U.S. Presidential Election Day Megathread [Official]

[Zoranon]

Trump won states full of: racists, biggots, homophobes, baby boomers, rednecks, hicks, sexists, and otherwise ignorant and intolerant shitstains.

Just like himself. He appealed to America's lowest common denominator and it worked out in his favor. It doesn't matter how terrible of a person he is, what he's done, said, or failed to do. The stupid, poor, coal mining whites of America think he's their ticket to something worthwhile and so they cast their lot in with him. I don't fault Trump, and I'm not even angry. America has always been a horrible place at its core, Trump just shone the light on it for all to see.

infracted - trolling

You guys never learn do you? Identity politics is one of the chief reasons you lost this election. That and nominating an awful candidate of course.

[Nehezbegar]

The tears, are .... sooooo ... delicious

[Tierbook]

So why are you advocating authoritarianism, that has been proven to not guarantee people's welfare at all throughout history?

You said PC culture was political equality, yet you are advocating taking away political equality by removing the rights of some people to vote. Do you not see the clash there?

Authoritarianism is only bad when the other guys are in charge. You've got to remember that with Democrats. Republicans tend to realize that even if they don't like the other sides president elect it's not like they can do jack shit without Congress.

So who's winning the post-election tantrum championship?



Ahahahahahaha

¿? You got me confused.

[BuckSparkles]

It gets very, very difficult to 'love' when you have to fight tooth and nail for your right to exist let alone for parity.

I am sure you will be fine.

[Mormolyce]

In other news, it seems that the libertarian party was unable to reach it's 5% objective.

In case anyone needed a palpable illustration of why we have a two party system.

Two of the most hated candidates in living memory in front of the main parties, an unprecedented opportunity for a third party candidate, and what happens?

[Gestopft]

I don't think feminism really mattered, it was just used for potential votes. And it failed horribly.
First female in the oval office. Feminists for Hillary. You must have noticed it.

My vote for Hillary had nothing to do with her being a woman, but it's not completely insignificant that there are multiple MUSLIM countries that have had female leaders before the USA. Whether you like why they vote for it or not, the issue is significant to many women.

[Deleted]

All of you sjw trash, silence.

This pretty much

Trump won because SJWs/feminists went too far with hatred against men and smug superiority, thus alienating the majority of people

To all the SJWs: this is on you

[spinner981]

Well said. Fuck the lot of you.

Glad to see the real hard hitting left-wing commentary coming out of the woodwork. Just where would we be without the intellectual gems of "You're all racists." and "Fuck you." to spur this already thought provoking discussion about American politics?

[Stormspellz]

At least GOP won't get super majority in the senate..so...thats something I guess.

[Venant]

Well, I was certainly wrong about who I thought would win over in the prediction thread - but I'm going to take some consolation in the validation of my decision to liquidate my holdings (the markets are crashing) and emigrate. My sincere condolences to my (for a little bit longer) fellow citizens who will be stuck under the rule of an American Hitler, particularly the minority who do not deserve what they are about to receive in coming years.


about sums it up for me.

I suggest that while you make your escape, avoid offers of free helicopter rides.

[Dextroden]

Lol now Clinton claiming irregularities. Another flip flop lol.

There we go. Right on time.

[Krille]

MAGA boys

This is Trump, MAGA BOOOIIZ.

[Stelio Kontos]

Lets just hope you don't end up on the wrong side of it

I didn't vote for Hillary, so I wasn't on the wrong side.

[Glorious Leader]

People that think we are all going to die simply don't understand how much power the president actually has.

Also I keep seeing the "all whites are racists because trump won" on twitter and it's getting old.

Reps control.the house, the senate, the presidency and govern the vast majority of the states. They will pack the supreme court. They will reverse virtually all the progressive legislation as meager as it was under obama, they will deregulate finance even more, they will reverse policy on climate change. It is an unmitigated catastrophe.

It gets very, very difficult to 'love' when you have to fight tooth and nail for your right to exist let alone for parity.

Tone down the drama will you? I must have missed Trump promising death penalty for gays and other groups like them.

[drakonblayde]

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Bernie was the anti establishment candidate.

Not necessarily. He's still somewhat part of the establishment, and it would have taken some back room dealing in order to get him elected.

Trump has managed to not only beat the Democratic party, but he's effectively beaten his own as well.

He doesn't come with all the political baggage and favors owed that Bernie would have come with.

The final knock on Bernie is that he still acts like a politician. Trump... not so much. He says what he thinks, even if it's not politically wise, and a large part of his appeal is that since he doesn't act like a politician during the race, the hope is that he won't act like one after he's elected.

The American people are not only electing Donald Trump tonight. It's also sending Washington a referendum on their performance. Saying pretty loud and clear that we're sick of your shit, do your fucking job.

Fujimori disagrees.

[Taneras]

Well said. Fuck the lot of you.

Is this what Hillary was talking about when she said "When they go low we go high!"?

[Mormolyce]

Well done America. Like the UK you made the correct call and voted for actual change.

And they're about to have a very similar experience of the actual delivery of Trump as Britain is having of Brexit
