Honestly, fuck the "it will be OK" shit. Let us have time to mourn for fucks sake.
I am so depressed right now. I honestly cannot believe our country has fallen for such a con artist. I'm angry at a lot of people. 3rd party voters, Russia, racist xenophobes, the media, etc. I think the ultimate lesson from all of this is complacency. You CANNOT BE COMPLACENT. To be so is to risk our democracy. Honestly, I hope that the house/senate finds a reason to impeach Trump. Pence will be HORRIBLE but at least he has some form of temperament. I am terrified for our foreign nations relations.

Trump even winning popular vote.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Because in all the hubbub and focus on increased minority voters, they completely ignored the rural white voter.

Sanders didn't do too hot with minorities at all. I'm certain he would've been demonized to hell and back during the GE. I'm placing the blame on America. If I were to list every single reason why this man isn't fit to preside over cleaning a plunger, yet alone running the most powerful nation on Earth with all branches of government on his side, I would go over the character limit. To all the people who were actually serious with the purity tests and the "both sides" garbage, you're about to witness your reward. My only hope is that I can find a way to get the fuck out of here in the near future. There comes a point where you have to question whether or not you truly belong among your peers. Bush 04 at least made sense given the emotional manipulation, but this?
The worst part is that Trump will likely get impeached, but Pence scares the shit out of me even more.

I feel like the life has been sucked right out of me. I'm so numb
FUCK THAT
Fight them with every last ounce of strength. The Dems must stop bending over for corporations and portray themselves as the party of the people.
Do not give in to Nazis EVER. The GOP are literally run now by a fascist. Treat him and the entire party like what the are. They are enemies.

I just fucking moved right to vote for Clinton. I'm not moving anymore.
This country is sick. Millions and millions of people are fucked in the head. Why that is? I'm sure there's plenty of reasons...but the key is realizing they're ill, the first step. I'm not moving anymore to the right than I did today.
I'm not going to promise you anything but my only hope is that we will be able to reverse/destroy all the damage Trump will do with help from the non-batshit crazy Republicans or once the Dems win the presidency again. It's a lot asking to hope for things that have a slim chance at happening but it's what's motivating me right now not to freak out about the hellfire that's going to come from this. I'm worried, scared, and think of myself as an idiot for thinking like this but I know we can do it. If you end your life right here right now it won't make a difference in what is going to happen to the rest of the country & the people you know so please don't. I realize what I'm writing out has a huge huge longshot from happening but that's honestly all I really have to hope for at this point.
Yep this is your pick now you have to live.

Bernie turning some of the white rage against bankers and corporations might have curbed at least some of the advantage Trump generated, and Dems prob would have turned out at about the same rate because of the Trump factor.
And the left in this country is already barely past the center everywhere else. Unreal.

Excitement wins every election
trump had it and Hillary didn't. That's it.
I regret my primary vote and I will never vote in the same way I did this election ever ever again

Same here. I'm taking a deep, deeeeep retreat into escapism entertainment for a while.

I was a Bernie supporter in the primary, and I'm crying too. I voted Clinton, and I sure as Hell didn't want this to happen.
You'd be better off with, say, a President Bayh (lol this is just for the sake of example) opposed to a President Trump.

Is this your first presidential election? Is this your first major electoral loss?

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
It's more like, what the fuck do we do?
You can look back at most elections and see what went wrong.
I don't see what went wrong, not without giving up core tenets of tolerance and understanding liberals hold close.

I've lost elections before, hard elections, but it's never felt like this. I don't want to talk or hear about politics anymore, I think I'm done

Assuming these percentages end up holding, Clinton did worse among ALL demos than Obama in 2012.
America has spoken, indeed.

No, it is not. The past Republican candidates and winners were not unhinged lunatics. That is the crucial difference here.

I won't go through with it. I'll just have to accept that fear and hatred will always win. Going to be an extremely tough month.
if there was one thing obama really nailed in 2012, it was painting romney as an out of touch business guy who didn't give a shit about the common man. that delivered the midwest.
the country isn't ready for 'uniting as one people to face down hate'
Well I guess thanks for banning me from the discord for not being doomsday, Pigeon.
The irony is you talk about dictatorship and you're banning anyone who doesn't agree with you. I wasn't pro Trump, I was just saying I wasn't sure he was going to turn it into a dictatorship overnight.
I feel the loss as much as anyone else, but I legitimately think you're overreacting.

This can't be overstated enough because this win completely turns everything we know about politics on its head.

Very unlikely as nothing is on the net. And if they tried to effect the transmission of info from precincts (many are done by phone anyways), it would be noticed in review.
