brexit and Middle East immigration fueling rise in Europe's right wing

China being a bursting bubble

Eh we'll be fine, we can get through it.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

This is how I see it hopefully playing out

Trump already took Iowa...soooo no.

 

[R0ckman]

Hmmm... better buy a gun. But considering police officers are terrfied of me for just blinking...

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I'm partially ashamed to say it but I hope blue collar Americans feel more pain after this election. Republicans are going to control all aspects of our government for an entire generation, a generation. So buckle up.

America deserves this so hard. So damn hard.

yep. i'm comfortably white collar middle class (still early in my career) and all i can think is that i hope the lumps that i feel will come for them, do come. reap what you sow bigots

 

[God Dayumm]

Compilation of all the closet trump supporters, I couldn't be arsed to keep up with the thread. Thanks for supporting a bunch of repugnant shit. -_-

At least a couple of those posters are huge lefties that wouldn never support Trump. They are just making fun of the mediocre Clinton campaign

 

[Supast4r]

Yeah, the Democrats have no minor leagues really.

Bernie runs again. Why he fuck did Biden not run?????

 

[Kouichi]

Man this is so depressing.

 

[brandonh83]

I do not accept this.

 

[Irnbru]

Congrats rascists

 

[Usobuko]

Climate change agreement is going down the drain.

Thanks.

Signed,
Rest of the World.

 

[malfcn]

So what happens to all the open enrollments for health care we all completed?

 

[jmdajr]

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.

Congress will keep him in check. Gonna be a huge reality check when he doesn't do shit for rural American.

 

[baxter2231]

She needs Iowa otherwise she can only tie, from what i see, thats assuming she pulls Michigan out of a hat lol.

 

[Teknoman]

Because shit already sucks for minorities and is unacceptable. Things are going to only get worse for us. Any amount is too much.

True, no arguments there...but I dont think that was going to change even if Hillary won. It didnt with Obama, my life wasnt any worse/better under Bush either. Haters are going to come out in droves either way.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

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.

Because threats and violence against minorities and the LGBT community are real and not imaginary. Trump making them more brazen and outspoken, plus Supreme Court vacancy, makes it more than likely some decisions made by the Court can be reversed.

 

[_Nemo]

Loving how little brother Canada is becoming the hero in all this lolll.

 

[Relix]

Can't sleep well. Logged back in.... Yes, Trump won. Holy shit is stuff going to be weird now. Such a sad day :/

 

[JustenP88]

Are people still pretending there's no way a significant portion of them were motivated by one of Donald's main talking points.

Of course a good amount of his voters are motivated by some disgusting nonsense. But you don't need 100% of his voters to swing this election. Shit, you don't even need 10%.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Unbelievable. Just absolutely unreal. What an absolute failure. I feel so bad for everyone that's gonna be hurt as a result of this.

 

[Chuckl3s]

Hey at least the Cubs won the World Series.

 

[Kintaco]

I'm honestly not seeing a path for Clinton, am I wrong?

 

[the_sun_king]

We survived 8 years of Bush. We can survive 4 of Trump. Stay strong people!

Remember what we had during the Bush years though? 9/11, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the implosion of the housing market that lead to the recession...

Well, for the last 8 years I was proud to be an American again. Now it's let's do the time warp again. Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Man this is so depressing.

what's wrong?

 

[Compsiox]

Guess there will never be a woman president in the US after tonight.

Probably nothing but white men going forward.

She's not the person you want to be the first woman president.

 

[kitchenmotors]

I'm legit stressing out, as a minority and a gay male.

Really disappointed.

 

[terencecah]

How is trump winning going to affect the Supreme Court?

 

[Jigorath]

Goddamnit Biden, why didn't you run ;__;
