Support NeoGAF

[Imp the Dimp]

Im just shocked that he won by that much. I'm trying not to go all tinfoil hat here but my brain just keeps saying something shady happened here.

Yeah, it wasn't even particularly close. I don't think there was large scale rigging at work either - Hillary was just a weak, weak candidate and Trump in all fairness is a rather talented salesman in comparison. He certainly didn't get rich by accident.
Charisma and personality shouldn't be as essential to winning but the reality of things is clearly different.

 

[Exotoro]

I feel physically ill.

God I hope he doesn't really 'take out their families." Jesus.

United Arab Emirates prime minister official twitter:
We offer our congratulations and best wishes both to President Elect Donald Trump and to the American people.
We look forward to share our message of hope, peace , tolerance and development for a better world.

Classy UAE.

 

[StickSoldier]

So uh, Gold Tower or White House? Which one does he stay at?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Congrats on destroying yourself, I guess..

Define a threshold of self-destruction here. The meltdowns on GAF notwithstanding, Trump is not capable of doing any damage until he actually takes office, at which point he and Congress are going to have to come up with a plan that will actually pass both houses to even begin doing damage. I suspect that won't be a simple task.

 

[disappeared]

Mood will be pretty much this for everyone at work tomorrow.

Trump's gonna grab that right quick.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Already rehearsing the "you're all fucking idiots" speech to my family in my mind

(don't worry, they were abusive in addition to being Trump voters)

Just cut them off entirely. Go all in shame them all for the rest of your life... if you have the stomach for it mind you.

I feel bad for Clinton inasmuch as she basically spent the last 30 years planning for this and she becomes a footnote to Trump's presidency.

 

[YianGaruga]

German TV repeatedly saying this isn't the apocalypse (paraphrased).

Germany is shocked you have no idea.

Im not. I watched the Brexit live at night, I was prepared for this. And the exact same thing happened. I had a major deja vu

 

[darkwing]

Pence supports conversion therapy.

And Trump will appoint anti-gay marriage justices to the supreme court. Gay marriage will be dead eventually.

yup, GOP will put pro-life, conservative in the SC, gay marriage and the Wade thingy will be dead

 

[BarringGaffner]

Your next president (they won't allow the tanning bed in the White House)

 

[oti]

German shouldn't speak too loud about this, the racist and bigots in there are in the rise too.

So we've already started with this garbage, haven't we.

 

[Rentahamster]

Watching MSNBC: "No one predicted this!"

No MSNBC, there were people that predicted this. But you weren't paying attention. They still don't get it.

 

[Bollocks]

All I gotta say is: #factcheck this Hillary.

 

[quesalupa]

What is the % chance a wall ever gets built?

You're asking GAF about odds?

 

[Daffy Duck]

Is Kanye running in 2020?

That will sure be an interesting ride.

 

[Fox Mulder]

So that climate change deal can not be reversed right? Please don't ignore it for 4 more years and screw both yourself and the world...

And fuck, hope Russia doesn't pull something stupid in the next few years because of this.

Climate change is done. We have a president that thinks it's a hoax and controls the entire govt.

 

[Deadbeat]

As someone who lives in a country where we did the same thing last year:

What the fuck, America. I thought you were better than this.

Like father, like son.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Congratulations Asia - You all just got a lot richer

WTF lol swear I haven't seen that

 

[Defuser]

South Park was right... Now instead of Canadians moving to America it's the other way around.

 

[Yjynx]

IF lets just say the economic went down the drain, social unrest, etc etc happen who would be blamed? would he even be elected again in 2020?

 

[Auto_aim1]

The GOP has the white house, senate, house, supreme court and they broke the blue firewall. What happened? In just a few hours, GOP that was in a death spiral suddenly has a full mandate.

WTF just happened?

 

[darkwing-buck]

No hyperbole, how much damage can Trump do in his first year?

 

[SmackAttack]

What is the % chance a wall ever gets built?

-87.4%

 

[elvisaintdead]

Somebody tell me what reddit is like

I have /r/the_donald filtered so all I'm seeing is Sanders supporters complaining about the primaries.

 

[perfectchaos007]

278 to 218.

I'm seeing 288 to 215. Did they take away Maine from Hillary?

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

What of Bernie was running vice president? What if....

 

[SilentRob]

Here's the story of why people:

Such a low turnout is probably why the polls got it wrong.
It will be interesting to see the race breakdowns too.
Did the 'black' vote that Obama brought out just not get enthused as the latino vote in Nevada?
We'll find out when the full numbers become available.

Fuck everyone who decided not to vote for a "lesser of two evils" because of their fucking principles today. Seriously. You and your goddamn principles are the reason a man who thinks you can electrocute gay people straight is vice president.

 

[Kill3r7]

Not really by policies, but it should have been wayyyy fucking obvious to the DNC that Bernie was the better choice. People have irrationally hated Clinton for years.

Bernie had no chance at winning the general election. You are being delusional if you think otherwise.

No hyperbole, how much damage can Trump do in his first year?

He will certainly be able to elect Scalia's replacement.

 

[jobrro]

After the last Australian election I literally moved to Japan.

Still feel sorry for you USA guys. Hope it isn't as bad as predicted.

 

[Machina]

Wooooow, this is utterly disgraceful, and a sad sad day for the human race.

 

[cyberheater]

All world leaders are pretty much quiet which is unusual given past presidencies.

Well a lot of them openly mocked and took the piss out of him. It's going to be pretty awkward for a lot of them.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

This is unbelievable.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Time for sleep, I guess.

I was so fucking hopeful when I woke up this morning. I had a smile on my face as I marked my ballot. I proudly applied my "I Voted" sticker and walked to class with a spring in my step.

Now I'm going to bed wondering how far my country will fall in the next four years. G'night, GAF.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Enjoy your victory Boomers. This is your last racist hurrah.

At least we're going to get some great punk albums.

A lot of guys your age voted for Trump. Can't pin blame on boomers

 

[MarkMclovin]

Holy shit America. You only went and doubled down on what we pulled with Brexit.

And for the next few years, I'm gonna be like

Looking to see what this idiot is going to do to your (and everyone elses) country!

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Only silver lining is that Trump will fuck up all his unrealistic promises, and a democrat wins in 2020 in time for the census

 

[UrbanRats]

Waking up to this thread is going to go down as one of the weirdest, most alienating moments of my life.

I admit i was one of those thinking people couldn't possibly be THAT stupid, but after Brexit, i started to doubt myself big time.
Now it's basically a certainty.

Clearly, democracy was a mistake.

 

[SolidChamp]

My goodness... the hyperbole in this thread

Can I grab women by the pussy and get elected to a higher office, too?

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

I feel bad for Clinton inasmuch as she basically spent the last 30 years planning for this and she becomes a footnote to Trump's presidency.

Life is what happens while you are making other plans...

 

[sappyday]

-87.4%

At this point who knows. Somehow Trump got elected

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Define a threshold of self-destruction here.

Why? They control all 3 branches, and you best believe you intend to nuke the filibuster.
