The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Topper]

Good grief Millennials are taking this hard. My upstairs neighbors are nearly in tears and had some very despondent posts this morning. Everyone at work was in a daze and the city in general seems like the energy has been sucked out of it.

I know several who are devastated, not just Millennials.

After years of groaning at right winger hysteria (Il Pad) it's a lot of fun seeing lefties do it. Makes the Trump win a lot more palatable. If you post some pics of this I'm pretty sure we could get landpoke back.

LOL, YO nails it! I am loving facebook after election day. 4 years ago half of my feed was made up of friends talking about how much ammunition they should buy, today it is the millennials posting these pathetically despondent and melancholy discussions on how they can't look their children in the eyes and explain that Trump is president. I am lapping this up!

Lots of people whining on FB about the mormon letdown and the hypocrisy of utah mormon voters. However...

A great example of looking behind the numbers.

Yes, it is good that someone could do the math and tell me that the squeaky-clean, mormon bishop who was oh-so-close to the White House was more popular with Utahns than a thrice-divorced sod from New York City. A great example of using numbers to prove the most obvious of points.

Dude, you need to do something about that cynicism. I am worried about you.

More cynicism. Apple, cynicism is my role. Quit usurping it.

How did the journalists’ crusade fail? The fourth estate came together in an unprecedented professional consensus. They chose insulting the other side over trying to understand what motivated them. They transformed opinion writing into a vehicle for high moral boasting. What could possibly have gone wrong with such an approach?

I was beginning to feel better today, but then I was listening to NPR talking about the Duma celebrating Trump's victory. And then I remembered just how unsettling Trump's fondness for Putin is.

Not crying, but still legitimately worried.

The good news for you is that the republican party doesn't need to be demolished and then built back up! Its here to stay!

Utah should be more embarrassed 0f the 27.5% of electorate who voted for Mike Lee's opponent. Seriously, a thirty year-old with a high school education and no political experience and 12 years of bagging groceries.

This is an incredibly transphobic post.

What are you on about?

In this respect, Secretary Clinton would have been far worse. Her rhetoric with regard to Russia was endlessly provocative.

"Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get along with Russia?", Trump has openly asked.

Yes.

There are also a lot of worried people in Ukraine, the Baltics, and Poland. And certainly Crimea will remain in the Russian fold.

Uh huh. Reacting favorably to Putin's annexation of Crimea based on the polling of Ukranians is nothing more than pondering how to get along better with Russia.
Riiiiight.
