That makes sense, except Trump had a lower approval rating than Clinton throughout the entirety of the election... so you’re theory doesn’t appear to hold water.

Trump would have blown Bernie all the way back to Vermont. Clinton had the better chance regardless of her foibles.

You know what pisses me off? I know a LOT of people who are fucking rich white Southerners who haven’t felt SHIT for pain from the recession. Their kids aren’t on meth. They haven’t lost their jobs. They’re just assholes who want smaller government because that means they’ll pay less taxes. Those people tipped…

But... but economics! Rust Belt! We don’t understand Middle America, and need to relate to their pain and feel sympathy regardless of how much pain they happily inflict on anyone else! Oh and not hurt their feelings by pointing that out!

*Glare*

Congratulations to all the fucking idiots who voted for this man despite being a racist, bigot, Islamaphobic, homophobic, misogynistic piece of shit.

“Everyone who voted for Trump is not racist, but everyone who voted for Trump had to decide that racism was not a dealbreaker.”

It means that for the second time in 16 years, a Republican president has been chosen against the democratic will of the people. It means that Donald Trump cannot honestly claim a mandate to rule according to his whims. It means that calls for…

He DID NOT GET THE MOST VOTES. Hillary Clinton did. She has every right to be sitting in the White House today, meeting with Michelle and Barack, enjoying the act of planning the future of our planet and our children.

To be totally honest, I do blame Bernie for poisoning young people towards Clinton.

I didn’t vote for him

Lol, says the person whose user name is “Tina Fey’s Face Scar”.

He didn’t win fair and square, he lost the popular vote. He won because the Electoral College is an arcane and poorly-designed system that doesn’t reflect the will of the people and because Republicans have spent years making it harder and harder for minorities to vote. The truth is that the system is rigged. The…

Haha His face. Every time I’ve seen it over the last couple days, he doesn’t look like he’s happy about winning at all.

I am not even American and I’ve burst into tears 4 times since yesterday. I’m so sorry you guys, everything about this is painful to look at, as illustrated by the above photos.

Patience of a saint.
