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.

He isn't even president and he's already normalized hate speech and demonizing of minorities. I can't speak for other minorities, but Muslims are sitting ducks under a republican government. If God forbid another terrorist attack happens on American soil, we won't have Obama or bush coming out and defending Muslim American communities. We will be blamed not only by the mobs, but by the government as well. Do you have any idea how scary that is? The right wing has been wanting to shut down mosques and have Muslim wear special badges for years now. We have people protesting with guns outside. If he wants to pass an executive order to send us to internment camps or shut down our bank accounts or shut down our mosques or ban is from praying in public, there is nothing we can do, especially considering that he will have the majority of the country behind him.

Oh and forget about climate change legislation or gun control.

I am heartbroken and in fear for my and my family's future in this country.
 
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.

This is about more than the presidency. Republicans rule this country.
 
How easy is it for Americans to move to Canada in reality?

It's not easy at all. You either need to have a career in specialized fields or have a spouse who is Canadian. You also can get what's called a caretaker visa if you have family working there already, but you can't work for 2 years and can only work for a relative to help them take care of their family. It's used by a lot of immigrants who have children to bring extended family over.

I know all this because I'm probably one of the few people on GAF who has a possibility of actually moving to Canada. My wife is a Canadian permanent resident. She's also a US permanent resident. In retrospect, it's good that we never bought a new house because moving is a very real possibility all of a sudden.
 
I genuinely can't believe it. This was the easiest choice in American election history. I've never been more disappointed with the American population

Sieg Heil, chancellor Donald Trump I guess.

That's simply not fair. I live in MA. I voted for Hillary. What else can I do? What else can anyone living in a blue state do?
 
It's weird, I'm scared but at the same time intrigued. If he becomes president, what does that mean? I'm not talking about all the doom and gloom nuke code theories. I'm talking like how does the general population react to him over the next four years?
 
Well, USA, great work at giving us 4 more years of Trump news and fucking up the whole planet at the same time.

If Brexit holds as a precedent, and it probably will, you'll see a huge uptick of violent racist attacks on minorities next.
 
Fuck bringing a kid into this world now. What kind of planet am I on where Donald fucking Trump can be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
 
Despite what happens here, America has some deep fucking problems. Even if Hilary wins, man, Half the country voted for Donald Trump.

Both the house and the senate is republican this election. He'll unfortunately have quite a bit of power if he cooperates with the GOP.

You realize he's going to have a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a conservative Supreme Court, yeah? Along with a majority of states with Republican government leadership. They same Republicans who have happily gone right along with and enabled this potential rise to power.

No, he can't just rubber stamp things, but it will be pretty damn close. The best that the Democrats could do is try to filibuster his policies in the Senate.
 
No. the DNC shoved the preferred candidate in our faces. People here on GAF shouted Bernie supporters down with condescending remarks and snark.

People want anti-establishment. Radical change. No more dishonesty, greed, and status quo because it's not working completely. WE HAD BERNIE. But for whatever reason, this board gravitated to Hillary, the Primary closed and the ship sailed. She's too corrupt. Too in special interest pockets. And Bernie supporters couldn't fall in line.

I've been saying it since the Primary.

You all see this? This right here.
 
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.

Thanks. We are not happy at all, and have not been in some time.
 
How much of this is on Obama?
All of it?

There was a theory out there that said that Trump started this crap because of the verbal beatdown he got from Obama on that WH correspondent's dinner years ago.

Trump is on his way to winning and now Obama is now getting his beloved Obamacare gutted.

90% of what he's campaigned on will be happily passed through the tea party Congress.

Hell, possibly more since Ryan is gonna get outsted as speaker.
 
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.
Why not? If Republicans are literally pushing policies that regressed what was pushed, I want to know why you support it.
 
Pretty sure Arrogant Bastard isn't being serious guys.

Even if he wasn't he didn't put sarcasm tag down (/s) or anything and alot of ppl are pissed off right now at the impending results of this presidential election myself included.

You just don't post shit like that joke or not.
 
Clintons Celeb bash reminds me of Miliband's midnight flit with Brand. Targeting a niche group (young first time voters) but likely a turn off for remaining voters.
 
SIMPSONS DID IT FIRST
(not sure if it's truly from 2000, just found it on fb)

edit: guess it wasn't from 2000. i guess not everything on the internet is true.
 
It really is eye opening how wrong poligaf read the political climate. It was openly being discussed that the Republican party was dead and now it appears they are stronger than ever. The fall from 2008 is stunning.
 
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.


How dare you. Whats the minimum of insults that wont get me banned? Does anyone know

You say youre not a racist yet you jumped right to the "If you dont like it, get out". Do you have any self awareness, or.amybe youre just lying
