Well we can finally dispel the fairy tale ideology of "love > hate".

I'm with you man. Something about civil rights issues in 2016 was driving me up the wall and now America voted in a racist.

I'm at my breaking point having to live in a country with this much racism. I don't know how black people deal with it.

So, the democrats manage to nominate the most unlikeable candidate they could muster instead of their best option barring Obama and manage to fuck up so significantly that they even lose against a lunatic racist? Congrats on that I guess. And for the people voting Trump into the White House: I can only ask why.

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?

So what are these people supposed to do then, exactly? Just go away and die quietly (but keep voting Democrat until they do)?

Earlier today I said that Donald Trump was the best thing to happen to Hillary Clinton. Both historically weak candidates, but Trump was widely considered more disliked and seemed in a markedly weaker position going into the election. She would not have a chance against a more competent Republican opponent. Trump was a clown, and the white nationalist audience, while large, would not be enough to overcome the minority demographics in the US. A Clinton win was assured. I see now I was wrong. Hillary Clinton was the best thing that ever happened to Donald Trump.

You can, right now actually! Step one: Stop saying "We all need to come together," and instead say "White people need to come together with black people." There; wasn't so hard, was it?

I got no problem with that. How is that received on the other end tho? Lots of suspect looks happening right now that are immediate incorrect judgements. It's sad cause where I grew up, Tacoma, WA, that type of shit was never an issue cause we all wanted to come up. Nowadays the perception has changed even when it's unwarranted. At some point everyone has to come together as Americans or there will be no progress. Not denying there's an issue just looking for a real solution.

It seems like the whole world is repeating the same mistakes we here in Finland went through a few years ago. The populist True Finns party got a big share of the votes by shouting the same kind of stuff Brexiters and Trump promise. it didn't take long for them to tank in polls though because they didn't really have any real plans to implement their policies when they were in power.

Too bad now the same cycle is happening in world superpowers instead of small harmless countries like Finland.

How did Finland recover?
 
I have two internship applications to a number of U.S. based publications I'm in the middle of.


I get the feeling I won't finish them anymore.
Where can I even go lol

I'm trying to think of places I'll settle down in a decade



Before it was Europe but then America started getting liberal so I was fine with staying, and now Brexit and Trump happened in the same year

Uh, Scandinavia? I don't wanna have to learn a new language :/

Really interested in how Hillary concedes on this.

How do you concede and even remotely suggest that the country is in good hands for the next 4 years and that you support the notion that Donald J Trump is our president elect.

Crazy

As a Korean, I'm so fucking worried right now.

After a fucking idiotic loon of a president controlled by Rasputin destroyed all relations with North Korea, now this orange bastard, who says protecting South Korea is a waste of money becomes POTUS.

Second Korean war incoming?

I am in S. Korea as well, but I think Trump will keep American bases here. Even if the Korean government refuses to pay money. The military won't recommend a withdrawal and Trump will want the bases to remain to intimidate China.
 
so who thinks the republicans in the senate are gonna go ahead and nuke the filibuster so the dems can't even hope to stop them from passing horrible things
 
"What did he mean by this?"

Donald Trump won off the white American vote. Donald Trump used xenophobic, racist, bigoted, white supremacist rhetoric. Admitted white supremacists endorse Trump left and right.

White America voted for Donald Trump, and I will criticize white America for the next 4-8 years regardless of who gets caught in their feelings over it.



That's what I meant by that.

Gutted,

So he definitely won?

Why is it the right wing nuts always seem to win?

There was a chance to fundamentally change America with a liberal judge but now America will be socially conservative for as year another 20 years.

Today will be a productive day at work for me as I will be avoiding the Internet and radio to avoid the flare up of rage.

It hasn't been called yet, but the numbers in PA, WI and MI don't bold well for Clinton.

It's basically over. If it were reversed in the same situation, Clinton would have been declared the winner already. People are clinging here.

One thing's for sure, I'm moving the hell out of Wisconsin once I'm done with school. This is a red state through and through now and I no longer have any reason to be here. Trump, Walker, Johnson....jesus this state has disappointed me for the last time.
 
The only people who have anything to look forward to are white, straight males. I weep for my country as a white, straight male.

I'm sorry. I am Californian and we tried. Just wait until it comes to appointing judges.

You understand that his party now controls:

- The Presidency
- The Senate
- The House
- The Supreme Court

right? That's all 3 branches of government, and both houses of Congress. They literally can do whatever they want and get away with it. There's no checks and balances or vetos at play anymore.

The Supreme Court takeover especially will haunt America for decades.

This is what I'm afraid of...

I've never been more mad at my country right now, fuck off America. Me and my family didn't choose to have this skin color, my friends didn't choose to be LBGT, my friends didn't choose to be women, hope you like bankruptcy.
 
Black "racism" in this topic is telling white people not to tread on them.

Is it as bad as telling black people not to breath (trump racism).

A) Nobody has said to 'coddle racists'. This discussion is coming up because, again, people are literally throwing all white people into this bucket because of a slight majority voting for a certain candidate.

B) ASsuming everyone is racist simply because they like a racist candidate is dangerous thinking. It primarily comes down to them thinking certain issues are more important. Period. Do I think it's right to do that? Obviously not, I didn't vote for Trump. But I do think it does no good to scream at the top of your lungs at somebody about how terrible they are if you expect them to take you seriously, because...

C) YOU NEED THESE PEOPLE. At least some of them. If you didn't, Hilary would've won. You are never going to meet anyone in the middle to work out the issues in the country if you close the door before the conversation begins. Plenty of them might not meet you halfway either, fuck those people, but if you won't do it either then you're never going to get anywhere.

Racist white people are a SUBSET of people in the country, a relatively small one most likely. Then you've got the 'diet racist' white people - which I think it's more accurate to describe as racially insensitive rather than racially hateful as people would characterize them. These are people that just don't care about racial stuff, maybe have misinformed opinions in many cases, but more than anything they care more about other aspects than race. THis is probably the majority component of what we're talking about. Beyond these people, are those that vote for Trump for entirely non-racial reasons, but actually are super uncomfortable with his racial assertions, these people are probably a small minority as well. Finally, you move to white people that didn't even vote republican. Not a majority, but a VERY large number (obviously).

When you start saying "Fuck white people" you're alienating every single one of those groups, when the reality is the only one worth alienating is the first one - the actual racist fucks. The only one you can AFFORD to alienate.

Beautiful post that sums up what is wrong with a lot of extreme liberals on this site.
 
Well I fear for my fellow Sikhs in America as the new President himself couldn't even be bothered to educate himself about the difference between a Sikh and Muslim.

The only thing that gonna keep the country together is a unification of all religious, colored, and races including white people standing up against hate together.

Not just one race only supporting their own.
