Clinton wins, but Trump is president. Seems this only happens to the Democratic party. They don't know how to spread their votes in the right places to make every vote matter.

Clinton accepts the result, but if the tables were turned Trump would be calling for armed revolution and abolition of the electoral college. Hell he called for revolution in 2012 when Obama ended up actually winning the NPV.

I bet you wouldn't have been saying that if that warmonger won.

No need for Clinton to incite the masses:

I wouldn't call it persecution, it's not really that.  In fact, I would say the overwhelming majority of Americans of all races don't really care about this stuff and are not racist nor assume racism.  The problem is there's these people in positions of influence who spend a lot of time telling everyone how terrible they are, how awful they are.  It's basically that that I think has got people fumed.  Which si the biggest issue, the drumming up of artificial states of crisis in order to maintain fear and panic in supporters so that they'll keep voting and keep donating so that these people can "save" them from the boogey man of the evil mysogynist, racist white male conspiracy. 

Or some trivial sh*t spewed and payed attention to by people with too much time on their hands.

I wouldn't pay attention to people like that. There are much more important issues to be tackled in this world.

I try not to, but it's kinda hard to ignore.  But more importantly, large groups do believe those peopls, like they are prophets, especially during elections.  And I'm less offended about what they say about me and more sickened - almost physically nauseated - by how they blatantly lie to and manipulate the very people they claim to represent just to farm them for money and votes.

Refugees escaping war and persecution in their homelands are not illegal immigrants. Refugees are in need of help and they should be welcomed with open arms by the countries that are willing to adopt them as permanent residents without any questions asked. Illegal immigrants are rare, they are not as common as politicians like Trump claim.

There's been several instances of that from what I've heard. I haven't heard of a democrat appearing threatening towards people, but that might be because I don't follow the "right channels".

Well, it explains why rich people isn't as heavily taxed as others.

So you don't believe he is this kind of person, not really? He's just acting up to get the attention and the votes?

Trump is not all of what he said, but certain things are true to who he is. For example, I am quite sure that he has something like a "would bang" scale to rate women. But many things he said are too extreme to believe that they are his true convictions. Sure, he is a proud US-American, but I don't think he would build a wall between the USA and Mexico, let alone arrange it in a way that Mexico would pay for it.

Fuck this election. 

Trump has 2 years to do whatever he wants to do now, since republicans now controll every important instance in the USA; presidency, senate and congress, and probably soon the high court. Let's see what Trump does now, nothing is holding him back. Nothing.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Great blog about how SJWs helped Trump:

http://reason.com/blog/2016/11/09/trump-won-because-leftist-political-corr

Brilliant article. Especially this line:

"smug, entitled, elitist, privileged leftists jumping down the throats of ordinary folks who aren't up-to-date on the latest requirements of progressive society."

The extreme hypocrisy of the left, people are tired of that. Just like the Church in medieval Europe. But the left will entirely deny this trait, the fanatics on the left are totally unable to cope with this, they have 0 self-criticism and really 0 understanding of the psychology of human beings.

It's that likely 3 times 10 M. When they last mass regulated, it turned out the real numbers were 3 times as high as suspected.
