[kuppy]

While Don't Stop Believing certainly isn't the right song choice it is better than seeing a devastated crowd.

 

[cordy]

Trump winning is like a series setting up an antagonist that runs roughshod for the next few seasons. Lord.

 

[Frozenprince]

Gingrich is going to be secretary of state

Hahahaha man. Fuck this country.

 

[Fusebox]

Spider Jerusalem with the on-point truth bombs as always. Vote #1 The Beast.

 

[Werd]

CNN going through how over PA is but won't actually call it for some reason.

 

[CTLance]

My condolences, USA.

 

[LaNaranja]

This man regrets the election more than everyone

Wow dude looks bummed. What are the chances we get a low energy victory speech where he mumbles through it?

 

[Zeuanimals]

I agree, much of the agrument people have made for voting for Clinton was tacticaal - Bernie could never win but she could - well she hasn't won...she was given a lot of leeway, and she hasn't one. This is a massive fail on the part of Hillary and the Democrats...

What the hell did you want her to do? Nothing phased people when it came to Donald but if Hillary stubbed her toe, it would've been enough to bury her. I mean, what the fuck?

 

[digdug2k]

Should have nominated Sanders, instead of the most hated person in America.

Trump's unfavorables were and always have been higher than Clintons.

 

[VanquishUK]

Ban him!

He doesn't quality was on low I misread his hat xD

 

[The Sum of Zero]

I hearby trademark the term "trumpfuckery". We'll b eusing it alot for the next 4-8 years.

 

[Volimar]

CBSNews saying that Podesta is going to say "It's too close to call." This might not get wrapped up tonight.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

US Flag upside down

 

[Kathian]

How have they not called fucking Alaska

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Sucks. But we'll all survive. Trumps gonna outsource 99% of the job anyway

That outsourcing is the worst part about all this.

 

[Hip Hop]

Should have nominated Sanders, instead of the most hated person in America.

I really feel like Sanders would have won this easily.

 

[Syrus]

that's not the point, she still wins those demographics handily.

She didnt get Obamas numbers which would have won PA , FL etc

 

[NoFaceNico]

dude, that thread was deleted like over two hours ago. wtf?

 

[SgtWiggles]

I'd like to thank all the idiots out there for voting Harambe, Trump and third party, you just screwed the world.

Idiots should have voted for Kodos like me.

 

[lastflowers]

In essence, yes they have, and I'm not talking about just the thread. This line of thought that we should treat all views with respect has been the Republican party's complaint about political correctness for decades, because they have repeatedly gotten upset when being called racists for doing blatantly racist things. See people like Gov. Paul LePage and Joe Arpaio.

The fact is, whenever anyone would say that something is racist, no matter how blatant, the response on the right was to put their fingers in their ears and yell about political correctness.



Trump isn't just a racist, he's the most racist candidate we've had in decades. He got into politics on racism, he opened his campaign with racism, and he peppered his rhetoric and policies with racism. His campaign was filled with so much fucking racism that there is absolutely no coming up with a legitimate reason for voting for him like people could with previous candidates. Trump took away that plausible deniability that the Republicans had through political correctness.



If these people and the Tea Party actually pushed for relief for areas that were struggling after certain industries left, they likely would have gotten something. Acknowledgement of their problems at the very least and serious help at best.

But they didn't. Instead, they focused on sewing mistrust of the government and racist conspiracy theories like the idea that Barack Obama is a secret Muslim (something that 66% of Trump's supporters believe). They pushed against LGBTQ rights, against civil rights, against police reform.

They did NOT ask for help where they needed it. They chose to focus on other things, and they got exactly what they wanted. So while you and other people are saying that we should listen to these people, you're ignoring the fact that we have been. If they wanted help, all they had to do was ask for it. They didn't, because they didn't care about that as much.



Hillary called racists, neo-nazis, and GamerGators deplorable, and she lost for it. Based on that, there isn't any subgroup of these people that can be alienated without consequences.

Hoooo-ly SHIT.

Out of touch a bit????

 

[Username1198]

Don't lose hope yet

Thanks but I'm gonna be realistic about this. I'm already planning what to take back and what to get rid of etc. fucking heartbroken man

 

[UnObtainium17]

Jesus fuck Pence in the white 🏡

 

[SchrodingerC]

Steven Dennis ‏@StevenTDennis 3m3 minutes ago

A horrifying thought, especially with Pence now as VPe.
Please SC, hold out for 4 years.

My god, this mentality is exactly how the Dems lost.

Only one of those 3 things Trump even talks about anymore. You can try to pin it on whatever you want, demographics tells a different story. Polling tells a different story.

 

[Obliterator]

Hilary not giving a concession speech is pretty lame

 

[cordy]

CBSNews saying that Podesta is going to say "It's too close to call." This might not get wrapped up tonight.

We better get a swerve.

 

[Fox Mulder]

If clinton somehow does not have a speech tonight, man oh man will there be a lot of clinton voters who will be pissed

It makes her a coward. Thanks for ruining the Democratic party hildawg!

 

[Kill3r7]

This one is as much on the media and pollsters as it is on the American public. A complete failure across the board, between Brexit and this BS one really has to start questioning the methodology and science of polling. Nate Silvers must feel vindicated but I am certain he is as depressed as the rest of us about the result.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

As a European, USA electing Trump seems like shooting yourself in the foot because it was itching.

Welp, I hope this guy is just an ignorant sociopath and nothing more.

 

[Sydle]

Trump won in a landslide, and I'm not cynical enough to think he won entirely because of racists.

The dems need to do a better job with disenfranchised rust belt voters.

Sucks. But we'll all survive. Trumps gonna outsource 99% of the job anyway

How do you beat someone who is promising their jobs, which are gone for good or short lived at best, are coming back? Do you up the ante on the lie?

 

[Lime]

This isn't some game or both sides or "next election" bullshit, this is real and will have severe consequences for the human race in the face of climate change, white supremacy, inequality, bigotry, and all the other shit that need to be addressed immediately in the 21st century.

How the fuck are you going to meet the challenge of climate change with such a fascist government?

 

[Seventy70]

Wow dude looks bummed. What are the chances we get a low energy victory speech where he mumbles through it?

Let's not. Trump wanted to win all along. He had so much riding on this. He burnt so many bridges and his name was pretty much tarnished. That's just one picture.

My god, this mentality is exactly how the Dems lost.

Agreed. At some point you just have to accept facts and adjust if you want to win. The fact was that Hillary wasn't liked whether it was justified or not.

 

[Izuna]

Watch as this pours over the the UK. MSN.COM comments are even more deplorable rn

 

[SimpleDesign]

Oh well. This is the dumbest thing I've seen politically in my lifetime but what can you do?

 

[CTLance]

How have they not called fucking Alaska

Everybody is still in disbelief.

Is what I'm guessing.

 

[sam777]

Is Angry Joe being serious right now?

 

[7DollarHagane]

Uneducated people are exactly that, uneducated. We need education so bad I'm this country. Seriously, if you have any customer interaction you will see gaps in understanding of basic things.

So you're saying education, and not shame/anger is the key?

 

[TheZink]

I really feel like Sanders would have won this easily.

I don't but I think Biden could have won and this is coming from a Republican.

You may recall that the years that followed didn't do so well. The Great Something...

So Ann Coulter apparently is writing the Bush and Eisenhower Administrations out of the canon.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Amir0x... post if you are o.k.!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I really feel like Sanders would have won this easily.

I think he would have as well. Would of been way more composed, less baggage and a lot to offer. He was the ultimate candidate to get the young vote as well (less than 40 years old).

 

[Trickster]

NO FUCK WHY AMERICA?

 

[shaneskim]

You had one job America. One Job! Sad!

 

[joms5]

I'm never gonna apologize nor be shy about the fact that Trump supporters are terrible fucking people, they're idiots, racist, xenophobic, sexist idiots, no way around it, no discussion about it, they and all of their ilk are cancer who actively want to hurt me and other people like me for my skin color as well as fuck my country. They can fuck off. I'll never forget this fucking moment.

Did that poster vote for Trump to slight you?

Don't take it out on him. Lucky he even went out to vote.

 

[DarkestHour]

With the way trump flip flops, I'm feel pretty good that he won't enact any of that.

He can't. That's not how the government works. The President cannot just come in and do all kinds of crazy shit as he or she wishes.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

And there is the lock her up chants again on CNN as they report from Trump HQ.

 

[nekkid]

Obama is going to look incredible in the history books.

I've had no sleep. British middle class white guy here, wondering what kind of awful world his son is growing up in.

2016 has basically drained every shred of faith I had in mankind.
