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

The world is safer.

I honestly wonder what Obama is thinking right now. Imagine after all the years of bullshit over his birth certificate, roasting him in 2011 and effectively encouraging him to run...and then he actually wins. And he has to brief him on presidential matters.

Goddamn that must feel shitty.

Wow. How it possible a Muppet like that can become president of The USA? I'm flabbergasted. People must really not like what the dem's have been doing if they're willing to accept this guy.

Right wing is scary. The future is scary.

I'm terribly disappointed in my country. In my fellow Americans.

I hope Trump can find his footing and lead this country to prosperity.
 
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.

things are actively worse now

we were more than likely fucked no matter what but the clock sped up

also this attitude is super shitty to people who will legit feel repercussions from this and don't act like they won't

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 My sister, who has epilepsy, is freaking out because if Obamacare gets repealed she won't be able to afford the battery change in her brain implant.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 currently her only hope at having a life, because without it she has to be on so many pills it basically makes her a zombie. Not to mention the mental health side effects, which include depression and extreme mood swings. She can't work and can't drive without that brain implant, and without Obamacare she can't pay for the operation to replace the battery every ~2 years. I don't know what to say to her. I'm terrified for her.
How much does the operation cost?

I'm so sorry. I can't anymore... I'm so depressed right now. I'm going to bed. Peace, goodnight or morning everyone...
 
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.

As if the rest of the world is in any better position. Populism and right wing nationalism is global right now.

For me, her speaking tonight wouldn't even really be about the election. That's over. It's about leadership. Rallying the half of the country not driving us towards a cliff and is in freaking mourning right now.

I don't know. Maybe the folks talking about the popular vote and whatnot are right when they say it's not important if she spoke or not. But to the political layman that I am, it seemed like a golden opportunity to at least give a small sliver of hope to the large swath of the country currently starving of it.

Assuring the people that the world isn't going to end would have been a good start. Even if it ended up being a lie.

You know what. Here is what I think will happen. The reason Hillary didn't come out is because when trump comes out he's going to rip off his face and reveal that it was really Hillary the entire time. /believe

Then you have a very dangerous understanding of democracy. Again, democracy does not mean that it's only ok when YOUR candidate with the policies that YOU think are right wins. And if anyone the opponents are at fault who failed in convining people why they are the better choice.

Democracy fails when the population is uneducated and bigoted.

Your next president is about to take the stage! Get ready, folks.

I said earlier today that no matter who gets elected, this will be a historic moment.

Curious to see what he says. I'm almost more interested in Hilary's speech though.

You've gone from the best president you've ever had, to the worst you could possibly imagine.

Bra-fucking-vo.

I didn't realize Lincoln was still serving.

Oh God, that feeling when you realize Trump is going to be added to a list that contains John Adams, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR.

I can't even imagine.

Most of the little he managed to accomplish is going down the toilet.

On the bright side they appear to be rigging it PA for Clinton. Went from 100% in to not only 89% reporting


The bad news is it still wouldn't be enough.
 
Where can I go to watch Donald Trumps victory speech so I can roflol at this whole situation. I'm sorry for your sake America. I'll root for Donald turning out to not be as big of an asshole as he appears.
 
Republicans and even Donald Trump are still human beings. No one is irredeemable. The folks in suits on the Senate and House floors aren't the same as the lost souls on 8chan. Write your representatives. Call the hotlines. Protest. Let your voice be heard. We can't give up fighting for a more moral and ethical society just because people are ignorant about politics.

I've been growing more political as I've entered into my late 20s, and this election sealed the deal. Now, I live in California, which went blue and legalized marijuana and generally made me proud tonight, but still.
 
Oh boy! I feel for you!

So, how are the chances Trump staged EVERYTHING up until now and reveals himself as a saint in the following years?

All those sexists.

You do realize that you can be a woman and implicitly biased against your own gender, right? Same goes for race. My own grandmother told me she "didn't think a woman was fit to be President." There is a wealth of psychology research on the topic.

This does not absolve this campaign from its sins despite you wanting to believe that.

Hillary is done, right? They didn't want her in 2008, and not in 2016. Surely she has to give up on the dream...?

She is beyond damaged goods at this point. She knows that.

Even if she wanted to run again, there is no way in hell they would nominate her again. Not after losing like this.

Not as deep as he thinks
I'm feeling so many emotions right now. I'm mad, disappointed, sad, heartbroken. I am going to try and relax and hope for the best, but man. I cannot believe people would vote for someone like Trump. I just can't. The speech Van Jones did was absolutely incredible. He shares most of my sentiments the most.

Hope we can get through this, USA GAF.

Are you fucking serious right now? The right-wing represents hate and bigotry. My life is ruined. As are the lives of all of those that I love. Not to mention the world is screwed. Especially Poland. Fuck you.

Goddamn that must feel shitty.

Obama is probably talking to Clinton and thinking what he can accomplish to salvage his legacy in two months before the Republic goes full Bananas

Oh god, reading this made me realize my sister who takes a ton of medication for various issues won't able to use my mother's insurance anymore and she just turned 18...fuck.
