I see it as not so much that America voted for Trump the lying bigot. They voted for change. However, that change could be very bad, or maybe not. Time will tell.

America actually voted for Hillary. I mean if you are going to term it "america voted for someone" then that kinda alludes to a popular vote victory doesn't it? Trump won the election, but America as a whole voted for hillary (by a hair)

As you can probably tell I don't want to be associated with a racist asshole, even if he is the president.

Troubling news from Canada-



The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.

Canadian border residents say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.

“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. “He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just stuck their fingers in their ears and kept coming. Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals just south of the border, pack them into electric cars, and drive them across the border, where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.

“A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions,” an Alberta border patrolman said. “I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier water, or any gemelli with shrimp and arugula. All they had was a nice little Napa Valley cabernet and some kale chips. When liberals are caught, they’re sent back across the border, often wailing that they fear persecution from Trump high-hairers.

Rumors are circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer, study the Constitution, and find jobs that actually contribute to the economy.

In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the ’50s.

“If they can’t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age,” an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, are buying up all the Barbara Streisand CD’s, and are overloading the internet while downloading jazzercise apps to their cell phones.

“I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can’t support them,” an Ottawa resident said. “After all, how many art-history majors does one country need?"

All funny except I think the domestic beer part may be off. I think liberal culture probably played a fairly large part in the growth of the craft, microbrewing, etc over the last twenty years.

Unless you mean strictly the gross stuff like Bud Light.

Perhaps the majority is not as afraid as you imply. It's sad the perception so verily shared is entirely fear based. Fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering

wut?

this is not what i said. what i said is, some people didn't vote Clinton but weren't as openly for Trump as one might imagine, given the result of the election.

you're right in one thing though, fear of people that behave differently of you and your family tends to turn into hate and racism.


I totally understand it's your right to do whatever you want, to claim you want your jobs back, those taken by the global economy even though you're happily using cheap chinese stuff, or benefiting from american stuff sold around the world.

If i was to run for president I would declare war on cancer and claim i will put all the cancer in jail. I bet I'd get a few votes at least.

I'd actually agree with this one. But the silent majority is obviously the liberals and democrats. The vocal minority, just did a better job this time.

Unfortunately, I think the US just missed a unique opportunity to have the most experienced president in lifetimes, but I think at this point, its very clear
they simply don't deserve her efforts.

I love being deluded. Of course you have to define the term "collapse" very carefully. "Collapse" is a loaded word. Economic collapse for example can be hard to precisely define. Is it a really sucky recession or a mild depression or a ... (doesn't matter if you are out of work what you call it). Growing states of "no go" zones where separate legal and judicial systems are in effect as Muslim immigrants refuse to assimilate to European cultural norms. And most importantly, an exponentially expending bureaucracy from Brussels with absolutely no connection whatsoever to the citizens within the union with national governments being pressured to surrender to that bureaucracy.

I predict that the straws will break the back of Germany in five years. Economic stagnation will probably hit the extremities of the union before that (PIGS still ain't got wings). When all is said and done the EU will wake up and realize that the best it can be is mediocre going year by year with stagflation.

Probably worth noting that there are just under 33,000 civil servants employed in the European Commission. To put that number in context, the devolved government in Scotland alone employs 44,000 civil servants. So that's 33,000 EU civil servants administering the body which oversees an EU population of 500+ million, compared to the 44,000 Scottish civil servants overseeing Scotland's population of 5 million.

The European Commission itself actually does f*ck all, because it has no power to do anything except cobble together various forums and institutions designed to encourage European cooperation and otherwise talk to itself while hoping that other people listen to it. EU laws and all the serious stuff is done by the EU Parliament, which all Member States' citizens elect representatives to.

In American terms, Brexit is kinda like the state of Florida withdrawing from the Union because it thinks the White House Chief of Staff is too much of an unaccountable despot.

You really need to have down syndrome to let such an unprepared fool rule your country. Everything Obama has managed to build in such difficult times is going down.
I can t even imagine we now live in a world with Putin and Trump presidents, makes me want to puke on all you retarded trumpies.

Brother, there aren't enough drugs in the world to make me agree with you on this one. Mainly because clearly your lefty bed wetting arse has already consumed all those drugs.
Everything Obama has built? Say what? More expensive health insurance, no improvements in race relations, middle east is worse than under bush, GitMo still open(more of a stain on Merica's rep than electing a million trumps), relationship with russia is rubbish(not Putin's fault). Obama = failure. Clinton = Bullet dodged.

Very much so. I agree he is not a "real" politician and he's definitely rough...BUT, he did have a campaign slogan and stuck to it from day one, "Make America Great Again".

What was Clinton's slogan??? "Hillary for America".

That was one reason I chose to vote for Trump. He reminded me of Reagan when he ran for and won the Presidency.

Hurray for Trump and shame on the hysterical snobs lining up to take shots at Americans for being stupid hicks.


I agree...I'm one of the millions of "working class white men" that voted for Trump...Now, I do have a Master's degree, so I was able to see through the horse shit that Hillary was slinging. She had no true agenda or platform, other than to work towards her political gain. Yes, she made promises and suggestions, but this is an election. Do you really think Trump is going to put up a wall to keep out immigrants? Do you really think he's going to "bomb the shit out of ISIS"? Or do you really think he knows more than the US military generals?

If so, then I have a bridge I wanna sell ya...

Prior to this election, there have been four times where a President was elected without winning the popular vote. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/presid ... ular-vote/

Clinton beat Trump by 150,000 votes...the second closest popular vote in presidential history behind the 1888 election where Harrison beat Cleveland by 90,000 votes.

I agree that the electoral college needs to be revamped and I'm not going to get into that debate.
