This has broken me for tonight. I'm gonna try to get some sleep, then see how I can lose myself tomorrow. I don't drink or do drugs, so I'll have to find something else. Good night everyone.

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.
Most Americans disagree with you. Democracy isn't getting the results you want.

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.
What's wrong with you. You literally voted for hate, vitriol, and idiocy, and are angry that people berated you for it. Congrats on voting for an idiot.

People are way too emotional and dramatic right now. The world isnt going to end because your candidate of
choice didnt win. There are 3 branches in government, it's not a dictatorship.

They control every branch of government, will make supreme Court picks, and are set up with gerrymandering to take advantage of the next census as well.

What... what the fuck is going on now. From what I've read the majority of the electorate in America are women. WOMEN!

How did Women vote for Trump? Just how?

So what's up with this rise of nationalistic authoritarian anti-establishment "we need change" sentiment in the world?

UK, The Philippines and now, The US.
Looks like the rest of Europe isn't too far off

This isn't democracy failing. The ugly side of it? For sure.

Well on a grain of sand sized better news. Nevada passed marijuana legalization. But the orange shit stain will probably enforce even stricter laws against it.

Took a nap, woke up, had my breakdown, now I'm laughing, I'll probably cry later.

Sigh...Wisconsin, you were in truth a key state that flipped, and my fellow Wisconsinites let me down.

Oh well, getting ready for a Republican controlled everything.
