[Stratostar]

Our new future. Trump winning give the deplorables a voice.

Yikes. Must be scary to believe everything you read on the Internet.

 

[DoomGyver]

I really hope there aren't any riots tomorrow.

 

[Monocle]

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.

There's a lot to take away from this. Overconfidence did not serve us well here.

 

[kukubrew]

Fox News just went to commercial on a scene from Trump HQ, people pumping fists in the air screaming "lock her up".

I wonder if Hilary is actually concerned?

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Our children will be be feeling the effects of tonight

Hope willing, the pendulum will swing back in the opposite direction and we will see a Democratic majority with a powerful Democratic president.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Did he get video of it? Until then be suspicious.

It's a troll account, Guardian has a post on it.

 

[Lifejumper]

Can't believe I have to explain this to my 3-year-old tomorrow morning.

Dont. Ignorance is bliss at that age.

 

[HighResTomato]

These faces at the Hilton HQ got me weak

 

[Almighty]

I did not see this coming. Just when i thought this country was about to move in a more permanent progressive direction it gets dragged back.

The best I can hope for is that his domestic policies don't fuck things up too bad, but I fully expect foreign policy/relations, the one area the president has a free hand to do almost as he pleases, to go to shit.

 

[kendrid]

Can't believe I have to explain this to my 3-year-old tomorrow morning.

LOL, like your three year old understands. I assume his was a sarcastic comment.

 

[Kibbles]

Can we fucking NOT let Hillary win the nomination in 2020? thx

Yeah it's embarrassing she lost to Drumpf

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

I'm terrified

 

[Skab]

Its rigged. Clinton will win...

Yeah, no, not letting you get away with that edit.

Its rigged. Clintcunt will win...

 

[killer rin]

When I sleep tonight and wake tomorrow this will all be a nightmare right?

Tomorrow morning the real nightmare begins

 

[norm9]

The takeaway from this election, and the thing we all probably underestimated, is how easily and fiercely stupid people can be mobilized, as evidence by the sudden surge of Trump supporters popping up in this thread. I would love for anybody who supports or voted for Trump but swears they aren't ignorant and/or a racist to give me one policy or position of his, just one, that you agree with or support that A) isn't rooted in some kind of hate, bigotry, or racism or b) is an ACTUAL position, and not just him saying "it'll be great I'll fix it i promise"

Go ahead, I'll wait.

Not that I think it's actually possible, but he tapped the manufacturing jobs that were lost in coal country as an example and promised that it'd come back while Hillary said too bad, those jobs are gone forever. Who'd you vote if you were one of the people affected?

If you were into having a job again, you were clumped together a racist, as is the case in this thread from many many people.

Disclaimer- I voted Hillary.

 

[Springfoot]

fuck you white people
fuck you racists
fuck you sexists
fuck you 2016

Been going through this thread after the results started coming in, and I'm as flabbergasted at what's happening tonight as everyone else here, but fuck your bullshit. How the fuck are you not banned?

I voted Hillary and have zero faith in Trump but jeebus, the blind hate and vitriol some of you spew towards any Trump supporter is as bad as anything Trump has said. If Trump wins it might be karma biting you in your hypocritical asses.

[GravityInsanity]

Christ, I can't even enjoy looking at porn right now. This is awful.

haha

 

[a very cute dog]

Damn, where are these Trump supporters coming from in this thread?

 

[m_dorian]

gz USA.
Racism won.

 

[Foffy]

What a remarkable result. I just hope for minimal suffering. I hope the SCOTUS won't dick over minorities and science too badly in the ensuing decades. And obviously, I hope we don't have ourselves a red white and blue nuclear war.

Maybe we as a country will learn some valuable lessons from the events to come. Or maybe America has reached its expiration date. Rome didn't last forever.

Banking on an expiration date.

How can we, in this climate, begin to handle the technology problem, when Barack Obama himself said the next President is going to inherit it...?

It scares the fuck out of me knowing we are absolutely going to expand poverty, inequality, and the precariat, the same boat that fueled a great deal of anti-establishment thinking...

 

[MicH]

This is fucking crazy. As a European I'm both dumbfounded that anyone would ever vote for Trump and also extremely scared for the future

 

[Krixeus]

 

[The Dink]

Is it? He's also winning the popular vote iirc

Yup. A million lead unfortunately.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah it's not that Hillary is a failure of a candidate.

10 years of smear campaigning against her will do that to a candidate.

 

[tim.mbp]

Just 2 years until the midterms (all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats).

 

[MUnited83]

It doesn't. That crowd is.

and the rest of the voters too.

 

[Surface of Me]

America has found her Nero.

 

[Inuhanyou]

This turn of events is...well its plain shitty to be honest, it is absolutely the worst case scenario.

People asking me to show my work on this. Exit polls show 54% of Trump voters were women and POC.

Of course, it's mostly the white men though inside of a single demographic.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

So then what the fuck are you then if you vote for a fucking racist?

You can't vote for David fucking Duke then tell me you ain't fucking intolerant.

David fucking Duke is getting 3% of the vote.

 

[mbpm1]

It's over. We have to prepare for what comes next.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

but racist Trump voters told me Trump voters weren't racist!

Don't worry; the silent Trump voters in this thread will either ignore it or be shocked that such a segment of Trump supporters exist.

It's about economic despair, guys.

 

[GhostTrick]

America, WTF ?????
Are you freakin insane ???

 

[Psychoward]

I don't care what anyone says, Bernie would have won against trump.

This is all the fault of the DNC.

Did the DNC force Democrats to vote Hillary over Bernie?

 

[Escape Goat]

Christ, I can't even enjoy looking at porn right now. This is awful.

shouldnt you be spanking your wife with inferior chocolates?

 

[bluethree]

i can't even look i just can't

 

[ATF487]

Our new future. Trump winning give the deplorables a voice.

This is fake, as far as I know. The Guardian mentioned it earlier

 

[Cindro]

77% of white men voted for Trump

Oh my god - are you really trying to massage stats to justify disparaging an entire group of people based on skin color?

What about saying "94% of modern-day violent terrorists are muslims"? Don't you understand how woefully ignorant it would be to take that number and use it to cast hate toward the entire muslim population?

 

[alleyezonme]

Well if Trump doesnt get Michigan or PA she is still in it could come back like VA

Dont want to count my chickens before they hatch

 

[traveler]

One of the absolute worst things about this is that the Republican Congress that refused to DO THEIR FUCKING JOB for nearly a year is not going to see any penalty, only reward for their actions.

 

[MIMIC]

DONALD TRUMP ALIENATED HIS OWN PARTY AND STILL FUCKING WON

 

[LiquidSword]

Proud of Nevada at least. Hopefully that means Joe Heck also lost.

 

[StoneFox]

Nobody screws up America quite like itself. We're the best at it!

 

[Dalek]

This is the worst night of my life and I once sat on my balls.

 

[Frozenprince]

These faces at the Hilton HQ got me weak

Yeah haha it's fucking great that she lost lol it's not like there's decades of damage about to be done lololololol

Fucking so tired of this crap.

 

[EatinOlives]

Yup. A million lead unfortunately.

That's when you know it's over.

 

[Koppai]

So the electoral college is basically useless.

Because we need term limits.

 

[Baleoce]

The Democrats will have a new secret weapon in 4 years.

Quite frankly, this has taught me to never count anything out with regards to Western politics. So sure, why not. It sounds every bit as plausible as what's happening atm.

 

[sarcastor]

On the bright side, South Park is gonna be great the next four years.

And Alec Baldwin on SNL. The only reason to watch that show.

People are losing it. Wow. I can only imagine how salty people must be on Facebook and Twitter.

Well we all just thought there's no way that idiot will win :/

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Wow what an election. Come on trump, finish the job haha
