I see America has developed a taste for Italian.
And by Italian, I mean Berlusconi.

Seriously. This is the exact same reaction I had when I checked my phone this morning. Like waking up in the worst time line
Never ever trust the pools. They are easily rigged or altered.
About common sense, well, that is other story...
Imagine Silvio and Trump going out to hunt some ladies.

Even as a non-voter, my fac right now is one of...
"WHAT THE FUCK"
In 33 years, I have never voted either way. This is the first time I have felt like an ass ofr it.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Echoing my rants-on-twitter-that-nobody-really-cares-about, it's not even the whole "Trump is a bigot" thing that bothers me. I mean, obviously that does. But politics are inherently complicated and multifaceted. I feel echochambers of "fascist" and "dictator" are grossly oversimplifying and mislabelling the structure and function of the USA political system and why these results are worrying. It's not just Trump; a big concern that might be. It's everything surrounding and backing Trump, namely the totalitarian Republican control of the house, senate, and supreme court. It's like how blaming Bush Jr for mistakes made within his terms is such a lazy, misguided scapegoat against his entire fucking party, especially Cheney and the damage they collectively caused. The results of this election are poignant not because "Fuck Trump", but instead the deeply entrenched Republican control over everything.

True. Trump is a symptom of many problems already persisting

I bet you want to be in the Iron Cohort.
Nothing's likely to change a lot for me. I'll pay attention to what happens with respect to the ACA but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
I'm not happy about the outcome but whatever. Life goes on. I'm just gonna maintain normalcy. Tomorrow I'll get up at 2pm like everyone else put on a ripped up bleached up tshirt like everyone else and draw pictures of robots and monsters like everyone else and listen to jars of clay like everyone else

I know that now we begin the fight to fix this bullshit, to stand up to tyranny and say our rights will not be stripped away, but right now, I'm feeling empty.
Just a void of emptiness that I have not felt since high school.
One of my friends, now blocked, wrote "I voted Stein. Let this be a lesson, America".

Go to their profile and you'll see a box that says "Friends" where you have the option. I just unfriended someone myself.
An orange, racist sex offender cartoon clown who ran on building a giant wall to mexico and bitched like a baby about everything being rigged for the last 2 weeks won. Even if you naturally lean republican it just really sounds weird to be jazzed about this ugliness... But you do you.

I have no idea what that is
Cool. Well I hope you feel good while everything goes to shit for everyone else because you're fine.
*sigh*
Keep punching left. Stein didn't get enough votes to bridge the gap, and the Democrats aren't entitled to anyone's vote anyway.
Maybe you should push for some electoral reform if you hate third party voters taking votes away so much.

This was more people than I realized today. They don't even like Trump, they just relish the chance to combat hostile progressive liberals. I really wish it hadn't come to that, obviously, but I get it. And being surrounded by people who feel that way (my county voted nearly half Trump) it's hard not to get caught up in it. So I spent the final hours of the vote tallying with my girls cackling and celebrating even though just five hours prior I had been lecturing them for being too conservative. This is why I normally try to stay out of politics.

Mostly the ones focused on trade reform and the economy. The trade stuff specifically effects my job. I also don't like the ACA. It has directly impacted my wife's business.
Maybe he doesn't get anything done but I don't agree with most of Hillary's policy because I think she is a liar anyway.
I thought the race shoulda been Trump vs Sanders.
Those are my political thoughts.

I do need to read more about the USSR tbf. It's an area of history that, for obvious reasons, is incredibly interesting to me
Note: Interesting does not mean I want to repeat it. Stalin was a colossal cunt, you won't hear any arguments from me on that
I guess I just feel like this one should transcend political parties. This is a dude who is a bully and he's mean and he's vengeful and he says horrible things about women and he complains and he lies and he blames and he does all of the things we wouldn't want our kids to do. It seems like a basic matter of character and decency. :\ Why celebrate that?

I wrote my high school history thesis on Lenin, back when I was in my own commie phase

Yeah...this is so fucking dumb. I don't like Hillary either but celebrating a man like trump is such a downfall
Where is she working at?
Ding. Ding.
Trump actually won. My future-predictor-thingie is currently going haywire.
Oh, it just broke
I'm not going to blame anyone voting for their self interest, that's being human. But no matter which way I look at it, I can't see the long term benefit for anyone from this decision.
