3rd party voters and white people gave trump the win

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I guess im actually going to cry now
Shoulda been usa* if you didn't key in, autocorrect got me there, doesn't recognize America like that.
I'm actually annoyed with Florida voters. Those Gary Johnson votes could have pushed Clinton over. Would have made PA less of a blow. Strategic voting just went right over the heads of Americans this election.

do we tho? the GOP will control all 3 branches of the government and with that the supreme court is lost and with that goes Obamacare and quite possibly gay marriage
and lets not forget his boner for law n order via stop n frisk
so I'm not sure how we got this in any way
As a Floridian, I can't even disagree.

What would you say to a day of GAF silence? No PoC posts for 24 hours to mourn

This election proved that a majority of White people, and more specifically White women, will take a sacrifice, put their dignity aside, get on code and vote to uphold White supremacy.
Nobody would care if we disappeared for a day, and some people would lose an outlet that they could use to talk things through. Don't really see the point except to have our hotheads avoid getting baited into the tire fires.

Just gonna pop in here one time to remind every PoC and minority group that we cannot vent our anger at white people.
That might make them sad. And we don't want them to be sad do we?
/s
But I'm not angry.
I'm genuinely not.
I'm disappointed.
And tired.

True that.
At least I'm not actually in the country right now, or else I'd probably feel even sicker.
I don't even have the energy to be angry.Just gonna pop in here one time to remind every PoC and minority group that we cannot vent our anger at white people.

I honestly think I legitimately lost faith in humanity tonight.
I really, really did.
Its amazing how emotional I am right now.
Honestly, it's only partly about Trump.
Its the fact that the GOP, which has recently showed that they have values that even the KKK can get behind, is going to control all major branches of the US government. They are more likely to be able to rewrite or completely dismantle policies that were put in place by Obama, because they will be almost unopposed.
I know that Trump can't single-handedly control everything obviously. But this allows a lot of people with ideals that aren't in my best interests as a minority to have significant power. And Trump is going to have a lot of dark people who know a LOT more about politics than he does pulling his strings.
As long as Trump is getting money, and gets to see himself in the media, he really doesn't care. Hell, this win is going to make him the most smug man in the world for the next month or so.
I need to get a better job. They're going to need more tax money if they're going to get that wall started...

In the end I live in a Democratic state, and im a man with a Job that provides health insurance. But I feel so bad for women in red states, especially now that Republican control of all 3 branches of government for the foreseeable future. The only way it will get better if gets really bad.
Ditto. It's at a point where I'm finally just done with it all. I always knew what this country was about, but I still had a flicker of hope for the future.
But in the end, America America'd itself in spectacular fashion and I now know 100% what this country really is about and what the people who occupy it are about. My idealistic youth period is now officially over and I can move past it.
I'm not angry or sad. I'm actually a little happy now that I no longer have to pretend to like this racist shit country. I can drop all pretenses and simply say: God. Damn. America.
Meh
Did you vote?

That introspective thread and this election is making it super clear.
White people generally do not give a single fuck about us. Left or right leaning.
I finally understand, and will react accordingly. I'm not going hotep, but I can't trust nobody but each other to protect us.
But I'm so scared. Especially for my girlfriend, a south asian immigrant.

No shit, breh.
Cursing the fact that my father is Chinese.
And the fact that he voted for Trump, the fucking trash. But yeah. Might change my name to my mom's maiden name.
Nah, that wouldn't do anything.
It's clear that doing things "the right way" isn't enough. We need to disrupt shit to make some change. I mean REALLY disrupt shit.
Nah fam I'm Canadian. Just been casually keeping an eye out on the results.
She's been much more invested in watching what was going down; been texting me updates every once and while and by virtue of being on the internet as well, I've happened to see a lot of them too. And I said as much. But I realize I was being rather flippant when she obviously really wanted to talk about it. So she got upset but started being unnecessarily mean; calling me and suggesting that I was acting like a 'know-it-all' and that I always have to know more than her, etc. etc.
Anyways, not to go on about that shit but it kind of came outta left field for me. I know I could've done better and been more engaging, but she can just be unnecessarily mean and I'm kind of done with it.

Welp there goes WI. Land of the free indeed.
Makes me want to fucking puke. Celebrating political moral victories over the potential death knell of rights for minorities in this country. These motherfuckers were never in it for the right reasons. It was all a game for them.
Edit: Ban me if that's the word, mods. I don't care anymore. I can't do this shit.

Not shocked at all nobody liked her
This isn't really anything new though.
2008, lifelong democrats: "I ain't voting for no nigger."
2016, "You blacks don't know what's good for you."
what year is it?
1780, feels like.

I'm sorry, y'all. It's tough. Get some sleep, try and breathe. I'm gonna find my bed. Night. ❤️
I'm more worried about hispanic people and Muslim peolple TBH, we are is a shit situation. But they are in some dirt under the shit type stuff. Especially considering the latter gets spun off into war mongering

I'm so sorry y'all, so so sorry.
Been knowing this since Zimmerman. Country continues to show what they think of us.
Just a reminder of what happened following #Brexit (which was a UK vote fueled by much of the same sentiment as Trump's campaign): hate crimes against minorities and immigrants spiked following the vote and never really died down to pre-vote levels. Expect hate crimes to start flooding the news and stay safe.
We've spent the last 8 years paying for electing a Black president and this was the grand finale. The coup de grace. The finishing move. The final blow. Whatever you wanna call it.
Four years is a long time, y'all. All we can do is hope the damage is contained, and try to take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

This is straight up 1876 - the election that reversed a decade of progress after the Civil War and led to the complete and total disenfranchisement of black people for several generations to follow. Hell, we still haven't completely climbed out of that hole 140 fucking years later. And it looks like we'll be going right back into that hole largely thanks to the descendants of those racist ignorant motherfuckers.
True enough. Jingoism and white national pride is going to be even more blatant and status quo.
