People need to calm down.

Trump is not going to build ANY Mexican wall or ban Muslims. America cannot politically afford the fallout.

I do expect a rise in racism though.

If brexit is anything to go by, expect smug assholes to start harassing minorities on the streets out of nowhere.
 
I am a politics and history geek and I cannot fathom this.
Trump with two houses of congress are gonna put a hole so large in this country.
 
As a white male I cannot wait for my life to get better, it has been shit for so long. My insurance is going to go down, my pay is going to go up, everything is finally going to be better. Fuck you browns, gtfo.
I've been browsing GAF for over 10 years and have never seen something so embarrassing. You have problems.
 
Popular tumblr post that's pretty appropriate right now.

"tfw you’re already fully aware of the unnecessary self destructive bullshit you’re doing but you cant bring yourself to do anything to stop it"

Exactly where I'm at right now. Fuck.
 
I think the hate for Hillary is part of it, but more than anything I think we learned that this country is filled with people who have no standards of character, will believe ANYTHING you tell them and are very likely to be a racist (even if they don't know it).

The fact that she lost a ton of ground in Black and Latino votes says a lot. You had minorities switching from Dem to Rep. I don't know that you can peg those votes she lost on people being racist. The deciding factor in the end though will be the uneducated vote which validates what you said. It's sad.
 
Well GAF, I am going to bed. Have a copy of Watchmen on my bedside, think I'l give it a re-read. Seems apt for this occasion, the end is indeed nigh.
 
What. The. Fuck. Are. You. On?

I'm on the exact same shit that the majority of Americans are on that don't like where America is going. If that's a tough pill to swallow you should probably think about leaving America. Of course if you even live here and understand the problems us American people have with our government.
 
Don't know him personally so no. All I know his he represents us Americans who don't want 4 more years of Obama. Like I pay for birth control with my healthcare. I'm a man. I don't need to be paying for this shit and Trump will fix this and rid corruption in US government. He is the President we need at this time.

Human rights are more important than you paying for birth control.
 
As a Brit who's been through one hell of a shitty results night this year, I really do empathise with your shock, disgust and despair. Stay strong, good people.
 
I'm a black dude living in Indiana, so tomorrow is gonna be an interesting day......already had arguments and near fights breaking out in class over people bashing Trump.
 
I just came home after a long day of work and evening classes followed by voting. I checked in on 538 to see how the election is going, and saw trumps forecasted chance of winning the election at 84%.

I'm in total shock. In a very serious sense I'm not sure what is going on right now.
 
Asked if the Trump campaign internal polling was as off as the rest of the polling, Sarah Huckabee tells me it was.


let that sink in.
 
Moving to Canada is not an easy process. It takes years even when you have someone like a family member sponsoring you. You need someone hire you and be willing to go through the process of bringing you over. Doesn't happen unless you are highly skilled and in demand.

Worth mentioning again.
 
As a white male I cannot wait for my life to get better, it has been shit for so long. My insurance is going to go down, my pay is going to go up, everything is finally going to be better. Fuck you browns, gtfo.


As I read that I felt so light headed, it's as if the post in itself had managed to travel out of my screen and went straight to punch me in the face.
 
Clinton = Romney (D) is precisely right.

Except on just about every policy position.

Endless mind numbing inaccuracies spouted off about Clinton sure didn't help this election. At least we probably won't have to hear the BS about Clinton "basically being a Republican" from pseudo-liberal meme repeaters anymore.
 
I don't mean to sound antagonistic or whatever, but did no one listen to Trump during the debates? Everyone just glossed over his blatantly racist and misogynistic comments over the last several months? Honest to God, I'm in shock. I literally don't know how this—Trump so close to being president—could've happened. I just...don't believe it. I'm in shock. Where is America's better angels?

They didn't gloss over the racist and misogynistic comments

They agreed with them
