ISIS claimed that Trump's dividing rhetoric would split the country into pieces and that Muslims who are in fear/exposed to hatred would turn to ISIS...

This is kinda low-key depressing, she should have at least got some of the blue states she lost

I just woke up and still can't believe it.

People on my facebook are telling me to continue to be salty.. my bf's uncle is praising the lord because Trump won. I can't believe everything. I'm FLOORED. I've already unfriended people because I know find them to be trash and I don't want to associate with them

I have nothing to lose anyway

I'm scared to watch Hillary's speech

Cain

In the news today they interviewed Americans staying in The Netherlands rn and this one guy said 'I voted for Trump because I don't like Hillary and he's getting deposed anyway so then they're both out'.

THIS is logic to people.

What do you think Trump will try to accomplish in his term? Like how serious is he on trying to take back marriage equality because I Know Pence is all for it and won't it be easy with all republicans? Omg I forgot, now the Supreme Court will have another republican for years and years.

I am so depressed

I don't think his main focus is marriage equality and he'll be focusing more on immigration and stuff.

But who knows.

BoyOnBoy Wonder

Raise hell, kids (in a peaceful sense).

Starstruck.

We were so confident

I have no problem admitting it either. I was being a cocky HOE. Talent LOST.

I'm so f*cking bored of everyone crying over this. Trump is your president MOVE ON.
Brexit won, Trump won. Millions of non voters in both situations and that's the problem with democracy but you have to accept the results it's either that or move to a country with a dictator and see if that works out better for you.

It's been a long 24 hours for me...

The most qualified person to ever run for President lost and I had to completely remove my family from my life today. My entire family (grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, etc) all voted for Trump and when I questioned them about Trump and his views (or lack thereof) including LGBTQ+ rights, they said they didn't care. When I specifically asked my parents about how they felt about the whole conversion therapy thing, knowing FULL WELL that I'm gay, they said they didn't care and that it was the right thing to do. Also, I've been to 3 Hillary rallies along with a rally with Obama and Michelle. This was my first election ever and I wanted to be a part of change and progress and that obviously didn't happen. I'm afraid of my rights now as a gay male and once again scared and worried about being in public with a guy on a date.

I'm feeling so upset, confused, and alone right now.
I just wish this didn't happen...

That's what people said about Bush and he was re-elected

The fact that he won bigly without saying a silver of policy

This is what especially annoys me about the people who apparently voted for him because of his "economic policies", like he barely offered any

There are three red states that Hillary closed the gap in compared to the election in 2012. Democrats really need to focus and turning parts of these states blue from the ground up so they could be more in play in 2020.

Arizona
2012 - 53/44 (+9)
2016 - 50/45 (+5)

Georgia
2012 - 53/45 (+8)
2016 - 51/46 (+5)

Texas
2012 - 57/41 (+16)
2016 - 53/43 (+10)

Obviously Texas shows the most promise. It has the most electoral votes after California and the gap tightened the most between these three states. What they need to do is have a GREAT candidate in 2018 for Governor. I would say Julian Castro should try and focus on this instead of any presidential hopes for a while.

I didn't look into this for y'all to ignore it

Only one prominent member stated that ^ they made an official statement a week ago, urging muslim American's to vote for neither of the candidates because it opposes their values.

I can only imagine that Trump will further intervention in Syria. Didn't he say that he would "crush ISIS" + he's backing their biggest enemy in Syria - Assad, it's difficult to see what will come into fruition because his proclamations are so incoherent & contradictory.

Scared for the American people AND the deaths of possibly even more civilians under a Russian/US backed Assad government who does not give a **** about civilians in the war-zone.

And even if she did, she doesn't have nearly enough experience to run that can be amassed in 3-4 years. Yeah because Trump did it, does not even remotely mean a black woman could.

The 2018 senate map is a disaster. So many democrat incumbents and the seats the republicans hold are in solid red states 💀
