The liberals have to face reality now. They thought that facts, competency, truth and humanity are important to the people in politics. But at the end fear, populism and publicity won. We wish for a better world, but we sadly don't life in one.
George Bush Jr was elected for a second term, this is not a surprise.
A lot of hard righters said the world was ending when Obama got elected. It didnt and here we are 8 years later.
This election is lightyears worse for America if he makes good on even half of his hate filled ideas, but this too shall pass.
Please just love one another and do something more active than simply voting and expecting a bunch of DC political scum to do everything for you. DC isnt gonna fix America. We have to do it ourselves.
It's a n**** wake up call. Let it be known what the masses think of minorities. Let it be known that none of that "racism is dying with the older generations" shit is true (white millennials came out for Trump). Finally a politician that 'speaks his mind' and goes beyond the coded language to accomplish white supremacy. The reality of this country has been unearthed
Exactly. The United States never got better, it's racist, sexist, and is full of bigots. And people tell us, "minorities" that times have changed and to stop bring up the past. The past is present and it will neverchange.Yup it's a confirmation that this Country is inherently racist as FUCK and you should never forget it.
I think you missed the part about the Republican congress. Try reading again.Some of you seriously overestimate / worst case scenario what's going to happen. It's the same thing as 8 years ago, when everyone said Obama would take our guns, or whatever. Obama couldn't even shut Guantanamo, and we're still bombing 8 (last I checked) countries. In 4 years, it'll still be the same broken America, and not much will be different. We have a [broken] two party system, and it's going to switch back and forth every 8 years or so. Sure, Trump is a fucking idiot, but it's not the first time we've had a fucking idiot in the Oval Office. We'll survive. Trump isn't going to outlaw abortion, or criminalize gay marriage any more than Obama was going to take our guns or convert us to some muslim/communist dystopia.
Until we start putting up candidates that both sides think are stand up individuals, we're going to continue to have race to the bottom politics where everyone is scared to death of the opposing candidate. This is a perfect example of where the road of voting for the lesser of two evils gets us... the bottom of the barrel.
Yeezus is coming

Jesus Christ dude. Breathe.
Trump will be a bad president for many reasons, most social. He won't end the world.
I swear, the fear-mongering is on about 10,000 right now.
Literally the last time we had a presidency even remotely this conservative we had another recession and economic failure on a national level, Trump literally has no political experience and bankrupted multiple casinos over the course of two years. There's no hyperbole, he's absolutely unfit to run our country.Some of you seriously overestimate / worst case scenario what's going to happen. It's the same thing as 8 years ago, when everyone said Obama would take our guns, or whatever. Obama couldn't even shut Guantanamo, and we're still bombing 8 (last I checked) countries.

Amazing speech! I got all teary-eyed. I just feel this very patriotic presence with him yet a humbled heart and yet a strong willed person. This man ...guys, those of you against him, let it go, lets just let this all go and rally together for our country and for our new President Mr. Donald Drumpf.
I feel this guy will be one of the best Presidents of our country, ever! He just has this humbled down to earth attitude that ..well , at times makes mistakes with his mouth but he learns and that's all that matters ..you can see this, we gotta let go of this nasty division and just unite! This man is going to help make America great again!
God Bless America! He was elected President for a reason!
Are Australian girls hot
Just don't come by boat, we will lock you up for lifeI feel like I'm in some weird fucked up alternate reality.
Good luck America, you're going to need it but fundamentally, this decision will affect the entire world too.
Brexit and this just proves democracy doesn't work.
Nope, you're right. Trump and Guiliani have advocated for national stop and frisk. With a Republican congress, and a right wing supreme court.....well....
Kanye Instagram comments are fucking Lit right now lolYeezus is coming
Idiocracy
Jesus Christ dude. Breathe.

.People really need to stop thinking of Trump as just another choice.
The motherfucker has no political experience, vacillates like a room fan, and is barely coherent. He has Russian fingers in his ass and Pence in his ear.
The time for flowers and rainbows is over. The majority of the voting public has shown they prefer Trump to a competent leader.
I agree that the rest of us are going to have to take more action.
Seconded. This attitude is poisonous.I have friends who are trying to go through the path of citizenship that will be deported to god knows where because of you. My own rights and the rights of all I hold dear are ruined for decades. Fuck you.
I already felt physically ill a couple of hours ago when it became evident Trump was gonna win. Literally physically ill. All I feel like doing is laughing at this point.Please stop laughing. This isn't funny. This isn't for the lols or what the fuck ever. This is serious.
Like fourteen thousand fucking people wrote in fucking harambe as fixing president.
This country is profoundly sick. Way sicker than I thought.
Don't fucking laugh.

I said it in the other thread. Fuck it. Policies don't matter, experience doesn't fucking matter. The dems should just run kanye in 2020, apparently the US presidential election is just a giant gong show now.
