Support NeoGAF

[ViciousDS]

Goodbye net neutrality.......after the FCC fought hard progress last year on that one.

Voting trump may not mean you're a racist, sexist bigot but it does mean you're supporting one becoming the POTUS. Supporting someone so outwardly sexist and racist into holding such a position of power means you are supporting racism and sexism. Not only are you not fighting against these prejudices you are actively supporting them. As far as I'm concerned that essentially means you're supporting those things whether intended or not.

Now I'm not saying that the democrats should focus on this for their campaign. Much like With brexit I think attacking trump and his supporters has only encouraged people to vote for him and played into his hands claiming about conspiracies. I'm just talking about individuals trying to rationalise away the consequences of their actions. Whatever your personal beliefs are if you voted trump then you support racism, sexism and bigotry. Whether or not you're actually sexist or racist doesn't matter in the ends because you're empowering those who are which is essentially the same thing.

This is a very agreeable post. Deprioritizing racism or ignoring it, or simply not seeing it is a symptom of ignorance. This is what we need to focus on, why this will lead to bad consequence for everybody, not why people are evil for buying into any part of the Trump package. I'm sure a lot of them will come around, albeit a little too late.

dude just took PA

I ain't saying Clinton shouldn't have been the pick but.....DNC needs to hold this L and do some thinking. No way PA should have been lost like that.

 

[boxter432]

Depressing seeing all the big cities, and areas with universities (in wis, Madison, eau Claire and Milwaukee...in PA, philly and Pitt) all very blue but rural and out state areas almost all red driving the states backwards.

 

[BennyBlanco]

is nate silver the biggest fucking genius out?

Even he was blindsided by this. Sam Wang's career should be over.

 

[Burgess_101]

Come join us in the brexit shame car.

 

[SporeCrawler]

And that's it.

We're done.

Hillary was a terrible candidate.

FBI was interfering kn an election over nothing thats the real horrible thing here

 

[What did he mean by this?]

"I was gonna stop supporting Trump, but then Hilary called me mean words and those minorities refused to educate me about why they should have equal rights. Also, for the record, I'm not a racist, I just support one."

 

[JBuccCP]

Basically Obama's presidency is about to be erased. Everything he did will be undone and then some. 8 years of progress gone. Fuck.

 

[Steel]

Whelp. People are dumb, confirmed. It'd be fun to watch the next 4 years of economic mayhem if I wasn't living in the middle of it.

 

[3N16MA]

Not really, feels bad. We get affected the most from American policies.

Being Canadian is always a good feeling.

Trump winning is a bad feeling.

 

[mauaus]

This feels so surreal, doesn't it?

 

[disappeared]

No fuckin kidding.

 

[ryan299]

Any word on the minority vote turnout this time around? I know latino people are up, but what about african americans?

 

[beanman25]

You are okay with enabling and empowering racism and bigotry. You are just as bad.

oh god.. I protested in St. Louis whenever Michael Brown was murdered by Darren Wilson.

I dislike police, and disagree with some of Trump's Agenda. Doesn't make me a racist or anything like that..

Ill stop talking, because I love this forum and I love the community. I just wanted to speak up..

 

[Zeroneo]

I knew that this would end up like Brexit.

 

[DJ88]

And with the PA flip. I'm out. Goodnight.

 

[Frozenprince]

I'm most certainly not, lol. I also voted for Romney. Now admittedly, I don't agree with the things from the past that people have brought up, but they are just that.. The past.

I liked Obama, but I just don't like Hillary. Something seems off about her to me.

No hate though. I just hate that I have to feel scared to say I'm voting trump.

Uh huh.

Yet you vote for a man who calls Mexican people "Liars, thieves, and rapists".

Uh huh.

 

[RCSI]

This.

Fuck Trump voters. Hillary was right in calling them deplorable.

The worst thing we can do is deepen the divide and not expand it.

Going forward, we need to be louder, especially now with Trump's big (small) microphone.

 

[Tak3n]

Democracy in action....the world is now moving right, 1 world 1 nation has never looked so distant

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I hope this mobilizes the fuck out of Democratic voters in 2018.

If this didn't work

If Trump couldn't do it

Then there aren't enough Democrats to matter

 

[johancruijff]

€ already spiking up

 

[BizzyBum]

I'm not gonna say it better myself, so here:

Nothing will prevent global warming. We won't do anything until it's too late, doesn't matter who's running the show. It's only a matter of time, nothing we do is proactive.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Shocking to hear turnout was so bad among minority voters. More shocking to hear that even among minority voters Trump outperformed expectations.

 

[maquiladora]

Trump just flipped Pennsylvania. It's over.

By a tiny amount with 10% left. Not over.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Trump just flipped PA

 

[Smiles and Cries]

going to sleep

sad

 

[StudioTan]

I can't even watch any more. You fucked up America.

 

[Vermillion]

"Is this your first election"?

 

[SwolBro]

Elon Musk can't run for president can he?
=(

 

[Cidd]

I'm fucking done, I'm going to bed. This has been the worst year in recent history and this is just icing on the shit cake.


God help us all.

 

[Duffman]

It is over. Hillary was a bad candidate.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Very disappointing night so far. Depressing, really.

What? This is perfect for South Park

Tomorrow's episode is titled "The Very First Gentleman"

 

[squidyj]

Not really, feels bad. We get affected the most from American policies.

still feels better than being American though. This is how I console myself.

 

[SunnyVi]

America is racist but elected a black president twice prior?? I know people are upset but wheres the logic..

 

[Fou-Lu]

We have a climate change denier as president of the USA. The world is fucked. Not even joking.

Anyone who voted for him should feel like shit for this.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Yep......he is predicted to win PA now...........

 

[UberTag]

This confirms America is racist?

Your country isn't racist. It just has more racist voters than non-racist voters.
I still believe the vast majority of you are not racist.

 

[Yokai]

Man what a fucking blowup.

I did my part, the rest of the country fucked up -- Maybe the west coast will keep its momentum going and won't lose all of what they fought so hard for in terms of healthcare, gay marriage and legalized weed.

 

[the chris]

I don't think Donald Trump is going to be able to do half the stuff he promised(like banning Muslims and building a wall) but what sickens me is the fact that some people voted for him thinking that he would be able to and that stuff like that is a good idea.

 

[Haines]

I really despise Clinton so in a way I'm just really happy she's not in the white house.

Trump tho? I guess this will show if the president actually has any power. Hopefully not.

I'm Canadian tho. Good luck usa gaf.

 

[onadesertedisland]

Goodnight all. Our nation will wake up to a truly frightening future. What have we done?

 

[Madrin]

Yeah, I voted for him in the state of Florida and I'm glad I did. And I generally kept quiet about it because if we showed support for him we are immediately accused of being racist, sexist, or some other awful title even though we aren't. We are tired of the status quo and corruption in the US government. Trump isn't the ideal choice, but he is a whole hell of a lot better than Clinton and the status quo that the majority of America is tired of. #DrainTheSwamp #BuildThatWall

I understand if you don't want to get into it because you don't want to get dogpiled, but in what way do you think Trump's administration will be less corrupt than previous ones?

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Purely anecdotal, but I can't help but contribute most of this nonsense leading to a Trump victory to American religious fervor.

The amount of people I've seen stand by Donald Trump despite everything he's said because he "stands" for the "Christian" party and pro-life is astronomical.

 

[Welfare]

Now, more than ever, it's (un)officially over. Pulling ahead in PA god damn.

 

[Possumowner]

Woke up just in the Uk 5:10 in the morning....Holy shit...that is all I can say

 

[Effnine]

I can't believe America voted in Donald Trump. Everyone failed at every level. Media, education, common sense ... they all lost and will continue to lose unless something drastic is done.
