There should absolutely be no way for a racist asshole who doesn't know anything about politics or, basically, everything that a president needs, to become president and get the power to use the nuclear weapons of one of the mightiest countries in the world. I'm legitimately afraid and I can't believe how stupid the Americans (not all of them, of course, but A LOT) are. The US is such a huge country with a very diverse population. A person living in Nebraska or Kansas has a completely different life to someone in NYC on a scale that is very different to any other country. | ||

The similarities between this and brexit are just bizarre. ![[image loading]](http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2016/11/09/20161108_electionresults16_0.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2016/11/09/20161108_deja.jpg) Also that 538 article saying the cubs have as much chance of winning the world series as trump does of becoming president (when they were down 3-1) | ||

Oh, please, it might not have occured to you, but that's the losing strategy in the bear market, lol. | ||

I know I will once again be looking for signs of the rejection of Americanism in our upcoming elections. The whole situation is just so depressing. Edit: the more I think about the mismatch between the "established polls" and the actual results, it seems to me the this mismatch reflects the problem between the "establishment" and the actual people.

He might just flipflop his foreign policy views once he's president due to pressure from his advisors and the Deep State (military industrial complex, oil companies, CIA, AIPAC, etc.) and just be another George Bush. This is why there should have been a massive third party vote this election, but maybe the media decided Trump would get them more views. | ||

But forced healthcare here made finding jobs a really difficult task. My hate for Obamacare aside, no longe ris it possible to get directly hired by ANYONE, first one must go through a temp service, which either A) does not offer health insurance or B) has it at such a high rate on top of taxes + the fee they already take i'd be better off working a fucking mcdonalds or something. Even the biggest thing to come out of this shithole Lowe's which hires directly wont give you more than 20 hours just because our state doesnt require them to give health care if you dont reach a certain thresh hold, absolute bullshit. Meaning i must go to a 3rd party, which is expensive as fuck on top of the fact i don't get hours at the job anyway, or not get it at all and get a huge fine at the end of the year. | ||

Their main reason for voting Trump is they simply absolutely HATE Hillary Clinton. I don't really get it, but obviously after tonight its clear that kind of person wasn't rare. I almost feel like Democrats should have seen that coming... They should of. Such hubris by the Democratic leadership. Hear the news stories about them fighting over who will be appointed in hypothetical Clinton Administration, well good news, nothing to fight over anymore! Democrats nominated probably the one candidate that could lose to Trump, who was the one person she could beat. An extraordinary unpopular candidate who had active FBI investigations. Regardless of the fact she was cleared, the fact she was investigated alone should of made her step down for the good of the party. BUT NOPE, WE ARE FINE AND THE DEMOCRATIC "LEADERSHIP" AT THE DNC FELL OFF A CLIFF | ||

would mean the same US bullshit thats been going for more than a decade (giving weapons to local terrorist groups, using them to fight proxy wars, Were you supporting the Paul's? Because I think Trump is just as much not the droids you are looking for. Whereas both Ron and Rand were very consistent abou not wanting foreign interventions, but as far as I could tell, not the most popular positions most any of the debates that they participated in. | ||

You should look over the inequality, the crisis, the social conditions who become more and more difficults.The absolutely contempt that the white trash receive, the way there are treated at works, under the constant threat of losing their jobs with less and less rights to defend it, the way workers are treated is just horrible. But hey, you can keep being smug and blind, there are no problems about that, anything that the international bourgeoisie dislikes seems friendly to me and I am not the only one apparently. 2005 french referendum 2015 greece referendum 2016 Brexit 2016 Trump election And I feel like this is just a beginning. You will manage to invalidate the brexit but that would not stop the processus. A more social and equal economical policy? Yeah, it would but billionaires already pay too much taxes right? Maybe you should start ask to question this world outside the community aspect. By the way, even if Trump has nothing to do with the working class, he manages to incarnate himself as an opponent of the globalisation, that's the thing. | ||

Still better than Hillary who would have been a Putin puppet through and through. Trump can actually end conflicts in the World and keep the balance. | ||
