Listening to CBC they're interviewing people and a trump supporter at his rally told CBC that he didn't believe trump would win, and that Donald was just kidding about tossing out immigrants; Muslims and Hispanics are great Americans and the backbone of the economy. I feel like many people thinking this are in for a rude awakening.

Brexit all over again with bigger consequences.
 
Boy am I glad that people up here in Canada don't give a shit about elections. I would shoot myself in the head if I had to hear about this crap day in day out for this long.

I'm curious for those Hilary supporters. Is this worse than W Bush?

I always thought Americans hated that guy, but he got elected twice. Wtf happened there?

They did. He wasn't even elected by majority vote once. After then we went into the worst economic depression in god knows how long.

You wanna know something mind blowing. I work in a hospital in Ohio with a lot of women, I'm taking majority women, and so many, so fucking many, support Trump. Why? I don't fucking know why.
 
I'm in the UK, and just woke up to take a look...

Holy shit, how is this happening? I'm really concerned for you guys.
 
I can't believe this. Wikileaks, putin, and FBI actually did it. They fucking actually rigged it. Now we have a sexual predator for president.

ENJOY!
 
Ahhh wonderful day at work today...

*gets home and turns on tv in AUS*

*See's trump 30 points up*

FUCKING LOL America... Jesus Christ. The fuck seriously lol.
What a a joke
 
I remember Romney said he was so sure he was going to win that he didn't write a concession speech. I am sure that Hillary, in all of her and her campaign's hubris, didn't write one either. This could be the saddest speech ever given, y'all.
 
In what sort of time frame are victory/concession speeches?
 
The worst (well, not really worst, but pretty damn bad) is that if Pence really does get to decide domestic policy.

Full on attempts to repeal Roe V Wade, dogma 24/7....

Not gonna be fun :(
 
Hey remember this guy?

Think he was an asshole and utterly terrible?

You haven't seen anything yet.

:(
I would suck dick for this guy right now over Trump. Like 50 of them.
 
If I didn't already hate this country before, I really do now.

I fucking told people it would not matter if I voted or not, he fucking won.

I voted for Hillary, and fucking Trump won.

I knew as soon as I saw Trump running he would win, America is run by idiots and racists.
 
I'm going to shift gears and hold out hope that Donald Trump was a sleeper agent all along. Sent to fuck up the GOP and going farther than anyone would have expected.

I have to give myself something. This is a dark, dark day.
 
I remember a year ago when Trump was running, I saw people in this very forum cheering on Trump because they thought it was hilarious. And I remember back then thinking that this was dangerous. And here we are.

On this forum so many were part of the hive mind of not seeing what was in front of them. Used to using stats and figures found online to prove everything, it was posted frequently that trump winning was impossible. Ignoring the message he was saying and ignoring what was resonating in favor of smug belief that there is actually only one way to think

Man, if only I had the time to find all those posts. Crow needs to be served
 
Looking like Pennsylvania might be the nail in the coffin. Quite a turnaround from it being the decoy state that's never actually in play for so many elections.
 
Things mostly ignored here (or that I haven't noticed anyways)

1) Celebrity Endorsements meant nothing.
2) Newspaper Endorsements meant nothing.
3) Political endorsement only relevant if it were related to backing Trump.
4) There's a large swathe of voters who think it's fine to abuse women and minorities, based on the Clinton adverts and Alicia Machado event at the end of Debate 1.
It's more an uprooting of the establishment like with brexit. You have a large portion of the population not benefiting from globalization at all, and unhappy with how the government is running. So instead of running Bernie we get an establishment candidate.... DNC fucked themselves.
 
Dems. Ran. A. Shit. Candidate.

I think laying the entirety of this loss at the feet of Hillary is a mistake. Non-college educated whites showed up as a voting bloc for Donald Trump. No one predicted the effect that would have on this election, and I think it would have happened no matter who the Dems ran.

Now, to the extent that minorities didn't show up as much for Clinton, you may be able to blame her, due to how she is viewed as unlikeable by many.
 
Ugh Van Jones on CNN was the last thing I needed to hear. Dude sounds so broken and depressed.

And i feel the same way right now. Nothing is gonna get better for minorities like me now, its just gonna get worse.
