No one was hoping Donald Trump would lose more than Donald Trump was.

He has admitted that he doesn’t like to read, and now he has to read stacks of reports on EVERYTHING. Reports are boring as fuck, I know, I’ve written plenty of them. He will have to spend days in meetings being debriefed on things so boring that you want to stab yourself in the eye, and he’ll have to learn and…

From the look on President-Elect Trump’s face, I am going to assume Pence is already going to be the de facto president.

It is certainly at the very least severely lacking in empathy. I’m not saying it wasn’t a shitty choice to make, but it’s so reductive to say that they all cast their votes out of racism. What’s your way forward if you think that all Trump voters are irredeemable racists? Do we write off 59.6 million Americans and…

The vast majority of Americans have at implicit (or explicit) biases (including liberals), but that doesn’t mean that it’s every single Trump voter’s primary or even secondary motivation for voting the way they did, particularly the voters in the rust belt who voted twice for Obama. If they weren’t so racist that it…

Talk to them? As Obama reminded us this morning, politics is persuasion, and when we lose, perhaps we should look within our party and not merely write off people voting otherwise as irredeemable. Clinton lost votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio, which are all states the Repubs have worked on crushing union power.…

Same in Florida. Fuck everyone of them and their ‘protest vote’.

This is what is SO hard for me to take. This betrayal of everything I stand for, and have fought for since I was in my teens and could understand what’s important: fairness, justice, freedom, equality - people who look like me think they’re the only ones worthy. These people who have every possible right and freedom…

The margin of victory for Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin was less than the total of Jill Stein voters in both sates. If those precious little babies had simply voted strategically the “meaning” we are all about to start deriving from this shit-show would have been radically different.

And Obama. The GOP now have a chance to wipe out everything he’s done, especially his signature accomplishment.

I’ve been thinking that since about midnight. I can’t even imagine how Hillary is feeling right now. My God.

Hillary will be grace personified in public, but I can’t even imagine what she’s going through right now. This has got to be utterly crushing, beyond words.

It occurred to me that she was conceding to a person who has publicly vowed to use the power and violence of the state against her were he to gain the presidency.

James Buchanan? Whose Presidency preceeded the Civil War?

I’m here feeling your pain.

I mean, we don’t have the House or the Senate. We don’t have the Presidency and we won’t have the Supreme Court for...decades maybe. We are truly fucked.

White women voted in favor of Trump 53 to 43 according to exit polls. White men aren’t alone in causing this mess. White women were right along with them as usual.

And Trump supporters don’t get that. Hell, republicans don’t get that. When we vote for Hillary, it’s because there is a very real threat of our civil liberties being taken away. Not because we don’t trust someone’s emails.

I was going to write a long thing but I drank my sorrows away. I’m so ashamed. Me and my family are fucked. This wasn’t just about red vs blue, real shit was on the line. I’ve never felt so hopeless.

eight years ago to the day, i thought anything was possible...now, i think, everything is lost.
