Admit it. If you came into a realm that reflected me, you'd run. I see you horsefuckers and come straight at you. That is not a bubble.

I'm so just done..I never thought this would happen...we probably should just kill ourselves now and soon.
Please don't let this be the day this Grand Experiment died.
The world becoming hostile towards others once again. Back onto the road to conflict. Hey at least gun rights will be preserved for a bit, might actually need to look into one.
Really fucking sad right now. That this horrifying monster is in this position says a lot about an awful lot of Americans. And it's nothing good. Similar to how there's lots of soul-searching in the UK, post-Brexit. America is headed for the same thing in the wake of this potentially devastating result.
3 branches of government in Republican control once again. We are on the brink of utter disaster. God help us.
Trump will be impeached before he puts his hands on the bible, pence will be president and do everything congress wants. We're fucked.
And yea, given the way the evening has played out, I've given up hope.I tried my best and convinced as many to vote as possible in my community. But America's true colors are shining this election quite clearly.
You are way too calm in this situation, homedawg.
The executive branch being filled with absolutely horrible opportunistic people is the most disgusting thing about Trump winning.
I just... I can't believe it. I'm nauseous and scared. We've come so far in 8 years, and we're about to piss it all away. Don't Ask Don't Tell is probably going to get reinstated, gay marriage repealed, trade wars started, the economy is going to collapse, Global Warming will officially pass the point of no return, millions of people are going to die. 2 weeks ago, it all seemed so certain. Then Comey, And now, tonight, Trump massively overperforms. And here we are.
Might be the Darkest day in US history.
QuoteChickens coming home to roost big time.That feeling when you kill a candidate (Bernie) who had positive numbers with all the people Hillary has shit numbers with. Establishment democrats never cared that the majority of this country truly despises Hillary/ democrats for legitimate reasons that go beyond racism. Big fat I told you so from the leftist idealists who supposedly don't know what they're talking about.If trump wins (or loses slightly) I hope dems realize what the fuck went wrong and get some sense for the years to come, but I suspect they'll continue to be stupid and blame everyone but themselves.Anyone legit surprised by this result should start taking leftist critiques of democrats/clinton a lot more seriously.Any mods on right now?

please note that it's not like us dems have a plan b. Even in a midterm we can't take back anything due to unfavorable districts and a bad senate map. I'm honest in that there might not be legit elections as we know it in 2020.This was an existential election from Democrats, and when the cards were played we look to be down one.
Last post I'll make; I'm pretty much done here. I didn't realize that the U.S. would freak out that much about a black dude running the country for a little while. I thank you guys for posting, but after such a massive polling failure that indicates that a bunch of white people who hate me will run everything and destroy whatever of my rights that they can, I am pretty hopeless right now.
America has fallen.
ObamacareClimate ChangeSurpreme CourtVoting Rights Act.TaxesOh my god. This could end up being a fucking disaster.
America isn't what I thought it was.
I think... I think I have to move to Germany or something. I'm Jewish, and I don't feel safe in Trump's America.
And with this, America will enter into probably the worst 4 years of modern history.
They are all gone. Donald Fucking Trump can do whatever he wants
its over you pieces of shit. You did it. congrats. rapist is president now. fuck minorities. fuck the budget. nuke the foreigners.
All this Hillary blaming is ridiculous. The way that a candidate like Trump can win mean competency means nothing. Why would you want to win a race where the way to win is to be a demagogue. The western world has to take a real hard look at democracy.
I'm going to bed.I'm going to try not to wake up.
Democracy is a mistake
It's not like it's going to be entertaining to make fun of the Trump admin for the next four years since he's going to make comedy against him illegal. :/
Prior to this, we all really thought we were the majority, you know? That there were actually enough cosmopolitan urbanites and minorities to overmatch the rural white vote. That the only reason we didn't have the House as well as the Senate was because of little tricks and lies like gerrymandering. We were wrong. There's more of them than us, and at the end of the day, this, this disgusting excuse for a man, is what they needed to make themselves known.
It really should have. What America really needed was the advent of a New New Deal.Instead you got the wanna be dictator placing blame on minorities and the educated.We have history as a guide for what happens when the latter wins.
Hate, lies, fear.....America will not survive this. Not in the long run. This is the descent for the planet really. Forget about climate change. Progressives can forget about everything for decades. The worst of us won.
My last post ended at the end of the page, but again, blaming Hillary or her team is ridiculous.Think about the race, and think about how you would design a perfect candidate to win this race. That perfect candidate would still be a demagogue and shit. How would you be proud of nation that elects a person like that is beyond me.
These shitheels have been energized by all this fucking hate and divisiveness. Who the fuck lives like this, honestly? How can anybody fucking live like that?
It really does feel like white america told me to **** myself. This shit hurts. I'm not going to lie.
I can't take this life is over as we know it.
What's the point of telling people to organize and shit?The turnout is up. The bigots in rural and suburban counties found their authoritarian bigot to follow.What could have been done to stop him?
If you are an innocent civilian in Syria, your chances of dying just went up a fuck load. This is terrifying.
And pence may not cow tow to Russia, but the supreme court judges, possibly 3 of them, will fuck America for the rest of our life time, which a candidate in 2020 will have to deal with. So global warming, Iraq deal, abortion, gay marriage, clean energy, are all gone.
My future is completely fucked. I am barely on my feet. My insurance is going to get ripped out from underneath me. Student loans are suffocating me and the Supreme Court is lost for the next several decades. It's over.
Guys I am sobbing right now; I can't fucking take this.I just want this to be a dream; I just want someone to wake me up and say that she won and that everything's going to be ok.
I just turned my TV off. I can't take this anymore.I've lost all faith in this country. Tomorrow, I have to go to work, putting a uniform that represents the country that I used to love.I can't do it anymore. I'm in tears as I type this.
Oh and Stump getting a new tag
They're about to see everything they've ever hoped for die. A Supreme Court against them for decades.Republicans in control of the federal government and a vast majority of state governments will gerrymander and suppress voting without hindrance. End of any environmental regulation. End of any shared wealth improvements.
This is going to be a generational disaster.I don't think we all fully appreciate how bad this will be going forward. Trump will get a lot of SCOTUS appointments. Health care and climate change is fucked. Income inequality is fucked.Also a good chance of a major recession if things go their way...Literally have friends with the means to move abroad thinking about it. One friend already told me he's looking in Singapore. And he isn't joking in the slightest.
This is so historic. This election is going to shape the nation more than every single election probably since lincoln.Republicans will get rid of the filibuster, and have an unabated path to pass all the legislation they've always wanted. Say goodbye to Obamacare and many other welfare programs. Say hello to privatized social security and medicaid, and huge tax cuts to the rich.Say goodbye to a liberal supreme court, or even a moderate supreme court if Kennedy or a liberal dies or steps down.
Screw you guys who think Hillary is the problem here. The voting populace is the problem.
3rd parties fucked us.
The world is fucked. Nowhere will be safe. I'm at a loss for words.
I have chest pain.
The country is sick, and as tonight proves... sicker than it has been since perhaps the Civil War.
Don't know of this went through earliest but had a panic attack earlier. Was pretty scary but eventually was able to recover. Going to stop looking at results now for my own sanity.
The media, the bigots, all of them...this is on all of them.I am in such a stunned position right now. He's a racist, misogynist, sexual predator, tax evader, know nothing.HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS OR FOREIGN POLICY WORKS. HE'S A SOCIAPATHIC MORON. And he's likely our next President.What am I supposed to think. This is such a disaster.
If Trump wins, he's there for 8 years (if not longer). You'd better believe all of those voter ID laws will go into effect, and even if the white rural vote doesn't come out again in full force, the percentage of disenfranchised minorities will more than cover the difference.
this is it folks. Im already having the text conversations with my sister about what this means.you fucking pieces of shit
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223715721&postcount=16625This post is the realest of real talk. for real.
Whelp, my worldview is in tatters right now. Data science = flawedCurrent understanding the political campaigns = wrongPolling science = flawedViews of the country = wrongI need to do some soul searching tonight. I'm so damn guilty of not seeing the reality of the world around me.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223720164&postcount=17745HAHAHAH, oh come now, don't start feigning disgust at the 11th hour.
QuoteThe polls were spectacularly off, what the hell happened.Media being bias or unethical?

We just elected a fascist who controls every branch of gpvernment. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating by saying there will not be an election in 2020. This is it. This is the end.
Sorry. Fuck half this country. Fucking hope their racist asses end up in fucking bread lines. I hope automation takes their fucking jobs so there is no fucking safety night. Fuck. Country is fucked for 30+ years.

Hitler and Putin both seized absolute power in their countries by staging false flag terror attacks on their own soil. You are delusional if you think Trump won't try the same thing.The republic is over.
He really is Mr. Brexit huh. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone shoots him.
Can't wait for Trump's FCC to kill the internet btw
The only joy tonight is seeing HilaryGAF and the smug NeoGAF moderation be shell-shocked. Even so, it is not worth 4 years of Trump with the nuclear codes.
Donald Trump wants to imprison his political opponent and bring lawsuits against news agencies that report unfavorably on himNo I don't consider anything too outlandish at this point
When are people going to wake the fuck up. THIS ISN'T A FUCKING GAME.
Well, we did it.We ruined America.Way to go, white people.
QuoteHe really is Mr. Brexit huh. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone shoots him.We can only hope.The country wanted a wider political revolution and the facist was the one who was promising it.
You wanna know what the worst part is? I'm going to have to hear about this fuckwit president for the next 4-8 years.
The worst part about this is the realization of how naive I was. I live in an echo chamber. I'm a liberal college student, I browse GAF, I listened to pollsters who were apparently rock-solid, and it turns out that the reality I live in is not the real America. I'm actually a little embarrassed. I genuinely thought it would be a fucking landslide for Hillary.
I know I shouldnt say this but I am considering suicide over this. This shit is causing me so much pain. I can never come out of the closet with the damage Trump will do.
I am as well honestly. Everything is so fucking fucked.
Its actually quite sad the reality thats hitting some of these younger gaffers tonightQuoteThe worst part about this is the realization of how naive I was. I live in an echo chamber.

No disrespect, but in what universe is it gonna be "ok"? The entire future of this country just got cut off at the knees and this fucker has the nuclear codes and a stacked Congress. This is the Fourth Fucking Reich.
Now, to find strength in my good friends and family because it's sure as hell not gonna come in pride for my country
Prediction: Trump will start an organization that preaches fanatical devotion to him above all else. "Trump's Troops" or something similar. They will become his enforcers, his lieutenants.His Brownshirts.
how is this even possible?do we really have to coddle the angry whites?
At this point, maybe it's time to throw some of their venom back at them.
Even if Democrats win midterms and/or hold him to one term, the past half century of progress is gone tonight.
There is some fuckery going on and its the goddamn 3rd parties. You millennial shmucks

I am going to consider not paying attention to politics anymore. Not that I won't vote or do things...but this might be it for me in Poli-Gaf and my immense interest in political discussion.Maybe I'm just depressed but i don't know how to process this. My family is in shock. My girlfriend...my friends. Everyone I know is in shock. And this is so fucking depressing...I don't feel like I would ever want to care about politics this much ever again.
I'm feeling the same.
Yea I'll be done here for a while. I'll vote when needed but America just reminded me what it always has been and it fucking hurts. I'm crying and depressed. Goodnight.
This can't be overstated enough because this win completely turns everything we know about politics on its head.
Fight how? We're going to have President Trump with a Republican controlled Senate, House, and Supreme Court, along with a majority of states under Republican control. We're simply outnumbered here. We're completely fucked and there's literally nothing we can do.
I don't even know how to feel right now.I can't even process what's happened. Polling was off by so much, it's as if it never even existed. I don't even know what's going on, it feels unreal. There was no data for this. Nothing indicated this was going to happen. I don't function well without data. When it doesn't add up and doesn't work out in my head how something like this happened. I sort of just shut down.
This is where I'm at too. I know I'm distraught over this but I can't really feel it because I'm so flabbergasted about what happened here. It's like nothing ever mattered: the debates, the dozens of reported scandals, the Dem surrogates, the data, the polls, the GOTV, the coalition, Obama's entire presidency. None of it mattered. What the fuck do you do with that? How do we build from that?
