I am just shocked. Questioning everything I ever believed. How the FUCK could the polls have gotten it so wrong? Were the fucking Trump supporters right about it being rigged all along?
I am still struggling to come to terms with all of this. I wouldn't even be mad if a Trump supporter started to gloat because I feel so fucking stupid right now. Everything went the exact opposite of how it should have.
The best we can do now is just hope that Trump won't be so bad after all. It fucking kills me that the bigots got this victory, but maybe Trump himself won't be that bad.

This is the usual presidential fluff speech...Trump is giving a surprisingly (or unsurprisingly I am not sure) generic speech.
It is very rambling though...sounds like he is going to fall asleep. Overall it is a pretty poor speech, but I have never put truck in the presidential speeches...It is always filled with fluff and platitudes...

I've heard he's pretty good with computers.

the Democrats should open up the primaries to both parties so they can get a better sense of who the people like more.
I'll be honest he probably knows about computers than some lawmakers.

More socially libertarian ideas will help at least a bit. Guns/weed/prostitution, things like that

As a European I am stunned.... never thought Trump would win. What a sad day. I hope this won't mean he's dragging the USA in more misery.
Well, the crowd is what it is, his main base is what it is.
Just let us hope he just catered to them and is not like them...
It's because the liberal left-wing has so much to lose - Roe vs Wade, LGBTQ, Gay Marriage, ACA, environmental protections...
The right/alt-right don't need to spew hatred. They're set to quietly remove rights from everyone and everything they don't like. They don't need to make any noise about it.

_/¯Not really guaranteed. At this point, it's unclear how SCOTUS will play out. The Dems almost certainly won't be able to keep Trump's Garland replacement from being confirmed, but that will be Scalia's replacement and there's no way the nominee will be as bad a Scalia anyway. People are banking on RBG leaving soon, but it's possible that she stays on and I have a sneaking suspicion that Trump is gonna be a one-term president. The worst case scenario is losing Breyer or Kennedy (who is pretty moderate all things considered), but they're both relatively young.

Trump turning centrist out of nowhere, but at the same time not super unsurprising. Presidents are often know to go more center than the stuff they ran on.
Still bullshit, but its interesting to hear him. Maybe it won't be as truly awful as it seemed

This what I don't get. Like wtf happened? So many women don't care about electing a rapist? Jesus.

It might not be the best speech in the world but its better than announcing you won't be doing one at all.

She earned every dime.
There's fuckload of reasons to attack the fuckwits that just guaranteed hell for minorities and the taking away if their rights. Every fucker who voted for him is responsible for this fucking mess.

Trump supporters are idiots so they don't know what "establishment" actually means in the context of government.

Hillary is still married to a man that cheated on her several times. So feminist.
And like Susan Sarandon said:"I'm not voting with my vagina". Women are not going to vote Hillary simply because she's a woman, they don't like her.

Hey, maybe there's a chance his child rape case tomorrow goes in our favor and he's thrown in jail..?
It doesn't really matter what he actually is(though I think he's made it pretty clear who he actually is). What he will be is a rubber stamp for the tea partiers regardless.

Then you don't actually believe in love and tolerance.
What you really believe in is issuing blanket condemnations and mouthing pious slogans.
Not the same.

Well at least we're getting 4 years worth of memes.
I was in Washington DC two years ago and stopped by the White House on a lovely fall afternoon. Postcard pretty I would say.
There are always people about, tourists and activists, the lot. But there was this one guy. He didn't say a word. Young, maybe mid 30s, long hair, shirtless. He was pacing back and forth the length of the fence, holding his middle finger towards the White House. Just that. Nobody paid him any mind.
After almost an hour of this I found myself standing close to his route and I risked asking him why he was doing that. He politely answered "this (President Obama) isn't a man I consider to represent me as a citizen of this country". At the time I simply dismissed him as another insane right wing brainwashed nut.
But now, If I could meet him again, I'd apologize for even entertaining that assumption about his actions. Because that's exactly how I feel about Mr. Trump being my representative as a citizen of the United States of America.

Hearing him talk about Ben Carson and Mike Hukabee is the scariest thing. I can't even imagine the fuckery of the cabinet
