This is it right here. My view of the silver lining in this is that it can be seen as a rebuke of the progressive left that screams at, labels, and demonizes anyone who disagrees with them. You can only shit on uneducated white people so much before they won't take it anymore. There are A LOT of them, and they vote.

So the choice for minorities is coddle racists or elect them?

Even if she pulls this out, I'm still shook. Everyone should be shook.

 

[Euron]

I'm a financial analyst and no it isnt. LOL

Well I hope it stays that way. Everyone around me is freaking the fuck out so I've had no idea.

 

[btrboyev]

Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsivania are all going to trump. The election will be called in the next 30 mins with Trump projected as the winner.

I'm fucking embarrassed as an American.

 

[centmoe]

may allah save us

 

[Gutek]

Hope!

Yeah, no.

 

[Sblargh]

It's not about SJWs, it's about the left - worldwide - have no answer to the problems people are facing right now.

People are pissed about the left, again, worldwide, because it was all "we have to fight the corporations and the military industrial complex and concentration of wealth and the banks and the 1%": years later, evrything is exactly the same, the powerful are still powerful, your life is still shit.

And THEN, to top it all off, you are accused of racism and homophoby for using the wrong word online. But I really think that's a small factor; it's mostly that people look to the left as a state buffer against the rich and the powerful and the conclusion is: the left is the rich and the powerful.

"Trump IS the rich and the powerful". By being an asshole racist dishonest busisnessman, not by profiting from war.

I still think she'll scrap by and I hope so, because almost losing the presidency should at least make her attempt to look like less of the banking puppet.

2008 was THE year for the left to take over the world ideologically. All it needed to do was stand up against the banks. It failed.

how the fuck does it take michigan so damn long to count some votes

 

[Tagyhag]

You know how Trump pretty much won from the silent majority? You can see it here in this thread as well.

Supporters coming out of the woodwork.

 

[Drkirby]

mrw trump is still winning

 

[MrCunningham]

I hate CNN, but they do have a bad ass soundtrack.

 

[Alanood]

dammit I have a midterm after 20 mins... please don't let him win

 

[Will M]

It's the woman card caused Dem to lose this time.

[Jarmel]

Everybody laughed at Trump's Rust Belt strategy.

 

[entremet]

Yes, lets just shift the party to pander to them instead.

You're really misreading that statement.

Obama won huge swaths of voters that Clinton is not winning and he didn't compromise in social justice.

Clinton was a poor candidate and had no compelling narrative outside of experience, which rarely wins elections.

When did Obama call a base of voters deplorable and racists?

 

[yanipheonu]

Maybe I should move to a commune...


Seriously though, America shouted with one voice, "We are racist and sexist and proud."

This is seriously end of an era, end of America as we know it stuff.

 

[Beefy]

Canada's immigration website has crashed due to the amount of applicants....

 

[BahamutPT]

Huh...

 

[Giolon]

Yes, lets just shift the party to pander to them instead.

No, you have to get them on your side. You can't just say "fuck all them, ignore them. We'll do it without them." Not yet anyway. Wait another decade.

So the choice for minorities is coddle racists or elect them?

I have drank more tonight than I ever have in any one day of my life and I don't feel any better

No way Wisconsin goes blue......I work with to many of them and the only thing they care about are MAH Guns

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

hahaha CNN still has Florida in yellow

 

[Zaventem]

"ahaha is this the first time you guys are voting? this always happens! calm down"

Calm down, those two words are ingrained in my head, honestly it's filling me with a level of hate i haven't felt in a long time...Those that decided to dickride left leaning polls as the be all end all. Those that claimed we don't need bernie supporters and with everything on trumps head it will be an easy victory even with only 1 newspaper openly endorsing him.

 

[MikeyB]

I think that another cause is the internet.

It allows people to live in echo chambers, where they can reinforce their beliefs.

It has destroyed print media and, as a result, high-quality journalism.

It has also promoted narcissism and the culture of celebrity, infantilizing the citizenry. This is a more tenuous claim and more of a gut feeling.

Best of luck, USA.

 

[Woorloog]

Do Americans realize their choice of president and government affects the entire world? A Putin-ally as a president, fucking hell....

HOLY SHIT

Colbert going scorched eart. I love it.

Is this online somewhere?

I'm just surfing porn for the last 30 minutes....

How? For the first time in my life I am too gutted to maintain an erection.

 

[Cyrus]

I'm proud of my state (Illinois) not voting for this piece of shit, but it doesn't seem like it's enough.

Just thinking about having this guy lead our country for four years (and potentially more I wouldn't be surprised) is making me want to puke. Especially as a non-White.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

What a time to be alive.

 

[Seventy70]

Stop quoting that garbage post!

 

[Burt]

Thank you for this. +1

Honestly, if HRC and the DNC lose to a zombie candidate like Trump who doesn't even have the support of his own party, with a Republican establishment that is disintegrating.... it's on them.

DNC shouldn't have anointed Hilary as heir apparent. Fucking hell.

The fact that the first female presidential candidate doesn't have 60+% of female voters across the board against the first pussy-grabbing presidential candidate says everything you need to know about their campaign.

 

[Balphon]

Alright, so what must Hillary win from here on it? Just one of Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin? Or 2 out of three? Or one out of three?

All of them, basically.

 

[Blue Ninja]

You should totally do it, you have all my support

Are you fucking kidding me?

This election cycle has robbed me of all hope in humanity's future. Not because of Hillary losing, but because of people like you.

I guess it's a good time to post this

[spock]

Crazy and sad day but honestly folks should calm down, its not the end of the world, stuff will happen, but its probobly not going to be as the worst case scenario people have in mind. Donald's has not given many specifics, perhaps that was on purpose and hes going to surprise us in action.

I do really however feel really sad for our Mexican immigrant breathern, I do think hes going to pull a dick on them out of all the shit hes talked about.

 

[EvilMario]

I know you guys loved Rob Ford, but you didn't have to elect his doppleganger as President.

Spoiler

To my former country, I'm sorry this is happening to you

 

[7Th]

It's not about being racist, it's about being uninformed. If you voted for Trump, you voted for this:

Looking like the Civil Rights Act is gone. The Disability Rights Act is gone. Roe is gone. The ACA is gone. 60 years of progress. Poof.

And you deserve what the inevitable recession that will come with his presidency.

Well it was nice knowing y'all I'll now start pretending the US of A don't exist for the coming 4 years. Better luck next time.

I'm going to go on a long rant here and I'm sure in this fast moving thread no one will read it, but it's going to be at least a little cathartic. I'm also going to put this forum on blast a bit.

You know, I'm just going to take a moment to say that some of us tried to warn so many of you. The whole "social justice warrior" online movement or whatever you want to call it that this forum in particular has come to be dominated by. Shame and spite do not do anything to help one's cause.

Unrepentantly calling all white people racists and bigots and sexists and misogynists is what brought this on. I've joked on here about voting for and supporting Trump, but god knows I never actually did. But I've always been able to at least sympathize with those "deplorables" for the blatant hypocrisy on the left when it comes to all of those social issues that dominate social media these days.

too many people on the left, and on GAF especially, remind me of the conservatives in the years following 9/11 under Bush. Everything was viewed through a polarizing, black and white filter. You are either with us or with the terrorists. You are either a ____ist or you're not.

You can't demonize and shame people and expect they'll agree with you. They'll only dig their heels in further, especially if they feel attacked.

This is some real truth here, folks:
All the people who are very likely or even (ugh) probably going to put Donald fucking Trump in the White House tonight are not voting because they hate women or blacks or mexicans or whoever else. I'm also not saying that the hatred isn't a factor, because it's been shown repeatedly that at least on some level it's an animating force for all of this... but people are complex animals but you've turned them into cartoon villains and stereotypes without every trying to understand them or why they actually feel the way they do.

Polarization is bad. The right has been polarized for a long time, but now the left is too, and it's biting them back hard tonight. If Trump wins and has the House and Senate behind him, this is literally the end of America as we know it and the beginning of a new BRIC nation world alignment. That's really fucking bad.

How incompetent do you have to be to lose an election to fucking Trump? Christ Clinton.

 

[darkwing]

A republican house, senate, and presidency. In the years during climate change and years before automation. I got to get the fuck out of here

you forgot a Republican Supreme Court

I think I may sleep in my daughter’s room tonight. I worry most about her.

Aww (((

 

[Wiz]

If Clinton does win. It will be narrow. And she should not run for reelection either. What a mess.

If Trumo wins, he will lose reelection or not make it there.

Either way we are in for a hell of a 4 years
