VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[benjipwns]

I live 2 blocks away. I hear helicopters everywhere. The gunfire was definitely heard and my dogs went under the table hiding...

Stay safe.


Really upsetting story.

I live 2 blocks away. I hear helicopters everywhere. The gunfire was definitely heard and my dogs went under the table hiding...

Stay safe dude. Lock your doors and windows and shit

Wtf... I live in Glendora, the neighboring city! This isn't contained yet is it???

It wife is going to vote today around 5. I'm scared.

[benjipwns]

HILLARY AHEAD IN TX, AND MS. GEORGIA TOO CLOSE TO CALL. PULL THROUGH QUEEN

Fucking dumb ass florida third party voters. Thanks alot with your wasted vote.

The fact that this election isn't a blowout is a disgrace and says a lot about the American population. The fact that a sexist, racist, homophobic bigot like Trump can get this many votes is a travesty. Whenever anyone tells you that racism, sexism or any other form of prejudice is a thing of the past you only need to look at an election like this as a stark reminder of how untrue that is.

HRC just dropped to 47.9......

Fuck this country. I wish we would let the south be their own country.

Just sad how Florida has turned out. What happened to the landslide?

At this rate, House, Senate, and Pres might all be R. Democrats need a big win.

Let's bring this back!

Says hillary is a shit tier candidate against reality star Donald Trump

 

[benjipwns]

Don't know if it means anything, but the school where I voted this morning, which was practically empty this morning, is now PACKED with people. Lots of cars and long lines. Granted I live in suburban Houston so it could all be the Trump voters who haven't cast their votes yet, but it's something I've never seen before in all my years of voting. It doesn't get like this here. It usually dies down around this time.

Do these people think Gary Johnson is siphoning votes from Hillary and not Trump?

[zepblackstar]

He has over 230,000+ votes statewide but he is so out there I seriously doubt he had HIllary or Trump voters

I think now is my time to go post on GAF that I voted for Trump.

[benjipwns]

Please GAF, tell me Hillary still has a chance to win this Election. My nerves are going crazy.

GAF hyperbole is seriously giving me anxiety attacks. I think I should log off. I'm actually so afraid and am on the verge of tears right now.

GAF hyperbole is freaking me out. Please be more confident

I thought florida was in the bag for Hillary?! what the hell?

People saying not to get worked up yet.

Just tell me, is any of this good news yet? Seems like a lot of things have gone wrong so far.

I think its time to start looking at applications to Canada.

It should have been a blowout and we should have won the House. Not happy.

Yeah, I'm panicking now. Everyone was saying to calm down about FL because Broward and Miami weren't done counting yet. Not sure I can believe anymore damage control about the other swing states.

All those soap box protest voters....

Holy shit this can't be happening... Are we fucked? :*(

I'm quickly losing faith in humanity.

Such a disgusting night.

[zepblackstar]

GOP kept the house
no blowout
and some losses that won't be a disaster in the Senate.

Trump winning will be amazing to see the meltdowns.

[VomKriege]

Not gonna crow about it or anything because I really want Trump to not win, but PoliGAF being shook that the whole "silent Trump majority" might actually have a kernel of truth to it (with Trump very high in rural Florida) do raise a bitter smile on my face. They cannot say they weren't warned.

I want to glimpse some alternate universe to see how the people Benji is quoting react to a Trump win.

[benjipwns]

They put themselves into a bubble within a bubble, they were declaring Trump, nay the entire GOP for centuries, buried more often than Bill Kristol and trying to tar and feather any messengers. I mean, they thought they could win the fucking House on Hillary's coattails.

But it's their first election. This is how you learn.

An hour ago GAF was crowing about a Hillary landslide 

[benjipwns]

oh god they are going to lose their shit when the rest of PA starts reporting

[benjipwns]

I actually think we are pretty neat. This is what happens when all white people here about for years is white privelege, being called racists, being told we owe reparations ect.

Not a Trump guy at all but a lot of white people are really pissed off and this is what happens.

If this is the reaction then this divide cannot be solved with elections and words.

Lives must be paid.

he knows the trump supporters are the ones with the most guns right?

[benjipwns]

Tim Kaine is useless if he can't even guarantee huge margins in VA. Like WTF

[benjipwns]

from poligaf, not the election night thread:

I've made my peace with what happens.

Win or lose, I don't think I want to show up here anymore. Thanks for the good times. Especially you, Adam.

We'll get through this. See you all on the flipside.

Same here. I was feeling sick about hour ago but now I'll accept what happens. Nothing I can do anyway.

I'm out.

[Mupepe]

Man, my guns won't be worth anything if Trump wins.

[benjipwns]

Impeachment or assassination within 2 weeks if he wins.

The United States is hopelessly racist and sexist.

I mean, it is what it is. I don't want to have kids here anymore because of this, but it is what it is.

America is FUCKED if Trump wins. This can't be happening.

I think Clinton will still win this. That said: it's a stain on America that the fascist candidate isn't going to lose in a landslide, and that it will only give democracy a tepid mandate. Ashamed of my fellow white folks. You fuckers.

2016 is the only beginning for mainstage authoritarianism in America.

[benjipwns]

We're literally going to elect Hitler president but he'll have command of 1900 nuclear warheads.

This can't be happening.

President Trump is really happening. I can't believe this. This is worst political crisis in the US since the worst of the Great Depression. Maybe since the Civil War.

Yeah, think we're well fucked. Pretty crazy. I don't feel safe here anymore.

The media deserves a lot of blame for this election. Just a shit show by them.

God damn you Sam Wang. I thought this was going to be an pretty easy win for Clinton, and then this shit.

Going to have to stop watching this stuff. Feel the onset of a panic attack.

Goes to show you what unionization is worth today. Can't truly educate their members enough to keep them from picking a racist white nationalist because he talks tough on foreign trade.

Oh, and thanks for stoking those flames Bernie.

So, assuming Trump wins, which is looking quite likely now, legitimate question.

What do we do?

I'm thinking it's time for civil disobedience on a massive scale.

[nudemacusers]

It's not like he pushes the button lol

[Mupepe]

Meltdowns are so good and he hasn't even won.  I guess that's my consolation prize.

[benjipwns]

poligaf is posting a new page every five minutes, i couldn't keep up with the election thread

[benjipwns]

Also, this is a HUMONGOUS FAILURE OF OUR MEDIA.

They allowed these fucking idiots to get fair share and even handed coverage.

They should have been shamed into oblivion.

Hillary will probably be executed if Trump wins tonight....

He's over performing and its looking more and more suspicious, he set the narrative of the apponent stealing the election as if to raise a smoke screen this is legit scary.

I don't know what to do

i can't believe this. everything was wrong going into this? that seems impossible. i can't believe this is happening.

I honestly have no idea what comes next. I really don't. If this happens I will feel so goddamn let down by my country...

With a Trump minded law enforcement it's going to be tough.

People will die.

Seriously, wait for the result, but we need a GAF evacuation thread. I got a good amount of savings but will need GAF assistance to move to some good liberal countries.

Say goodbye to Women's Rights, LGBTQ Rights, Unions, Medicare/Medicaid, Regulations, etc

You can't shame anybody if you're totally out of power. I can't even fathom what Trump's America looks like, let alone Trump's Planet.

Guys I am more scared than I've ever been in my life. If we lose Michigan, that's IT.

Yeah my 4 year old daughter is playing right now and it's making me sick.

How do we let gate win?

Keep my head down and pray that we don't end up in a nuclear war for the next four years?

I just don't see a way to do anything but keep my head down, save money, and stay away from rural America.

In the lameduck, Obama needs to make sure that the nuclear codes are handled by a 3 person committee and not by the president. Immediate protests have to start to demand that if Trump wins tonight.

So yea:
- Obama's stuff all overturned as if he never existed
- fucked SCOTUS
- goodbye to progress

Dems fucked this up so hard.

Man, fuck all that domestic shit! He's gonna get in a trade war with China, let Russia run roughshod over Eastern Europe, and probably fucking NUKE SOMEBODY!

We can survive a couple of tough decades domestically, there's no coming back from the total collapse of global structure.

Can't imagine how Obama feels. He is now looking at the prospect of his legacy being wiped out in a few months.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

won't someone think of the most powerful man in the world

[close]

[benjipwns]

It's not Dems.

It's white people. Not all white people, obviously, but enough that they care more about ruining the lives of brown and black people and urban women than anything else.

Honestly, it makes sense. The world is becoming more global and these folks are being challenged to not see the world as revolving around them.

This is going to be a bad next decade, though. It's going to be rough.

They ran probably the best election campaign operatus in history. They had an amazing convention, and enthusiasm amongst democrats is high - people are voting FOR clinton, not against trump.

No-one realised exactly *how* bad rural white america was.

You can pin this on the Dems but we're all going to pay the price. Only a handful of Trump's cronies are going to come out of this ahead.

What could have they done that is different? Where exactly did they fail? Trump campaign basically offered explicit Racism, Sexism and Lies. The Democrats offer better policies to help the working class than what Trump is doing (with his standard Supply-Side Economics). How exactly do you counter that?

If Hillary loses, I'm legit just going to blame white people and the media. No joke.

gonna be like Jim Crow era 2.0

Goddammit, now my mom's sobbing. I guess I shouldn't have spent the last month reassuring her with all the data pointing at Clinton.

It's so sad that this election is just coming down to low info/education white people who hate Hillary because they've been told to hate Hillary for decades, and some bombastic nationalist just talks bullshit that sounds nice despite none if it making any rational sense at all. What the fuck even is this country.

Everyone with a mortgage and a 401k should be shitting their pants right now, all so we can ban gay marriage and deport imaginary terrorists. A thin skinned incoherent racist know nothing is a hair's breadth from the presidency. A guy who's in court this month for defrauding blue collar customers.

BTW, Fuck Comey. Fuck him to hell. If what he did was enough to galvanize a depressed racist base, fuck him eternally in history.

100s of millions of people will die from climate change if Trump is elected president.

Well, we're going to make the planet uninhabitable for future generations anyway.

I said that we could leave rural white voters to the GOP, but apparently not yet. And honestly, they don't want to be in a party with me, nor me with them, so I don't see the solution.

I would say billions would die of climate change

I think someone deleted my post on GAF.  I made a post with a copy-paste from fivethirtyeight from Nate at 9:56 and now it's not in my post history.

[benjipwns]

God, Detroit Free Press better fucking get this right. The idea that Donald Trump throwing shit at a wall successfully outmaneuvered the most advanced and data-driven campaign in history is too galling to be believed.

Don't forget the most qualified human being to ever do anything ever.

I wonder how drugged up Amir0x is

[benjipwns]

  you can literally see people going through the stages of grief with each post

People with kids, 529 plans for colleges, IRAs, 401ks, looking to buy a house. That's a lot of losses if Trump wins. And that's the least of the losses because a money can be replaced.

Race relations would be sent back to pre Civil rights era. Countries like China will point to this race and say that democracy doesn't work.

I can't believe third parties got >3% of FL vote as well either.

The media definitely did not do its job by pushing false equivalency throughout this.

Feels horrible right now

I'm truly baffled. Even if Trump loses this I don't even know what to think of this country. Everything is fucked.

Clinton is absurdly qualified. She is a better candidate than anyone else who decided to run in the Democratic primary. Clinton has been going on and on about working for the middle class. Her plans work towards that end.Trumps policies are cancer for the middle class. These workers will be worse off. They aren't voting for economics (of if they are then they are misinformed - thanks Media). They are voting for Racism/Sexism. What could she possibly say that is different?

Everything worked.. the lies, the fear mongering, the wall the fascism, reality TV wins the day.

Sad to be an American right now.

You're basically saying everyone is fucking stupid then. That they saw those debates, and Trump barely able to form coherent sentences, and though "Hmm, this seems like a good idea!" That's all I'm getting, that everyone is fucking stupid.

Even if Hillary wins, the future looks bleak.

i consider this a near-death experience

Well, they just don't care. They want racism.

They're also anti-intellectual.

Sucks but if she loses this. We need a popular charismatic white guy in 2020. I thought we'd moved past this, but America is still plenty racist I see.

My wife is looking into immigration attorney's as she has family in Europe. This is the worst.

I don't care slim the margin may be, so long as Hillary can pull out the victory.

Like...there's a good chance millions of lives depend on this happening.

I'd much rather have had Romney win 4 years ago...

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

Fuck NO. Dude, you assured us for weeks that that goddamn oppo was going to drop any moment, and now you're here all "oh, MI is in the bag guys." Fuck that. Sources or GTFO.

If Michigan really goes red after all the horrible shit that happened in Flint then this country is beyond redemption.

Push for these things. Work on rebuilding relationships with unions and strengthening them. Don't just give them lip service and say "Oh well that's gone and it was inevotable, sorry." It doesn't matter if they get things done so long as people believe that they're trying.

STOP ever treating Republicans as colleagues. This is war.

I'm not saying this fixes the problem. It doesn't stop racism. But it helps the Democrats PR problem, which is that they don't care about the Rust Belt.

Whether we like to admit it or not the white part of the working class is still sizeable. People are always fine with Bill turning rightward due to Reagan, why can't any of you admit that the Dems have to adapt now?

If there were oppos and people decided to not use them because they felt the election was already won, I hope those people don't sleep another night for 4 years straight. So tired of Democrats playing soft ball with Republicans.

this is the worst time-line
this is not a drill
unbelievable

It really won't. Even if he's only president for 4 years (and that's a big damn if, considering what he's going to do to the media that portrays him in a negative light), he's going to do a ton of damage home and abroad. All of the progress made under Obama will be erased and then some.

This is the saddest day of my life.

We won't survive the climate change Trump's going to do nothing to stop, though.

Seriously, how can we calm down? Regardless of what you think, Donald Fucking Trump is really fucking close to becoming the President of this country.

Even if hillary barely pulls this out, He is THIS FUCKING CLOSE to running this nation.

A bigoted buffoon sociopathic fascist.

So yeah, stop telling people to calm down. People have every right to freak the fuck out.

[Mupepe]

Oh god. Keep feeding me Benji. Those quotes are my only comfort.

[zomgee]

I wonder how drugged up Amir0x is

Hmmm.

[FStop7]

Welp.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[benjipwns]

i think gaf imploded, i can't connect to it anymore

[Dennis]

Of course GAF could never see this coming.

Everyone not vocally YASSS QUEEN had long been banned.

It so shocking to them because they literally created the echo chamber they are banning people for saying GAF have become.

[Rman]

Damn, GAF. It will be ok.  It's not the end of the world.

[benjipwns]

A racist, pussy grabbing reality tv star is going to be president. With the portrait and everything.

I knew things were awful, but had no clue at the sheer severity. Real Orwellian shit.

I feel like absolute shit

I feel like a fool

Lol how the fuck are we actually losing right now

Something wake me up if this is a nightmare because the everything is fucked.

Tonight, the multi-cultural experiment dies. Sad.

Abortion will basically be illegal in 2 to 4 years that's my big prediction.

[Boredfrom]

Conflicted, I dont like Trump and he winning is going to affect my country economy... but the meltdown in GAF is truly funny as hell.

[Rman]

Democrats were idiots. Clintons are not likable. 

[nudemacusers]

This is what happens when you stuff any measure of criticism into the same bucket as frothing conspiracy theorists, racists, and homophobes.

[nudemacusers]

Democrats were idiots. Clintons are not likable.

Also this. Obama rallied people with change, Clinton is a return to business as usual.

[benjipwns]

the idiots are ready to put a gun in their mouth and if Wisconsin and Michigan flip back then Trump probably loses

[zepblackstar]

As a center-right guy, I am fine with a split in power with Clinton as President but not like this.. Trump and his voters are kingmakers now in the GOP.

[Rman]

Democrats were idiots. Clintons are not likable.

Also this. Obama rallied people with change, Clinton is a return to business as usual.

Yep. It's all about the narrative and Trump had a simple one.
