AP has called it.
Trump is President.
Trump is President.
Democracy failed in the sense that a candidate who is the exact epitome of everything the leader of the free world shouldn't be just won. The guy who said we should bomb the families of terrorists. The guy who bragged about grabbing stranger's pussies and getting away with it because he's famous. The guy who advocated for nuclear proliferation and possibly even warfare in Asia while casually asking why we can't use nukes of our own. The reality TV star, for fuck's sake.
No dispute about the legitimacy of the results. But this is pretty much the worst case scenario, one that has to be accepted in a democracy, that sometimes free people will make the wrong decision. And yes, this guy was the wrong decision, I don't care which fucking party you affiliate with.

I'm guessing internal polling led to Hillary canceling her fireworks show.

i've been laughing at Canada the past few years but they seem to be one of the few sane western countries around these days.

I never really trusted election polls in the past, but after this election, I swear to never believe any of that horse crap again. I hope the political poll industry tanks and takes down all the people who work for it.
Seriously, you have to be feeding people lies and bullshit to predict that Clinton would win by a landside, and THIS is the result of the election.

Shit man I'm sorry to hear that. My sister has epilepsy so I can understand what you're saying about the meds. I hope everything works out though. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn out as bleak as it seems.

Game over
Don't do this...!
Same was said for Brexit.
Same was said for US presidency.
Noooooooooooo
Well, we already had state elections that painted a pretty good picture.
The right wing is gaining traction and is still going to do so.
They're far from being anywhere close to a majority though, and no serious political party will include them in a coalition.

Pretty much the same here. Tired and feel kinda gross about the world.
Even if you ignore all the horrible shit about the man, he got in with basically no policies that. Its bonkers. In legit disbelief
Ummmmm...you understand that all 3 branches of government are now Republican right? Including both houses of the legislative branch.

Trump supporters have been here. Silent on GAF, just like the silent vote across America. The amount of hate and vitriol coming from selfdescribed 'tolerant' people on GAF has been disgraceful.

One side makes hate a point of policy, the other doesn't. Seems appropriate.

She should be done. If you lost to someone like Trump, regardless of age, you have failed miserably.
They made it sound like she isn't conceding tonight no matter what.

Why do people think Hillary is going to be in the mix in 2020? A loser is rarely ever considered for a 2nd election, especially not after this dumpster fire of an election. She's also 70 years old. It's unlikely she, Bernie or Biden will be realistic considerations in 4 years.
I am as stunned as I am when I woke up following the referendum regarding Brexit.
I think the most terrifying thing in both instances, is that it showcases how divided a nation can be.
It also empowers a very scary and backward portion of society.
Good luck to the average Americans, because the rest of the world will probably turn their back and give up. I think a lot of people are giving up on themselves to be honest. Where's the hope?

This is the absolute dumbest shit I've heard yet. You didn't feel compelled to vote against a sexual predator because the media and the polls told you it was all going to be ok?
Fucking hell...

"Technically speaking, Hitler was too," would be have been a more effective response.
