I Don't Want to Live On This Planet Anymore

General
Congratulations America.
You have handed the presidency to an egomaniacal narcissist con-man who repeatedly lies, insults, disputes established science, and believes that tax cuts to the wealthy and increased government spending on things like the military is going to somehow fix the middle class. He vows to throw out our climate change agreements because 'climate change is a hoax', lift restrictions on oil and coal because said 'climate change is a hoax', isolate us from Mexico, ban foreign Muslims and spy on American Muslims, go to war in the middle east with Isis (because the war with Al-Qaeda turned out well didn't it?), undo the ruling on gay marriage, ban abortion (essentially), demand money from our allies, ignore NATO and let Russia basically do whatever it wants, balloon our national debt - did I forget anything?
And with Republicans controlling the house and senate it is unlikely anyone will oppose him because the GOP is so eager to undo 8 years of Obama - I can only hope that the Republicans in office are smart enough to prevent Trump from ruining America.
The stock market is already crashing. Market is stable for now, but we shall see what Trump economics will do in a couple years.
For the first time I am embarrassed to be an American. For the first time I am afraid what our government is going to do.
I am going to be sick.

It's so hard to not give up hope right now...I know. But keep being the best you that you can be.
That'll be enough.
I feel bad for youmall really :(
Give this video a watch, she wants to have a no fly zone in Syria which will cause Russia to go to war with the US.
Both candidates were bad and Hillary is the higher of the two evils.
Don't let this get between our friendship, alright? People take politics way too far and ruin friendships xD
Given the atrocities happening in Syria a no fly zone is warranted. Putin may be a slimy manipulative turd, but he's not stupid enough to go to war with America because the results would be disastrous for both countries.
Edit: perhaps the most shocking thing I discovered fact checking Clinton was that most criticisms against her can be applied to most major politicians. Other government admininstrations in the past had far worse email scandals and yet nobody seemed to care. Benghazi? Attacks and deaths among US embassies was atrocious during the Reagan era. I could go on, but my point is that Hillary is simply more exposed because people like to talk shit about her.
A third party would have been better a vote then both of them imo.
But no really, she might be the worst Democratic candidate since the 1800s. She was THAT bad. Defeated by a cheetos-dipped monkey. Great job democrats. Great job.
Still, I did not expect her to lose to Trump, whom I consider one of the most disgusting human beings on the planet.
If it makes you feel any better on my ballot I wrote for State Senator "HUGH JASS" and for president I wrote George Carlin and as Vice Dave Mustaine. My sort of way of playing the charade while waving a flag with the middle finger on it
I see no evidence of her 'selling the country'. Fact-checking clears Hillary of the vast majority of the bullshit the alt-right has cooked up about her.
Politics right now is just inexplicably incompetent right now.
insults just means he's not a perfect little princess. Makes him more likeable to me especially since he didn't just randomly insult people.
he isn't giving tax cuts to the wealthy. Besides, the really rich never paid taxes in the first place so it wouldn't make a difference even if he did.
And 'climate change is a hoax' was Johnson's thing.
He didn't say he wanted to exclusively throw all mexicans out, it's what people like to interpret.
gay marriage and abortion were things discussed in the republican GOP and trump openly stated that he wouldn't go through with it.
And going to war with the middle east? Hillary wants to do cyber attacks on Russia and potentially even start a third world war with her no-fly zone. And Russia isn't going to suddenly transform into the Soviet Union again the second we talk to them in a civilized manner like Trump proposed.
And balloon our national debt? Do you know what Hillary's policies would cost? The no-fly zone alone would need at least 100.000 american soldiers stationed there to hold it up, not to mention the war that would come from it. That doesn't come for free.
As a communist, I'm generally quite happy with how the election turned out, like many of my comrades are, even if it split our community quite harshly.
I'm sure insulting other world leaders is going to make America look great. And correct - he doesn't insult whoever, just people who criticize him. A trait found in many dictators.
Um, yes he is. His proposed tax plan is a small break for the very poor and a sizable tax break for the ultra rich. His reasoning is that by lessening taxes on the rich they will return to America and create new jobs - in other words, trickle down economics that created the wage gap in the first place.
Do you want me to link you the numerous quotes of Trump refuting the science of climate change? I can also link you quotes of him suggesting vaccines cause autism too if you'd like as an added bonus.
I never suggested he will throw out all Mexicans - but he will severely damage our relations with Mexico and especially Mexican border spanning communities if the wall actually happens (which I still doubt will happen)
These issues are not for Trump to decide - but he will not stop a republican agenda of dismantling them and further he has said he will appoint conservative supreme court justices.
While I don't entirely agree with Hillary's no-fly proposal, the idea that it would escalate to war with Russia is absurd - neither country is stupid enough to do that as it would cause devastation. Putin may be a turd, but he has a brain.
Why yes I do, many economists have worked out the impact of Trump's and Hillary's economic plans. Trumps will cost the US far more money and stands a good chance at costing us jobs.
I'm honestly incredulous how a communist would support an elite billionaire whose vision for a country is one that is propped up by the success of the 1%.
The rich don't pay taxes in the first place, it just makes it legal(assuming that that's what he was trying to do).
Link me all the stuff you want. And while you're at it, link me all the things Hillary changed her mind on but somehow everyone forgets. No, let me do it for you: http://imgur.com/gallery/yZ0LZDP
His talks with the mexican president were very successful, and the latino vote certainly didn't play against him. And the wall is already there, it's just some metal fence. Apart from minor changes his wall policy is effectively just a cosmetic update...
conservative is a diverse spectrum, you can be conservative without hating gays and trans people and still be for gun control. Look at every country that isn't America.
As for the no-fly zone. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2.....-russia-us-war
An article, I get it, one article doesn't prove everything, but it's the best summary.
Hillary gets money shoved up her ass by Goldman-Sachs, she consciously conspires against our lord and savior Sanders and supports liberal(by the european definition) industry, as well as being for things like TTIP until they became unpopular. I see no reason why I and my fellow Trump-voting comrades should not vote for him.
Russia would never simply allow this kind of illegal abuse against their ally, it would be extremelly expensive for US and would fail, the current gov in Syria,Iran and Russia would never follow this and US would be forced to increase their sanctions against them all even more.
US would be investing a fortune in a lost cause.
US has no legal authority to impose this no fly zone in Syrian territory, there is no possible way it will work, both Iran and Russia already ignored US threats b4 and they will clearly not follow this plan , American troops would be crushed in Vietnam style if they try to impose anything by force, is the same scenario of the Vietnam war.
"Let me be very clear. In my view, Democrats will not retain the White House, will not regain the Senate, will not gain the House and will not be successful in dozens of governor’s races unless we run a campaign which generates excitement and momentum and which produces a huge voter turnout.
With all due respect, and I do not mean to insult anyone here, that will not happen with politics as usual. The same old, same old will not be successful. The people of our country understand that — given the collapse of the American middle class and the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality we are experiencing — we do not need more establishment politics or establishment economics.
We need a political movement which is prepared to take on the billionaire class and create a government which represents all Americans, and not just corporate America and wealthy campaign donors. In other words, we need a movement which takes on the economic and political establishment, not one which is part of it."
The fact that many economists agree that Trump's economic plans will cost us jobs and hurt the economy has me worried.
The fact that Republicans and Trump are chomping at the bit to end Obamacare meaning I won't have health insurance has me worried.
The fact that we will have a president that doesn't believe in science and wants us to pull out of the Paris agreement has me worried.
Worry is the expectation of bad things to occur. And right now I have zero hope that Trump will do anything good for the country given his long track record of failure and idiocy.
Don't forget, he'll probably try to ban vaccines because "vaccines cause autism" I'm seriously sick and fucking tired of people talking about autism like it's a disease that can be caught.
I was disappointed in america BEFORE the final ruling, because they let it get down to a liar and criminal or a raging carrot face who probably has his finger hanging over the big red button marked "nuke every other country" and is just waiting to take office so he can press it.
