    I don't know man, from what I can make out its looking like it mostly comes down to Florida which is being painted as, "Too close to call."

    I'd knock an extra out real quick, not looking great.

    Well, I made a pretty big commitment to moving to a monastery in Burma in the event of this outcome, so don't feel too bad Oz. I'm pretty sure that getting off isn't much of an option there either.

    The Democrats had this election in the bag, but instead they fucked it up by choosing such a shitty candidate.

    I think you are severely underestimating how popular trump is.

    From everything I'm hearing, Trump is the 'Fuck the System' vote, not the 'popular' vote for a lot of people?

    A lot of people hate Trump. A lot of people hate Hillary. A lot of people love Trump. Not a lot of people love Hillary.

    It seems to boil down to that. Not a good night.

    Hard to say, Trump's calculation from the beginning has been that he can polarize the electorate to win big with Whites, and secondly that Republicans would fall in line. So I think he was right on both counts.

    Democrats thought that people would care about his personal foibles, but to a lot of people those aren't bad things, maybe even badges of honor.

    No, he's really popular in certain areas. He got 49.1% of the vote in Florida. He'd still probably lose to a popular dem but no one thought he would win this morning.

    At least Oz will have a great pickup line?

    I think calutron summed it up best.

    Trump and Brexit: The UK and the USA fundamentally suck ass, at least at the median.

    I hate the majority of America. I wouldn't have cared with a McCain or Romney presidency; Trump is fundamentally different.

    Seriously, I do hate. It's full-bore hate, whether toward Bernie-or-bust third-party shitheads too naive to realize that it's not possible to achieve perfection in one's chosen. Or to the Fundamentalist Christians who enthusiastically cheer the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief because at least he's not the Clinton Antichrist (despite his standing for literally everything their Holy Book says is forbidden and her policy positions being the most obviously Christian), you all are dead to me. I wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. I hate Fundamentalist Christianity and consider it the single greatest threat to human civilization. I hate Trump. I hate my fellow Americans who are on the way to electing this jackass.

    And I'm in an existential crisis with an impending Trump win, as I work on weapons of mass destruction for my day job. So long as international relations norms are respected and they're intended (and regarded as) a deterrent, there's moral justification for what I do.

    If in Trump's hands, well, suicide is perhaps the only honorable option (given that I'm to be complicit in the destruction of millions).

    Trump is popular because Hillary has gotten away with things that would see a normal person put in jail.

    His entire position is "I'm not popular with the establishment, but she is, vote for me to see an end to that!"

    ---------- Post automerged at 15:40 ---------- Previous post was at 15:38 ----------

    I actually blame the Democrats for being such massive fuckups for Trump's win.

    It was obvious how much baggage Hillary had.

    What fucking thing did she do that should put her jail? Everyone loves to say this bullshit but they never bring anything up. If anything she lost because more people than expected are stupid trash that really wants to ban them 'others' instead of talk policy at all.
