Trump is not perfect, not even great. He doesn't really represent me or my views, as I am a moderate. But having a criminal villain and member of the Clinton crime family in the White House is something I cannot abide. And that is how the majority of America voted.

*Sigh* This just demonstrates the severe divide that we have in this country. It's truly remarkable how little facts, figures, and evidence matters to the now majority of the American public.

I've got to go. Anywhere else. None of this makes any sense to the logical part of my brain.

France will take care of electing a nazi this time, I think it's our turn. We almost did it in 2002 but nowadays I don't trust sanity anymore.

After Brexit and Trump, I've lost all hope, Marine will pass.

 

[Ashodin]

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

The damage will be done... the Supreme Court man.

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

My kids (12, 10, 6) have been following this election closer than Brexit, even though that had more of an immediate impact on them. They're going to be getting up for school in an hour and I know they are going to be genuinely upset. Dreading telling them.

 

[Goodacre0081]

so what does she need? New Hampshire and Michigan and Pennsylvania?

 

[Psychoward]

Yep, but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

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

Sorry, but if that happened I'd vote Republican. Well...Michelle wouldn't be bad.

 

[Confrontation]

I'm so impressed with the interactive voting map that CNN is using.

 

[Machina]

Fuck this planet. We are doomed.

Don't you dare put this on all of us. This is America's shit to clean up.

33%/26% Latino men and women voting Trump is the real shocker statistic. They are actively voting for a racist who hates them.

 

[Boss Mog]

Seriously though, if Biden's son hadn't died, I'm guessing he would've run and we wouldn't be in this mess.

Still I bet he's regretting his decision now, I know I am.

 

[The Albatross]

So the electoral college is basically useless.

Sadly, it's representing the will of the people right now. Trump winning by 1mil votes and an edge in the electoral college.

 

[Audioboxer]

This is fake.

Sigh.

As disappointed as I am right now I am also disappointed at the whole Internet culture around this election and tons of believing anything without any sort of proof.

 

[Kalentan]

The EC votes in December. That's the EC's moment to shine -- this is what they're specifically designed for. They've been waiting over 200 years for their moment and this is it.

But I'm not holding my breath.

I'm not holding my breath either but could you explain? I thought the 270 was the electoral votes?

California bleedover and lots of hispanics have helped shift Nevada.

I've seen bans fly left and right for similar things. How is he unscathed mods? Posts like these shouldn't be tolerated, no matter what.

Because whites are evil obviously

[Pinko Marx]

The only solace I have in all this is thinking that this must be exactly how the right felt when Obama got elected. All that doom and gloom about him taking over and becoming god emperor of the world didn't come true...so many Trump won't be all that bad??

God I just really hope he isn't able to do all he wants to with police reform. If nationwide stop and frisk really gets implemented then I'm legit moving.

 

[facetheslayer92]

Holy fucking shit at Pennsylvania

 

[AsylumBlue]

Lebanon county in PA, Lean left or right?

Heavily Republican.

 

[Prodigal Son]

I can't believe he won after bragging about sexual assault. Think about that

 

[jroc74]

That's just it...he wasn't as "beatable" as you seem to think.

Someone who can brag about groping women, spew racism, spew constant misinformation, bankrupt multiple businesses, get endorsed by the KKK, commit fraud, and still get past not just Hillary, but several other candidates is "the most beatable republican candidate"? Are you sure about that?

I'm starting to think that it didn't really matter WHO was going against him. Hillary, Bernie, other Republicans...the fix was in. The demographic that latched onto him didn't really give a damn about his opponents. They wanted what TRUMP stood for no matter what he did. And, that sounds like an UNbeatable candidate.

In case you haven't noticed, this wasn't an election governed by logic.

Amen. Those posting about the movie Idiocracy were on point.

Yup, I mentioned something about this earlier. A damn shame really..

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

Please tell me this isnt real.

If it is....hey its fine as long as I agree with his other views, right?!?!?!

Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[maquiladora]

NOBODY HAS WON YET.

Look at how incredibly tight the margins are in the remaining states.

This is going to come down to 1 or 2 EC votes and probably several recounts.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

So for future elections is the way forward to simply ignore minority voters?

Its rigged. Clintcunt will win...

Excuse me?

[Fancyarcher]

Dear god. No, I really didn't want Trump to win, but reading stuff like this is equally annoying. First of all fixing the election system from a two horse race could maybe be the solution, don't you think? Then there's the little tiny fact that third party votes would favor Trump over Clinton, but I'd say that never crossed your mind.

Oh I agree, the system needs to be changed. It's just a shame that it's as bad as it is.

 

[Talesofedna]

The people accusing Trump voters as being racists are the TRUE RACISTS

 

[Damaniel]

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.

I'm not concerned about his decisions, I'm concerned about him being nothing but a rubber stamp for a majority House and Senate. Just think of all of the regressive legislation that could pass in such an administration!

 

[helloresolven]

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

This is a well known fake account... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...b0199b93894f4e#block-5822a4e5e4b0199b93894f4e

The account is known in the UK for doing this for all sorts of occasions, usually making false claims about chants at sports events. The fact that it subsequently claimed that the chant was being sung to the tune of “Enjoy The Silence” by Depeche Mode might have been a further clue that it didn’t happen.

 

[kendrid]

what's the maximum number of users you can add to your ignore list?

just curious.

Step back for a second. If someone posts something you don't agree with should you

a) block them so you can live in your echo chamber
or
b) engage in a discussion with them

This is a HUGE issue with our political system right now. People only read what they want to read.

 

[SwiftDeath]

God I tried to walk away for a couple hours to relax and calm down

Is it as bad as the thread makes it out to be? Is Donald Trump the next US President?

 

[TrumanBurbank]

The Donald Reddit is going crazy now.

Brexit was only a small taste of what's to come in the US...

edit: Apparently fake-account. At least thanks for that.

 

[loki 16]

Fuck blaming Hillary for this

Please name a candidate that would have done better

Bernie Sanders

 

[McLovin]

Can he get impeached based on his actions prior to his presidency? Like if he's found guilty of sexually assulting all those women?

 

[Frozenprince]

I seriously love all the "Man fucking GAF it's such an intolerant place man every alternate opinion is just railed on" like you didn't just vote in someone who's literally called the entirety of our neighboring country rapists.

Like what the ever loving fuck, baffles me.

 

[Strider7]

We don't matter.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Clinton could have hit harder.

When they go low, maybe you should not turn the other cheek.

And if you see voter suppression and gerrymandering, maybe do something about it?

Dems, don't trust the Republicans. Don't help them. Don't try and work with them. Don't make them part of your cabinet or set them up at the FBI.

Lots of mistakes were made. And it sucks.

How could that many White Women vote for him!? What I just don't understand this world anymore.

It's because "he tells it like it is", apparently.

Fucking IDIOTS.

Obama must feel like shit right now.

Hes still has an okay popularity rating, he just couldn't get people excited for hillary and came off like a pussy against republican obstructionism. Should have went to war with these people.

Unlikely. If I had millions of dollars of real estate in foreign countries, the last thing I want to do is start wars.
