Systemic fucking faults with the polls... Both internal and public. No way Hillary's internals were showing any of this.

People were genuinely too shy to say they were voting for a sexist racist dick.

Or

Polling was conducted in suburban and urban areas only.

This is not surprising, I've mentioned it before here on gaf. Same thing happened in Sweden when SD got 12%, almost all polls showed then closer to 8%
 
Goodbye... :(

Effing blowout.
How do you lose to this guy this bad? All the help from the media and donors and she still got her ass kicked all over the damn place. Biggest miscalculation ever. LMAO... HOW???
Jesus Christ!!
 
I want to remind you all that a man who has fits on Twitter at 3am and thinks global warming is a Chinese hoax has the nuclear codes. Please let that sink in and know how scary that is.
 
This will of course fuel the nationalism all around the world.

I will not be suprised when the right wing party gets above 20% here in Sweden next election.
 
Before running on the republican ticket, he supported raising taxes on the wealthy. Don't know if he'll actually do that, but he might at least block attempts to enact large tax cuts on the wealthy.
By 2020, he'll pull himself and his shitty companies out of the holes they're in.

Middle class is fucked.
 
Well at least we know we're going to have a strong resilient President. If he can survive all the vile accusations made against him, he can survive anything.
 
States not currently called:
Arizona
Maine
Michigan
Minnesota
New Hampshire

The combined results of these states, even if they ALL went to Clinton, would still only net her 260 electoral votes. Realistically, the election is over. Trump is the POTUS
 
Why? I mean, I hate this, but the people voted.
Yep. Would it even be possible for anything sinister to be at play here? We've been saturated for weeks in explanations of how our voting system is decentralized, offline, and immune to tampering. The votes are the votes.
 
I'm sick of being told to relax when come January it could be illegal for me to marry again. When my immigrant friends will be deported. When my Muslim friends live in fear.
 
So was Obama an exception? He was way more progressive than Gore or Clinton.

My secret hope is we get someone even better and Trump ends up a lame duck.
The truth is that voters on the whole don't care about policy because they're incapable of understanding it.
 
Effing blowout.

Jesus Christ!!

look how many independents trump won in swing states.
 
How much money does her campaign have left in the warchest btw? I thought she had "so much money they couldn't spend it all"
 
As an outsider chilean hispanic guy, I don't get this whole white self-hatred bullshit.

I mean c'mon, just because you share genetic traits with a certain group of people with different ideals doesn't mean you should feel guilty about being who you are. To me that's just as racist as anything else and quite frankly is pathetic to read.
 
Fun fact: Nixon never revealed his tax returns when running for office, and ran for president for decades before finally succeeding. Trump is Nixon, the only man forcibly removed from the presidency. FUCK.
 
That's worked out well for minorities so far. You know the often stated "be empathetic, see from their persepctive. <summon mlk like a pokemon>".

At this point I can't even be mad at any minority who utters that kind of shit tbh. Because prior to this, minorities always took the higher ground. When their land was taken, communities burned down, them being hung and abused by both the people and government of this country. Minorities were always told "don't stoop to their level. Love and unity will drive out hate."

Yet here we are. If minorities taking the high ground got us to this point, why not say the shit white people say to them? The pretense for taking the high ground based on love overcoming hate was killed tonight.

Quoting for posterity.
 
Not only did Trump win, but he's going to get the kind of dominating victory we thought Hilary was going to get.

Truly, did anyone see this coming? At least in terms of major sources?

It's not really dominating, he's winning by the skin of his teeth.

It looks dominating because Hillary is week and lost in places she never should have lost.
 
So is Trump going to basically undo everything Obama did the past decade?

Obamacare is gone. Gay Marriage is gone. The feds will likely prosecute marijuana a lot harder. Abortion..... might be made illegal

You know how we just got out of the recession? Gone

I also expect him to promote some serious 1st amendment changes.

EPA...... Gone

Paul Ryan's Budget..... Done
 
I'm in college and working thanks to Obama's DACA ... I'm scared for my life right now, I feel so helpless. Just complete despair. :(
