The Election Night Thread - Part 1

[TheDreamMaster]

A lot of Star Wars alum seem to hate Trump. Hamill and Fisher have been actively campaigning against him on Twitter for months.

Well as a huge SW fan, Trump isn't getting any love from me either.

 

[SV Fan]

In my folly I thought America was better than this.

Well At Least Trump Will Make America (a) Great (laughingstock) Again

 

[Spider-Who?]

I'm going to try to get through tonight and see how I feel tomorrow. I've never felt this much depression hit me in a very long time.

How old are you? Is this your first election? Keep your chin up.

Every election is like this: the losing side is all doom and gloom, acting like the president elect will have the powers of an emperor and will single-handedly destroy the nation. That's not how this works. Trump will not be a god-king, and half the country is not sexist. The majority of the country did not vote for a sexist; they voted against unbridled government corruption. Was Trump the best alternative? No, but we as a country can and will go on. Have some faith.

so trump is leading PA lol

Sure, let him win in a landslide, who cares anymore.

In my folly I thought America was better than this.

A lot of us did.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Real talk: If he wins would a Wall and a muslim ban actually happen or just some Trump Hyperbole that couldn't possibly come true?

I ask this as a non american muslim who hasn't been to blizzcon, E3 or RTX yet.

Personally I still think he's blowing smoke....but we've never been faced with someone like this before.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I understand the anti-Government fervor. I do. That people think Trump is the solution to anything is beyond me. I'm speechless. I'm not angry. I'm despondent. This is an international tragedy.

 

[RiXi]

So Kanye West may actually get elected in 2020. Wow.

 

[LoganGambit87]

 

[sycamore]

I don't think he is going to start a nuclear war... probably. He may let one start, which worries the hell out of me. He understands nothing about foreign policy or how dangerous nukes are.

He WILL start a conventional war, however, almost guaranteed.

No. They're not. You shouldn't kill yourself, but don't normalize this election.

America just elected Donald Trump president. There has never been an election like this. America is in trouble. The world is in trouble.

We need all the sane people in the country. Don't go.

 

[BillPardy]

How amazing would if be if Trump peeled off a mask and revealed himself to be Andy Kaufman?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

This is Bush redux.

I thought we had learned something from those years. Nope.

 

[Kyle]

I was just about to say before you edited that Steve Rogers would be proud.

I never said Steve Rogers would be proud. He's becoming more and more anti America in the films, this is going to make him severely anti America. If MCU shared our President's - Stark's siding with Trump now whereas Steve left it all behind to go rogue.

A Donald Trump look a like being behind Serpent Society and Captain America punches him. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

I wish that was true. But Bush was from a pedigreed political family. He wasn't a racist demagogue who admitted he liked sexually molesting women.

This is demonstrably a new low.

Guess you were just chasing after rainbows.

This is a lot more personal for people outside of elections. This is effecting me on a very personal level that stings and has me close to tears because it's founded upon bigotry. It feels like a huge knife in the back right now seeing all these people championing someone who is basically against you and others like you.

 

[sycamore]

Someone want to cue the Homer Simpsons clip: "When will people learn: Democracy doesn't work!"

 

[Legendver2]

I'm genuinely curious as to how the next four years will turn out.

Difference here is that Trump has the full force of Congress and the Supreme Court behind him.

I meant OF YOU.

Assumed that was implied.

 

[hippie_hunter]

This election just sickens me.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

My god, this just keeps dragging on......

Maybe that's the one silver lining in this. Getting more people out of those rose colored glasses and "Murica is greatest cuz Murica" bubble.
