Uh . . . that is like, far fewer people than 2009, isn't it?
Not a fact. It's not like 50% of Americans voted for this clown, you know.
And the opposition isn't stronger just because of a team losing. This is bigger than that. This is not normal.

If there are any mass of people holding signs critical of right-wing agendas, it's a disruptive protest.
And let some black people get out there and it goes from protest to riot.

Thanks to the Electoral College, some states with smaller populations have a bigger impact on the election than states with larger populations, effectively giving the rural people a much stronger vote.
That is not democracy. If it was democracy it would be only the Popular Vote that counted, as in the number of people. Countries with parliaments have this, like Sweden, where we count the votes and give out chairs in the Riksdag depending on the percentage of votes a party got. The Party with most votes in percentage, as in more people voted for them, is the one's who's most popular Prime Minister candidate gets chosen (also chosen by popular vote in the same election).
Minimal.
The senate we would be lucky to not lose more seats. It's an incredibly hostile maps for democrats, as this is the wave of senators that got elected when Obama win in 2016. There's something like 3 potential republicans who might be at risk, and then 10+ democrats.
In the house, probably a better chance - but the issue is gerrymandering. It creates a huge barrier for the democrats, in that they can get the highest number of votes but still not control the house.
Now, all cards off the table if Trump is revealed to be a Russian agent, launches a nuke or something truly catastrophic and unprecedented. But if he's merely a bad, racist, benefit cutting rich people rewarding republican I wouldn't be surprised at all if the democrats came off worse in 2018 than they did 2016.
26% voted for Trump.
And that's not even of all Americans, that's 26% of eligible voters.

I mean the actual codes. They usually do that early in the morning, sometimes before they even go to the church.
I guess it's a classified meeting so there is no way to know when it's official.

All I have to say.
Honestly, just stop with the math gymnastics. It doesn't change anything. America elected a racist fascist.
Apparently the American people did not have it in them to go out and vote against a fascist. There is no way you can spin that to make it look good.
@RealBarackObama: "Couldn't even get the same amount of attendance as me. Sad!"

My closest movie theater screened The World's End last night and combined it with a beer-tasting event.
Rather appropriate for the date, IMO.
Afterwards they screened Moonlight... a film I can guarantee Donald Trump will never watch and most of his supporters would be sickened by.

Yeah I assume they already have the gold codes already from the current Sec.Def. Though I assume it's a special schedule for today.

...and how many of that 26% actually liked this dude? His approval rating was trash then, and it's trash now.
Sexism runs deep tho.

There we go.
Almost half of America thought they had to choose between two terrible candidates. Of those that didn't, more wanted Clinton to be President than Trump. So really somewhere around 25% is celebrating today.

So much diversity in that crowd shot.

he always did have more faith in the american people than they were worth, yes.
You don't really know that, do you? Considering, I would assume, some people voted for Clinton not because they wanted her, but against Trump.

I think I reached insanity.
I want to see trump, his cabinet, and the GOP fuck this country so badly, that the conservative baby boomers and old fucks that go us here finally realize they are the ones that have fucked this country for the past 50 years.
Burn it all down so we can rebuild.
