You should be more worried about Wisconsin...
Well this is certainly closer than expected. Clinton is still going to win but will get around only 280 electoral votes. Senate dream is dead, will probably go 52-48.
Georgia called for Trump.
Ugh.
I think Obamacare killed the dems. The unfreeze in rated was disastrously timed.
I'm actually holding sober.. fuck everything.
This post right here sums up the problem entirely Imo. Rather than discuss why people are voting trump and why they have their views you opt to use embarrassment and mockery.
People need educating, not insulting.
at least i can vote for Kanye in 4 years and no one can say shit
I feel so bad for my daughter. I can't stomach the thought of her thinking he's a normal president. I'm on the verge of vomiting.
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.
I severely underestimated the integrity of my country
I severely underestimated humanity
Fact is, unless Clinton somehow wins in Arizona, Trump is going to be the next president.
I can see him pitching his shitty hotels and casinos during every one.Just imaging him making a State of the Union Address.
You mean the next Attorney General?Watching Rudy strut on MSNBC I just want to fucking puke
Georgia called for Trump.
Ugh.
To add to my post expect to see flagrant violations of executive power. The move toward an imperial presidency is a thing and it has't stopped with Democrats in power. Now we have an authoritarian president and a Congress and SC too afraid too oppose him. There is a chance Trump will commit impeachable offenses but it won't matter as Republicans are in control.
Also expect to see the same media circus we have seen for the past year for the next 4 at minimum. The media will not hold Trump accountable and will use him for nice juicy ratings. Trump will also likely not be shy about revoking press credentials for those he deems against him.

30k apart. Tons left in Flint, Detroit, and Ann Arbor area.
President is just a figure head, this isnt Nazi Germany, mostly what the president wants he doesnt get, people need to calm down a bit.
To be fair, Trump supporters were getting banned left and right, and people saying anything against Hillary
