[RedAssedApe]

What happened to all the loud millennials that brought social issues to the zeitgeist? Where were they tonight?

they all voted for trump. all the white ones anyway

 

[Steel]

Will Democrats and Republicans now finally work together?

Republicans have to work with no one in the current government.

 

[NightShift]

Trump takes off his mask, revealing Bernie Sanders. "IT WAS ME AMERICA! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!"

 

[Amikami]

They all said that about Obama

For all the good it ever did them

Yep.Like it or not, Trump is soon to be OUR President, even if he is a President that doesn't like us or want us. At the end of the day, we have hope that he makes the best calls, support him when he does, don't support him when he doesn't, and hold out till we have another.

 

[Madness]

Any Europeans who think this won't affect them... coupled with the Brexit vote, this Trump victory emboldens Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders and all the other demagogues and nationalists in Europe.

 

[White Wolf]

Apparently PA went from 99% to 89% :\

Come the fuck on

pennsylvania?

who what where??

 

[Foffy]

I'm truly horrified. My sister, who has epilepsy, is freaking out because if Obamacare gets repealed she won't be able to afford the battery change in her brain implant. That brain implant is basically her only hope at having a life, because without it she has to be on so many pills it basically makes her a zombie/super depressed. I don't know what to say to her. I'm terrified for her.

I am crying for her.

I wish you and especially her well in these very dark times.

I'm so sorry and angry when I hear shit like this.

 

[Alucrid]

You people realize that President Obama literally said "The sun will rise tomorrow" in a video he released today?

Right?

I get if you don't agree with him but I keep seeing these responses and can't help but laugh.

Did President Obama also dismiss people's concerns and fears as mere hyperbole?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Lena Dunham, Barbara Streisand, Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Eddie Griffin, Samuel L. Jackson, John Stewart, Omari Hardwick, Whoopie Goldburg, Al Sharpton, Raven-Symone, Jennifer Lawrence, Barry, Diller, Miley Cyrus, George Lopez, Chelsea Handler, Jenny Slate, Neve Campbell, Zosia Mamet, Chloe Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne, Elisabeth Moss, Spike Lee, Kathryn Hahn, Lily Depp, Gabrielle Union, Matt Damon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Amy Schumer, Will.I.Am, Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Keegan Michael-Key and Ne-Yo.

How many will actually go through with it I wonder

 

[Altered Juice]

So hillary won't show up for the people that stood by her side for hours?

pathetic

 

[Seventy70]

How is democracy failing? This result is literally democracy, the people voted for this guy. The only undemocratic thing here is not accepting the results as valid. Democracy doesn't mean "it's only ok when my candidate wins!!" no matter how despisable the other might be.

This is what I can't stand. It's why we lost this time. Failure to open eyes and see the reality.

 

[TAJ]

Given that the dude's business declared bankruptcy twice... I'm not sure if United States can declare bankruptcy lol

At one point he proposed declaring bankruptcy as a nation like it was some brilliant idea. He didn't use the 'b' word, though.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

I'm not American nor I live in America. But I have to respect peoples choice here.


In both cases people voted, and I have to respect their choice even if I didn't like it.

No you don't have to respect anything. I sure don't.

The people that voted for trump made the wrong decision, but it doesn't mean they are stupid it just means they were played a fool.

 

[Pixieking]

Apparently PA went from 99% to 89% :\

Come the fuck on

A county didn't upload votes, maybe? NC did that earlier - 92000 votes, there.

 

[Vlaphor]

How long until the next results are in? I'm still holding the tiniest sliver of hope (it is technically possible) but I also need to go to sleep.

 

[Jonm1010]

I don't see the big deal about not conceding. She just wants to wait for all the votes to come in to be 100% sure.

The impression I got from Trump was that even after the votes, he may or may not accept the outcome. Could be wrong though

Honestly I kinda think that she is probably not in an emotional place to do it. If I had to speculate.

I mean this is like the culmination of her life's ambition and she has had the knife slowly twisting for hours into a shock loss that has even caught Trump and even the most optimistic Trump supporters off guard.

 

[mozfan12]

Hey we were only Bernie bros?

 

[NullPointer]

Really lame of Clinton. Be gracious and concede tonight like the loser should. Could you imagine if the tables were turned, they would be shitting on Trump. I'm not happy with the results either, but it's the results, deal with it. I still wish Clinton won, but man do I not like her at all.

Yep. Just made me sink a little lower.

What a shit time to go awol.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Trump speech

 

[Toparaman]

Man. Hillary didn't even talk to her own people who waited with/for her all night. That's a terrible thing to do on her part.

Imagine thinking you've got the presidency in the bag for months. You've been gearing up for this moment for decades. And you lose (bigly) to the biggest buffoon in America.

I wouldn't be able to speak.

 

[ibyea]

Remember when the Hillary supporters were talking about her being the realistic candidate? I will always remember their arrogance.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Good one America. No wonder the world just laughs and laughs at you. Those who vote Trump should be made to visit some other countries for a while to see how a large portion of the rest of the world works.

Thank Christ I'm not in that country.

Yeah, our new direction won't at all impact the world economy, global warming, or military balance.

 

[El-Suave]

Is "bigly" accepted into the dictionary yet?

 

[Rentahamster]

What the hell are you talking about? This isn't about a courtesy to another candidate, it's about enabling the peaceful transition of power, and taking the high ground for the American public.

FWIW, Fox News is talking about how absentee ballots are being counted in some of the close states, and their ballot expert guy there isn't going to call certain states tonight most likely.

I know. Trump said the same thing, in a very rude way, and got crucified for it.

 

[Gaylord Sweetwood]

MSNBC gave trump damn near 24/7 coverage also

They gave him scandalous coverage. They barely covered his rallies or policy speeches. I saw very little coverage on his Gettysburg Rally, which was all policy based,

 

[KingBroly]

.

This means that Clinton has NO ROUTE to the Presidency, even if you took away Michigan and Pennsylvania (since AZ/AK are going Trump)

 

[Any Questions]

I'm truly horrified. My sister, who has epilepsy, is freaking out because if Obamacare gets repealed she won't be able to afford the battery change in her brain implant. That brain implant is basically her only hope at having a life, because without it she has to be on so many pills it basically makes her a zombie/super depressed. I don't know what to say to her. I'm terrified for her.

Richest nation, too selfish to help it's citizens. Am sorry for you dude. I really hope things don't change for you and your sister

 

[Kill3r7]

What has always baffled me is this Electoral College thingy. Why is it a thing in the first place? So about a 500-600 people decide the president?

The orange popsicle is doing well in the popular vote as well. So there is that.

 

[SgtWiggles]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Hillary's room and in some of the DNC meetings that will be occurring. I want to see how exactly they are spinning this as not being their fault

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I can't believe Trump is gonna win. Fuck, why.....

 

[Sniffynose]

It's a classic election, we always get to choose between dumb and dumber, this time it was swindler vs warmonger.

In the end big companies win and everyone else's life essentially stays the same.

 

[Alebrije]

The Mexican Peso has crashed too. Almost 12% down against the dollar. Crazy.

Bye bye PS4 pro and 4k HDR tv

 

[White Wolf]

Trump takes off his mask, revealing Bernie Sanders. "IT WAS ME AMERICA! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!"

 

[sappyday]

Im so fucking drunk right now that my brain forgets that Dumpf won but then I read again that he has the winning vote and I keep drinking more

 

[Frustrated_me]

How many will actually go through with it I wonder

None.

They all have millions stashed in the bank living in their comfortable homes in Los Angeles.

 

[soldat7]

All those sexists.

Well, they're married to them. Man of the house, and all that.

 

[Absinthe]

I'm terrified for her.

So sorry to hear that. How much does something like that cost?

 

[Trumpets]

Lets hope Clinton supporters have a bit more dignity than Remainers and don't immediately call for a second election.

 

[paparazzo]

Well, that's the last time I put money on an election.

Praying for us all.

 

[fixedpoint]

What happened to all the loud millennials that brought social issues to the zeitgeist? Where were they tonight?

They were fake.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Thank god, Trump won.
Love wins, only loser is the left hate and bigotry.

The world is safer.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Holy shit. Hillary walkin out was a terrible move. This just further validates Trump supporters.

You know what's fucking terrible? All year it was the GOP getting ragged on for creating an awful candidate and fucking up the Republican Party.

Asleep at the wheel, America.

 

[digdug2k]

I find it so weird, the same Christians who spent the last 3 weeks posting about how they had no choice but to vote Trump because "abortion" are all now posting "Don't panic. God is in control" memes. Do they regret their votes or something? Why are they panicked?

 

[Pixieking]

Any Europeans who think this won't affect them... coupled with the Brexit vote, this Trump victory emboldens Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders and all the other demagogues and nationalists in Europe.

Yeah. Theresa May and Trump is a scary thought, without Le Pen or Wilders in the mix, too.

 

[SilentRob]

Blaming this on "the media" is way easier than standing up to the fact that the US is a fundamentally racist country that now elected a fundamentally racist candidate, isn't it?

Man.

 

[Volimar]

Welp, I'm done for the night, except for this regarding Hillary not conceding:

Wasn't the fear that he wouldn't concede even if the results are conclusive? Hardly the case here, but still not a good look given the debate question.

 

[Leithkorias]

She didn't have to give a concession speech, but she should've been the one to go up there and tell her supporters that it's too close to call at the moment.

Shitty thing not to address the people there directly and instead send Podesta to play messenger. If she looked at a single frame of that livestream, she'd know that they need her to say something.

Anything.

I waited well past my bedtime for history. I didnt even get a speech....what the fuck just happened....

...this is what was expected of trump wasnt it?

 

[george_us]

Imagine spending your whole life serving the country in some capacity or another. You wanted the make it a better place for all people. And then a con man swindles the country with a campaign of hate and intolerance. If that's not demoralizing and core shaking, I don't know what it is.

This is honestly how I feel right now. I honestly can't imagine how Hillary must feel. It wouldn't surprise me if she's just sitting in a recliner right now, staring at a picture or something out of pure shock.
