Nobody should be laughing now or ever.
A guy who literally thinks Hillary would have attacked Russia is calling others gullible and irrational.
The irony is thick.

Of course he will. It's been done in the UK.
It's can still be applied and probably will through a Trump presidency:

Pivot is happening any day now...
And that Trump knows how to play the media. Boy, he said disgusting things in private knowing they would leak years later.

Is it chilling to anyone else that all of the GG'ers from last couple years (has it been that long) are the exact people who were most riled up about the idea of Hillary as President? She could have been the best candidate the country has ever seen, and I'm sure the bile would still have been just terrible from the most vocal opposition. Trump just gave them a powerful outlet to express this anger.
"Our" country still shirks from the idea of a woman POTUS. I firmly believe the Rust Belt would vote that way again nearly the same way regardless of the Dem candidate.

Since there are no written rules for the campaign per se..fair enough.
Actually there are rules in society though, and he broke all of them? Nearly all of them?
He didnt just play the game. He and his staff were stiring the lowest possible human emotions all the while insulting nearly everyone and everyones intelligence left and right. What happened here broke some basic rules of society, meaning that restraint and certain behaviors are required for society to function even though they are not expicitly put on paper or guarded by law. Call it decency if you wish. There was no decency to be found here. And that is definitely a huge problem for US politics going forward.
It's not subjective at all. In the slightest. Pence is a complete fuckwit that wants to bring back conversion therapy. The fuckwad is literally a caveman.
Also, are you fucking legally insane? Do you really think Clinton would "attack Russia"? Jesus christ how fuckling mind wiped were you by the republican propaganda. No, Clinton wouldn't have "gone to war with Russia", she would just keep on putting the much needed pressure on them. Something we fucking needed to keep Russian in check.
Guess fucking what: with Trump (russian puppet) in the presidency, Putin is now the most powerful leader in the world. He will now do whatever he fucking wants. And guess what? That will bite the US back very fucking hard in a few years.
You should start reading all Trump's statements about foreign policy. Maybe you'll understand. No kool-aid needed.
I feel that is a lot of people. Trump for the vast majority of his life he was very much inline with the Democrats. Universal Healthcare ,abortion rights etc. The Trump we have seen for the last few years is in complete opposition to the Trump people have known for decades so people hope there is at least a middleground between the two rather then a radical position.
You may be right, but I don't feel comfortable with that assumption. Trump has said some very horrible things about Muslims, women, and Mexicans. He may choose justices that reverse marriage equality. I completely understand why so much are so upset. I'm not exactly happy about this either, but I can only imagine what it must feel like considering I'm a white male.
The best outcome is that Trump doesn't touch civil rights, doesn't build the wall, stops saying inflammatory shit, dials it back with military campaigns, but we'll still see Obamacare repealed and taxes reduced. The last 2 are pretty much expected given the Congress to go with it.
"The dangers of an election fueled by slanderous Memes"
I have (had) a lot of armed forces people on my Facebook friends list sharing that specific meme that is supposed to be Ambassador Stevens getting tortured.
Despite the image being on the net 8 years before Steven's death, these people were convinced it was a photo of him and shared it like crazy to spread the word about "Killary".

I was on the verge of a panic attack when I realized Trump won. Now it feels like I'm dreaming or something.
Except fucking up the supreme court, I'm thinking the US is basically safe for four years. Me and others living in foreign countries will perhaps suffer more from his stupidity?
Fuck

You know, I'm so furious at the people who voted trump, and at the people who didn't vote anything knowing what was at stake.
I feel like some kind of divine punishment is in order. But the thing is, I can't imagine a more fitting punishment than just having Trump as their president. He's going to fuck over so many things...but democracy worked as intended and this is what the people voted for. It makes no sense.
It's like I'm feeling angry just so I can avoid feeling so hopeless and in despair.

Can someone recommend an editorial style gaming news website that stays away from politics? I want to talk about gaming on a gaming website, not politics. Kotaku and
Polygon are looking to serve a different audience. IGN and Gamespot have too few editorials.
Not looking for this, but similarly curious. Is there a gaming website with a conservative bias?

He does... and trump luckily doesn't. As I've said, if there's a bright spot, it's wether you believe it or not, that Trump is the most moderate on social issues in the republican field. I know that's not saying much, but he doesn't really care what Pence thinks, he made that blatantly clear on multiple issues especially mid debate when he basically called him stupid for his stance on syria.

Colin voted Libertarian, but yeah, I guess you're right.
smh. he is not pro-lgbtq is he only half believes in their rights. he should not be governing our bodies full stop, no caveats. hilary may have flipped but at least she flipped all the way with no qualifiers.
if you leave these issues to the states, they will vote against these issues, or ignore them. gay rights will be held back for no reason at all other than "historical precedent". He openly believes in stop-and-frisk, and supports its proliferation throughout the country, which negatively affects POC overwhelmingly.
its like you don't even listen to your own fucking candidate and its pissing everyone off. here's to four years of posturing

Trumps main foreign policy weakness is Asia, not sure why people keep making it about Europe.
Hes basically said he will cut support for South Korea and Japan, unless they do more for USA, plus a trade war with China.
NATO wont change, whole leadership group is full of people trained at USA military colleges, half of which will be on the pay roll of a lobby group (Joint cooperation "encouragement" groups) when they retire. Same shit in Australia.

I've been seeing the same thing. In fact, over on Twitter, I've seen at least 1 or 2 people say this during these past many months all while voting for him. Like "Oh you can vote for him. He actually won't do any of the stuff he says, it's all publicity" like that makes any difference.
for some inexplicable reason these tweets and the statements from places today make me cry, which i dont really do. i think its im in shock and devastated and these things show that most of the country is still good and are gonna help out.

Sounds like classic Dumbfuckistanhere is a little anon reasoning on why trump won...
God forbid we call racists "bigots" just because they labeled all Muslims "terrorists".

It's probably true.here is a little anon reasoning on why trump won...
Whoah... could you imagine...
He'll probably just change all of the bills and coins to feature his tremendous face.
Damn sounds like Steve Rogers himself ; ;
The issue is generalisation. You didn't swing just against racists, you usually swung against everyone. And your reaction is the exact point.
Labeling Bernie Sanders supporters as racists. Hell labeling Bernie as racist. You went after everyone who wasn't on Hillary.
God it disgusts me how short people's memories are. I heard Paul Ryan just a few months ago call Trump racist. Because it was undeniable. He was saying and doing racists things. Republican Senators were like "Yeah, that's racist. I can't condone it."
And then today, even on GAF, lots of "No no no. We're totally not racists. I have a black friend. We're fine. No racists here. There was nothing racist about this election in the slightest" and people are like "Yeah, we should totally have just been more empathetic to you".

But we just found out that most of those dumb white people in those areas are racists. It was all over the news last night.
I guess I forgot to say "some I assume are good people". You got me.

Not true, he won based on racist shit, promises of lower taxes, and promise of bringing poor uneducated's coal mining and factory jobs back, with no plan to actually do it.

See. This is part of why Hillary lost. People like you just discarding people instead of trying to win their hearts and minds.
It's not like Trump got 100% of the vote in all of those states, so Dumbfuckistan's a bit unfair. I think reasonable people living there would understand the sentiment, though.
