Apparently Trump's financial advisors will be from Wall St

Please don't tell me "wait 4 years".. it's not over. The PRIME of our Lives is now. That part of my life will be gone. I'll wake up everyday knowing I live in Donald Trump's America and that half of this country doesn't even want my kind here.

I feel like my American Pride has died. I can't believe I religiously used to stand for the pledge of allegiance, the anthem. They hate us here. There's no hope for us in this country.

Amen.

I can't believe I'll be starting my 20's with Donald Trump as President Quite literally the most important decade of a person's life

I was ready to be super proud of the United States for rejecting the white nationalist direction Europe is headed for in favor of a multicultural, intersectional progressive society.

I'm pissed lol, Hillary's platform was a lot to get excited for. And we said no for what, exactly?

He never said he wasn't going to refill the swamp.

If Dems managed to slay in 2006, does that give us any hope for 2018?

They rationally care about themselves, just like any person/group of people do. What we (liberals) need to is to not scold them but make them feel welcome in our party. We have to tell them their problems matter and we can solve easier by working together as part of our coalition.

Tbqh, the rust belt states need to stop blaming trade deals for their problems and take responsibility for the fact that they sat around and didn't educate themselves and update their skills to compete in a 2016 economy.

Voting for Trump changes nothing about their current circumstances. The trade deals make it easier for us to export our good overseas. The problem is they are unable to compete with the likes Asia because they didn't educate and innovate. They need to take personal responsibility and stop looking for immigrants and trade deals to blame when white privialedge is far more valuable for getting jobs than anything else. The rust belt had a built in advantage and squandered it.

The rust belt sat on their butts and watched the rest of the world out innovate them in the manufacturing arena to the point it no longer made sense to do business in those areas. It is not going to change for a very long time. No amount of tariffs and other government intervention will make uneducated people ready for global competition.

"Take responsibility". ""their fault" "idiots" you sound like how Republicans talk about minorities.

For the House, governor races, and state legislatures, yes. For the Senate, that's a little bit more complicated.

Good point

Being in nyc today was so weird. Everything was so somber and quiet and everybody was so stunned, it felt like someone died. I was feeling pretty ****** all day so I went to the protest rally, glad I went.

Hollywood should spend the next four years relentlessly mocking Trump.

Trumpets are so easily pressed by celebrities. Just look at what Amy Schumer's post did to their sensitive weak souls.

You're right, not all Trump voters are racists.

All racists are Trump supporters, however.

And the #NotRacist Trump voters voted for a ticket that espouses anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-minority, xenophobic and hateful rhetoric.

But you're *so* not racists. Totes not.

It must feel amazing to be white (more specifically, a straight white man) and not have to worry about getting attacked just for being "different"

Yes, it's almost guaranteed. Especially if Trump fails miserably and remains very unpopular, which seems likely.

Not only that, the west is getting increasingly fascist and right-wing. It's terrifying.

I'm actually genuinely questioning; how could Bernie have demolished Trump the way people are saying?

I honestly feel like he would've lost harder than Hillary. Presidential Debates would've ruined him imo, Trump would've literally trolled him and I could honestly see him breaking down in tears angry or something. He just wasn't good with expressing in debates from what I saw, and I liked him.

Also wasn't he constantly touted as liberal, and the extreme for Democrats. I'd see white America voting for the extreme for Republicans before extreme for Democrats anyday, since as you can see they are attracted to that trash.

My grandmother getting emotional over the fact that she'll likely never live to see a woman elected President broke my heart.

I've felt like I'm in a parallel universe all day. I don't even know what to do.
