Here's something GAF might understand.

Tolerance and love means listening to and respecting someone who voted for Trump.

If you can't do that, you don't get it.

Tolerance and love is not equal to delivering shrill sermons at people.

P.S. I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not white. Thanks!

I do agree with this, and I guess I'll just say I'm not white also so I don't get attacked abrasively for my opinion. Please don't hurt anyone.

There is some really disturbing reverse hate coming out of this, we've even seen it in this thread. Its unfortunate and frankly now seeing it play out we were always doomed for this no matter who won. People are just so damn fractured right now and you are seeing people on both sides lashing out. People calling Muslims / brown people the enemy, people saying hating white people is ok.

Its rough, but I have faith in humanity at the end of the day. We will get through this shit. Love you all.

I believe humanity will prevail.

I no longer consider America in that banner.

If we have failed on healthcare, we are now poised to fail the two biggest macro-problems to face the planet and society this century.

How the fuck can you have faith? Really, be real.

You keep thinking that the ball is both in black and white people's court. It's not, and never has been. This idea that black people are as much a problem as white people are in terms of the racial fabric of this country is nonsense and a uniquely pathological problem with the white American community, and if you're going to be preaching about togetherness, I suggest you talk about it to that white majority that just handed the world over to an alt-right government for the next generation tonight.

I would if I could bro! All I can do is ensure those around me stay informed.
 
I apologize for the two chortles I exhorted concerning Brexit. I am absolutely horrified about the future.

This is some next level shit I'm not ready to comprehend sober.

I never thought I'd feel worse about an election than in 2000. :(

Time to ramp up looking for jobs in more liberal nations as the US will never mesh with my world view, nor my fiancé who is even more liberal and has long been wanting to get out.
 
...Fuck.

I'm worried. I'm trying to be hopeful. My girlfriend went to bed after a day of panicking about the presidency and I assured her of a Hilary win.

I just don't know what to do. I'm really speechless.

I did the exact same thing for months. I feel like a liar

White man in AZ and my GF and I are devastated and in disbelief that so many people elected an idiot that wants to set this country back two decades. I'm disgusted and shocked.

I think the gender issue is understated here. I think it drove a lot of the trump vote as well as the xenophobia

Honestly this is extremely accurate and reflects the democratic fuckup. I voted for Bernie in the primary but switched my alliance because I thought that Hillary was the best person to lead this country (I still do but that doesn't matter at this point)

Trust me, it brings me no joy whatsoever to have predicted the conclusion.

I don't know where we are heading at this point, but its a long way down.

Fuck it.

I don't care who runs America. I'm not going to let anyone hold me down from providing for my family and friends even if I am a Southern black man in his late 20s. No matter what happens I'm still going to live my life and do what I can regardless of who's in charge. You can't break me and you can't break us. We're going to fight harder than ever for change and it'll continue to happen until this is wiped out. I'm back on my grind harder than ever and I'll be damned if anyone tries to stop me.

I'm back on my shit. American can America but I've got people to provide and protect.

For you.
Here's something GAF might understand.

Tolerance and love means listening to and respecting someone who voted for Drumpf.

If you can't do that, you don't get it.

Tolerance and love is not equal to delivering shrill sermons at people.

P.S. I didn't vote for Drumpf. I'm not white. Thanks!

There's no tolerance and love for people that literally hate tolerance and love and want to take away your rights, deport you, call you racial slurs, murder you, profile you. YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO TOLERATE THAT.

Ah yes. Don't be mad minorities, go and hug a white person. Unity is your responsibility now.

hillary gettin beat by donald fucking trump WHAT THE FUCK HILLARY

WHAT SDFKJLKS;lksdfklj

She didn't mobilize white blue-collar America the way he did. She said there would be new jobs. He promised he'd bring back their old jobs.

Pretend you're someone who is uneducated and upset with your circumstances, and just plain incapable of seeing those old jobs are truly gone. Which sounds better?
 
The amount of hyperbole in here is ridiculous. Calm down. Reality is if you went into a coma and woke up 2 years from now, your life will likely be no different in terms of this election and the effects of it.

Like alarming levels of delusion.

Jesus fucking christ.....

Donald Trump will become the most powerful man in the world. That's fucking terrifying.
 
Anybody from New Zealand? This is the first time in my life where I think I want to leave the country and I don't know that I'll be coming back.

NZer here, what do you want to know? We have our problems but have thankfully been shielded from the insane far right movements that've been taking place in so many western countries over the last few years.

Today has absolutely killed my faith in humanity. I just can't believe the Hillary smear campaign actually worked and they elected that fucking moron. It's unbelievable. I feel horrible for all the shit American minorities are now going to have to go through.
 
And just like that my salary was slashed. In one day the Mexican Peso went from $18.3 to $20.4 pesos per USD. And I don't even want to imagine what would happen if Trump goes through with dissolving NAFTA or taxing the fuck out of us to pay for his godforsaken wall.

This is a nightmare. And if he wants less illegals crossing the border this isn't helping because he's hurting our economy already and he hasn't even been elected officially.
 
People are just willing to give the fuck up because some bad shit happens. Fuck all of you who give up just based on a GE. If that's all it takes, you are brittle cowards. Our system of governance is not yet collapsed. We can do a lot more good by staying up and being rational than by throwing our hands up and assuming that the only thing that matters in our country is an electoral vote.

No. The only time that our electoral process means more than we do is when we let it mean more than we do.

There's nothing that can be done.

It's over.

What do you think can be done when Republicans have control over all 3 branches of government and they are ready to go?

They are ready to tear down progressive politics forever and they will do it.

It's over.

Sometimes, the best thing to do is take an L. Realize you lost the war, but not your life, your person. That you still have freedom of movement.
 
So is Paul Ryan still going to resign tomorrow? I can't tell if a Trump win will influence his decision positively or negatively since he tried to distance himself from Trump.

Right, but now we have to see how those "jail her!" and "Hillary for prison!" positions work out.

Yeah. :(

Not trying to shit-stir, but I can genuinely see a new form of Civil War/armed resistance coming against the US government. There's too many groups that will be fucked with by Trump/Pence for something major not to occur. :/
