[Can Crusher]

I cant believe this shit. Shit played out like reality tv.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Al Arabiya : The Palestinian President is looking forward for Trump to push for the two countries solution.

#NeverGiveUp

 

[.JayZii]

Faith restored that the system isn't rigged!

Not incapable of whoopsie daisies, however.

 

[GYODX]

Maybe Trump's more liberal than he lets on and the next 4 years won't be such a fucking disaster... Anyone else cautiously optimistic about that? Fucking sucks that all the bigots have been vindicated, though.

 

[Maple-Tech]

What? The show ended well before Obama was elected.

But he was a Senator

 

[depths20XX]

Can someone please explain to me what the term "make America great again" is referring to? I have my ideas but I'd like to hear what it means from actual Trump supporters.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I'll say it again, lookout for your fellow minorities. These next couple of months is probably gonna be crazy.

 

[Kurt Angle]

are we great again yet?

 

[Zojirushi]

What have you done guys?

 

[ErasureAcer]

I'm fucking terrified. I can't sleep. I'm scared I'm going to loose my insurance, I'm scared of ww3, Russia running shit, another Great Depression hell im even scared of nuclear warfare...fuck.. America are you this fucking dumb!!!??

Aliens will stop Nuclear weapons from being detonated. Everything else on your list is legit.

 

[brandonh83]

I can't even handle seeing this thread title. I'm out.

Sorry, everyone. I am. You have no idea how much.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

American GAF, I have a genuine question:

How did this happen exactly?

Democrats nominated the one candidate with unfavorable ratings that challenged Trump's because she deserved it.

 

[slider]

Trudeau, four more years, four more years!!

 

[Frozenprince]

One last time since I'm on my phone and I'm tired. Fuck Donald Trump and fuck literally everybody that voted for him. You enable a bigoted piece of human excrement and you should feel immense guilt for that fact.

Now I need to think what I'm going to tell my fucking son tomorrow about why daddy might not have his rights anymore.

 

[Sevenfold]

Quoting. Always got time for Scroobius Pip.

Lash out at the powers that be, not yourselves.

Blighty will heal. We just need certainty, and it's all still up in the air, and for a lot of people, it's all stuff they don't understand, hence the frustration. America will find positives but damn it's going to be rocky at first.

[Wanchan]

So uh, rest of the world... sorry, but we're going to fuck you up.

So nothing new, right?

 

[EatinOlives]

how long till we see breakdowns by demographics of votes?

A couple of days maybe?

I know pollsters all over who have ended up with egg on their face are going to scramble to explain just how badly they screwed up. And screwed US up.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

From someone who witnessed it first hand in the UK: This will embolden the racist hard-right and make them think their behaviour is acceptable.

Your best bet is to impeach that fucker and get the homophobic Pence in.

 

[Hockeymac18]

Oh, they can make them come back. It would massively fuck up the world economy and the workforce and working life of the USA of course. But that's how much the idiots don't care, and how easy a soundbite it is to say the jobs are coming back.

What business would bring them back though? Not when it costs 10X (or more) to make things here? And, also, even if you did manage to somehow bring back manufacturing, you'd have a significantly-smaller amount since many jobs that used to be here have been lost to automation.

 

[brickarts295]

Lucas predicted this

 

[Sijil]

Brexit then this... Democracy has failed, the mob is filled with uneducated idiots.

 

[NBtoaster]

Can't wait until the passive aggressive international congratulations

 

[SymbiantXenos]

I want a live feed from Moscow. Is there celebration in the streets? Its mid-day there yeah?

They're too busy bombing the sht out of east allepo rn.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

4 years of Mike Pence is fucking terrifying. I'm still not sure what Trump will actually do. He has a big mouth, but that might not amount to much. Pence HAS done some terrible shit in his run in Indiana.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Time to start stocking up on bottled water and survival gear people......

America just shot itself in the foot and then scored an own goal with it.

 

[dc89]

Kanye 2020 starts today.

I'm not American but I'll support in anyway I can

 

[ProfessorMoran]

I thought Hillary Clinton was supposed to soundly win?

She managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[lastflowers]

Had a friend show me this article earlier this year and it really struck a chord. Tonight... even more so.

[Ghost]

Watching the end of Colberts show from earlier...guy looks destroyed, talking incoherently until he gets to the scripted ending of the show, audience is dead silent. Sums up the feeling pretty well.

[Jonogunn]

I'm in Canada and I am legit depressed over this. I FUCKING hate racism and to see this stupid fuckface in power makes me rage to no end

 

[ResoRai]

Amazing speech! I got all teary-eyed. I just feel this very patriotic presence with him yet a humbled heart and yet a strong willed person. This man ...guys, those of you against him, let it go, lets just let this all go and rally together for our country and for our new President Mr. Donald Trump.

I feel this guy will be one of the best Presidents of our country, ever! He just has this humbled down to earth attitude that ..well , at times makes mistakes with his mouth but he learns and that's all that matters ..you can see this, we gotta let go of this nasty division and just unite! This man is going to help make America great again!

God Bless America! He was elected President for a reason!

This honestly makes my heart hurt.
It's nice youre able to pull this from Trump though, and see the best from him.
Can't and don't think I'll ever be able to, but I at least hope he has solid plans going forward.

The things I've been reading on here about people who are going to lose their Healthcare really, really depresses me.

 

[Bishop89]

Its fucking not.

thats disappointing.

 

[Majukun]

where are those guy who said this would not turn into another brexit?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

We r Dumb

 

[VendettaRed07]

Reality.

Corporate democrats who can't connect with anyone has been our downfall. Obama has masked how bad the situation is.

 

[zma1013]

I'm going to follow President Musk to Mars.

It's all red there too.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Maybe Trump's more liberal than he lets on and the next 4 years won't be such a fucking disaster... Anyone else cautiously optimistic about that? Fucking sucks that all the bigots have been vindicated, though.

Have you seen the goons he's surrounding himself with? The country is going to be run by Pence, Christie, Preibus and Rudy.

 

[BocoDragon]

Our Earth is fucked or rather we are, I guess Mother Earth will be fine after all.

USA just elected a Climate Change denier and republicans are running your country, fuck this

I wrote off any hope of USA helping on the matter of climate change in the year 2000 when Bush was elected and threw the kyoto accord in the trash. We are LONG since over that fact.

America has been complicit in the ruination of the planet for 2 decades and no one, republican or democrat, was ever going to do anything helpful on that issue.

 

[PROh1bited]

Man, that Year Zero album by NIN is coming closer to reality.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

The new disaster involving 9 and 11.

America has shit luck with those two numbers.

 

[FireVoa]

Congratulations to Donald Trump. House, Senate, and Presidency and all with numbers at the end of this all far exceeding anyone's expectations (300+).

 

[jellies_two]

I'm going to follow President Musk to Mars.

Musk stands to lose, trump will abolish electric car subsidies and solar subsidies tesla isn't in good financial shape especially in a down market to survive that.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Legit fearful for my residency status now.

RIP Blacks/Latinos/Muslims. Stay strong, fellow Minority-Gaf.

I feel like it was Open season on AA's before....Trump, and fucking racist goons like Guiliani, are going to usher in an era of something far worse.

This is the most dire situation that we've been in since MLK was assassinated.

I already know that the fight to end stop-and-frisk is lost, and we can forget about body-cams or any sort of criminal justice reform. But what's next? Check-points?

DACA friends....

Refugees from all over the world, Syria in particular....

What a nightmare.

 

[GhaleonEB]

A historic and sad day for the country. I can only hope we look back on this in decades to come as such, rather than a turning point. Because that's sure what it feels like right now.

 

[ClosingADoor]

You got to be fucking kidding me. How...

 

[Fantastical]

I can only imagine Clinton is having a meltdown.

 

[George Washington]

Have you seen the goons he's surrounding himself with? The country is going to be run by Pence, Christie, Preibus and Rudy.

We're set. America #1
