I'd like to express some anger towards EviLore for allowing Trump ads to run on this site, btw. I posted in the ad feedback thread and never got a response and saw many ads after that. Just saying.

Yes, GAF needs to become even more of an echo chamber. That's the problem.

there was moral superiority complex going on with siding with Hillary. This shut down conversation because anyone with opposing opinion was dismissed into that basket of deplorables. It shows how hive mind like forums can be, and how difficult it can be to get real discussion
 
Man this site is freaking dramatic. General day to day life isn't gonna change that much. He isn't gonna reverse gay marriage, his stance on climate change won't actually impeed progress, electric cars will still be sold, scientists will keep researching ways to combat it.

Obama care shouldn't be outright revoked without some kind of replacement.

Plus he is gonna be a one term president.

Get a grip guys.

If the government doesn't put the money, resources and time into climate change then it at best stagnates progress. Which is just as bad as impeding. This is a time sensitive issue and the longer we fuck the planet the worse we make it for generations to come.
 
I live in a very liberal town in Massachusetts. When I was out walking my dogs early this morning I walked past a guy that looked about 15 years older than me. We just walked past each other and gave each other a solemn, depressed, silent nod, like it was so obvious that we were both mourning this new dark age of American life.

Pence is going to damn well try reversing gay marriage and with them appointing SC nominees, they can very well try.

Trump has talked about dismantling the EPA, that's not going slow down CO2 levels for starters.

The ACA is going to be completely dismantled as a personal 'fuck you' to Obama.
 
GAF is totally an echo-chamber. I can understand why it's that way but it definitely is one.

all you had to do was look at the debate threads to see how out of touch most people were saying hillary killed donald in most of the debates. The man was getting it done.

Shame.

Trump doesn't believe climate change is real. He has sworn to repeal Obama's climate action executive orders, pull out of the Paris deal, eliminate the EPA, and strip federal subsidies for renewable energy. And his reported pick for Secretary of Energy is a climate change denier.

He will completely roll back climate progress.

It's not about what he does or doesn't do now.

He ran a campaign based on hating people like me, and he won for it. His victory is a sign that much of America does not care about us.
 
An openly sexist racist loud-mouth obnoxious elderly guy who was a reality TV star and had a twitter war with Rosie O'Donnell like he was some pre-teen girl is now President of the United States of Fucking America. Really stop and think about how absurd it all is. haha. It sounds like a bad movie script or bad punchline. Not that Clinton was much better really.

Life is strange.

what, for one, he already promised to overturn every executive order Obama made, tell that to DACA beneficiaries for example

At least you guys got legal weed now to self medicate for the next 4 years

I wonder if he'll get back his twitter. The president of the free world should be able to tweet right

Oh ok, I feel so much better now. Jesus fucking christ dude, are you a Care Bear or some shit, that's some positive-ass thinking. And Obamacare WILL be revoked and who the fuck knows what the replacement will be, you sure as hell don't.

Well, I'm sure some will argue that moderation here isn't balanced. But I'm just going to side-step that entirely as I'm not really in the mood for a meta-coversation about whether mods do a good or bad job here, I'll just note that it doesn't really make a lot of sense to assume that a forum of tech-enthusiast (mostly) millennials is going to be a perfect microcosm of the populace at large.
 
if you ever needed any proof that there's nothing in the universe with any kind of objective purpose, America just elected Donald Trump from The Apprentice to be president.

like, that happened. he won Ohio and Florida. and Wisconsin. more people in those states voted for Donald Trump than secretary of state Hillary Clinton. he's not even a Republican really, he's a third party candidate. it might be the biggest presidential upset in American history.
 
If someone told us everything that would happen in 2016 in 2015, nobody would fucking believe it. This has to be one of the craziest years in modern history.

don't worry, we will have 'clean coal'
 
Guys, Trump isn't running the show besides a few larger staff picks or whatever.

This is Pence's government now. Pence will be the one controlling policy and getting things done with the Senate and House considering his ties to the establishment.

So No Man's Sky wasn't a game... it was a sneak preview?

I too live in a liberal Massachusetts town. Think I'm just gonna sit inside today and drink hot coco...

We also have a significant percentage of forum members that live outside of the US, who are by in large anti-Trump as well.
 
GAF is totally an echo-chamber. I can understand why it's that way but it definitely is one.

The trump supporters that were banned would definitely fit in with the "Anti-Alt right" that this forum prescribes too.

There are a lot of trump supporters in this forum, they've just learned to "dial" it down a bit more than the fervent more malicious supporters.

But yeah, because of it GAF became an echo chamber of self righteous farts and, to be fair....the entire media prescribed to the same kool aid GAF drank.

We didn't listen to their complaints, because we thought it was just racist, selfish and hateful...and now...we suffered.

GAF is a tech-based forum with well educated people.
Usually gamers are a liberal kind of person.

You do realize he can change most of this, yes?

With a republican congress and white house and soon to be SCOTUS, you better believe these things are at risk.

While you are correct, that it is important to keep things in perspective, also keep in mind our republic is more at risk.
 
America can undo this with some effort, the UK won't ever get back into the EU. Or at least not within a potential 4 year turnaround, 8 at worst. So no, UK is still dumber than America.

Lol. Brexit isn't going to mean the kind of change the Remain camp feared and the Leave camp hoped for.

So no, America are way ahead with this one dude.
 
I'm so happy. Someone going against the system, I will always support.

And the mainstream media helping Trump by making people believe Clinton will win easily.
CNN, Clinton News Network, I salute you.

I work in tech. I literally think the whole company is anti trump. The tech crowd is definitely not a place to go for majority American opinion

Conservatives routinely get banned on GAF and learn not to speak, so this place feels like an echo chamber.
