Support NeoGAF

[Omega Kirby]

Dear lord, no. What the fuck America? You've taken the biggest fuck up of the developed world award back off us (UK). Holy fuck this is terrible I just woke up and still feel asleep.

Harambe didn't die for this

 

[Lightning Count]

Clinton ahead in NH. If she wins somehow this will be a comeback of epic proportions.

 

[Jonm1010]

Is there any reason why we'd anticipate Johnson voters breaking Clinton over Trump?

From what i have read, Johnson splits the parties slightly more for Trump but Stein is overwhelmingly Clinton.

Though given tonight, who knows how much one can trust those projections and analysis.

 

[maquiladora]

Hillary ahead in NH and dead heat in PA.

ITS NOT OVER.

 

[Astral]

I sure as hell am not happy about this but I think it's too early to despair. I feel like Trump is a lot more bark than he is bite.

 

[vio]

Is that brexit all over again ? Going to sleep yesterday with people being pretty confident and waking up to see the world burning.

As long it is not burning there in US they will not care. Trump voters that is.

 

[airjoca]

5am here, just changed my 2 month olds diapers, read the news, can't sleep now thinking about what kind of (even worse) world he will grow up in now.

This is the stuff of dystopian movie nightmares.

America, what have you done?

 

[nasax]

How much of this is on Obama?

Thanks Obama!

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Special prosecutor incoming?

That's some tyrant stuff right there.

 

[Zaventem]

I just hope we don't have to see her rerun for the 3rd time.

 

[Big-E]

I honestly feel polls should be banned. They serve no purpose and have been constantly wrong in recent elections from Canada to the UK and the US. They provide nothing of value and make campaigns fucking stupid as they are constantly measuring every single fucking event to the polls. Fuck polls.

 

[Shalashaska]

You guys realize Trump even as president cannot just make ridiculous decisions right? Really blows my mind reading some of the things you guys say. There are laws, congress is in place to vote his ass right out of he does anything crazy. The president doesn't have THAT much power, he still has to get everything passed.

The Republican Congress and Republican Senate?

 

[Psychoward]

Is there any reason why we'd anticipate Johnson voters breaking Clinton over Trump?

No.

I like to shit on third parties but if anything Johnson helped Clinton more than he hurt.

 

[NullPointer]

So this guy will have the nuke codes...

Just imagine him during a Cuban Missile Crisis scenario.

 

[Sesha]

Good night, GAF. I'll see ya'll tomorrow when this ordeal is over.

 

[Sayad]

Wow.. just wow.

It was probably parody going too far, if you check his other posts.

 

[Lima]

$ tanking and € rising. Shit I can buy games for cheap from the US again. Thanks Trump.

 

[3N16MA]

Maybe Trump was waiting to become president before he pivots?

 

[Verelios]

Nah, you don't get to lecture me or anyone else on how we are supposedly responsible for inequality or that we are racist. Keep living in your absurdly manufactured reality where you can paint all republicans with such a broad brush. This is exactly the outcome you all deserve for mislabeling and generalizing so many people.

Right, because just because you're voting for Trump doesn't mean you endorse his views, even if you know he'll assuredly act on them in office.

Right.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Hillary was by all standards a good candidate. Americans apparently think life is a TV show and likes shitty empty slogans. Ya'll would rather have your Scandal show come to life than get something kinda boring.

Hillary is a qualified candidate and probably a great person, but she's absolutely the wrong candidate for this climate. Two change candidates running against each other would have been better than this bloodbath.

She killed the democratic party because it was her turn.

 

[MUnited83]

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 Drumpf will fix this and rid corruption in US government. He is the President we need at this time.

He will do neither, but good job helping elect this fuckwit. Look forward to the most corrupt government in modern US history.

 

[Talesofedna]

the FBI fucked clinton bad. just woww. simply wow

No they didn't. She did everything they looked into. Its her own fault.

 

[Xilo]

Do you really not think he is the golden child of the republican party right now? Tomorrow, every single one of those republicans who stopped supporting him will be kissing his shoes.

 

[Ryzaki009]

The biggest takeaway from this is that people are fucking stupid.

To be fair we should've known this from Bush.

 

[PnCIa]

One step closer to President Camacho.

Its time to embrace Idiocracy. This movie needs more attention.

 

[Lothar]

 

[Obliterator]

What is really crazy is that some of the Obama voters must have voted Trump this go around. Talk about extremes.

Without a doubt, and not a small amount of them. How I have no idea, but Trump couldn't have gotten to his current numbers without that

 

[F0rneus]

Its rigged. Clinton will win...

Come on man. Your boy is in. At least show some class in victory.

 

[Madrin]

Guys, Arrogant Bastard is being sarcastic.

Yeah actually looking at his post history, I think he may have been. Too late now though, he's been banned. Even if he was joking, he should have known it wouldn't read that way in this thread.

 

[DigtialT]

If Michigan does not go blue, all trump has to do is win Arizona and its over.

 

[Alienfan]

Progress is an illusion

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Just call it already.

 

[The Albatross]

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.

Yknow, I could pile on like the million other posts, but I think these are the millions of Americans who swung the vote who you didn't hear from in the "do you know any Trump supporters...?" Threads.

I'm flabbergasted tonight, disappointed and worried for people who will truly suffer under a Trump presidency and an emboldening by the alt right, but I think we were all naive and stupid too. Too much back patting, too much thinking we're so smart and sophisticated, and everybody else is a racist misogynist. Those things may be true. Many Trump supporters are probably racist mysgonists, but the mentality lost us an election that was supposedly a sure thing.

Maybe that's just my anger and disappointment talking though. I've never been so wrong about an election in my life.

 

[ReAxion]

Clinton got NV.

Except the Republicans have the House and the Senate.

I'm a Canadian so I don't know as well, what can be done to block him?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

How much of this is on Obama?

At this point Obama is definitively an anomaly. People may like/liked Obama but that never did all that much for the rest of the party's popularity.

 

[Digital-Hero]

5am here, just changed my 2 month olds diapers, read the news, can't sleep now thinking about what kind of (even worse) world he will grow up in now.

This is the stuff of dystopian movie nightmares.

America, what have you done?

Trump is not going to be President forever. You guys are absurd.

 

[Vilix]

MSNBC is reporting the Canadian immigration website has crashed. 😂

 

[HiredN00bs]

I honestly feel polls should be banned. They serve no purpose and have been constantly wrong in recent elections from Canada to the UK and the US. They provide nothing of value and make campaigns fucking stupid as they are constantly measuring every single fucking event to the polls. Fuck polls.

I think your anger may be misdirected.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Is there a chance this actually does unite congress against Trump?

...

Desperately looking for a silver lining

Even if they hate him this is the Republicans chance to run all levers of government and will be very busy passing every conservative bill they can.

 

[White Wolf]

Gee I hope third party voters are happy now.

whut, why? because they exercised their democratic right? you could argue that "it's the fault of hillary voters", they could've voted jill stein and then she'd win, amirite?

only 2 types of people to blame: trump voters to begin with, and then hillary herself. her image just didn't do her any good, and that's primarily why she lost.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Michigan is looking encouraging, but now I see him catching up in Minnesota? Wow

True. A completely red Senate and House doesn't bode well though. Also judge pick.

 

[JaseMath]

I'm trying to imagine Donald Trump at the podium during during a State of the Union address and, in between smatterings of applause, closes out the night by saying "...God bless the United States of America" and I just can't do it.

 

[lt519]

Well certainly pulling my money out of the market first thing in the morning till that shit settles out, going to be a 10℅ sell off at a minimum.

True. A completely red Senate and House doesn't bode well though. Also judge pick.

Judge pick is by far the most impactful thing of all of this. Will affect America long after he is gone.

If the president wanted he could outright ignore the decisions of the supreme court. It would cause a constitutional crisis but he could do it.

 

[Steel]

So, how long until Trump tries to throw Hillary in jail?

 

[SOLDIER]

The biggest takeaway from this is that people are fucking stupid.

Yep, including the people who genuinely believe concentration camps will come back and minorities will be shot in the streets.

Like I get the disappointment, the disgust, the worry that the country will be run by an idiot who's all talk and all bluster.

But speaking as someone who did not vote for Trump but who does advocate rationalism, I'm pretty sure that genocide isn't going to get legalized.

Just a feeling.

 

[wbEMX]

First Brexit, now Trump. Germany might as well elect a fucking Nazi next year. Everything seems to be possible with the idiocy going around.

I am legit shook. I feel with you Americans who are directly impacted by this idiot.

 

[SolidSnakex]

How much of this is on Obama?

The guy with the rather high approval rating?
