honestly i'm just at this strange state where everything makes perfect sense and this was predictable

except the polls. seriously, what the gently caress happened with the polls??

Now is a good time to accept that we live in a deterministic universe, and should therefore resort to a politics rooted in material analysis. Like Marxism.

the wounds are fresh now, but the hate for trump, his people, and what it all represents isn't going to go away. and of course it's been true in reverse too - we've continually mocked the right wing as being haters, but it's our turn now. and this is a growing phenomenon, and it's like, we've passed some kind of point of no return it feels like. maybe a while ago. i dunno. it's not just partisanship anymore.

Feels like the opposite of 2008, we traded places with the freepers. On the plus side it's 8 years later and we're all still here, maybe it'll happen again

Honestly, if we believe that Trump has lied to the white working class, that he won't be able to deliver on the MAGAing that he's promised them...why is the conclusion that Clinton should have just lied to them harder? Fact is, she likely wouldn't have been able to fix the issues that are leading to their downfall either, especially with an uncooperative House and Senate. Hindsight being what it is, we were hosed electorally either way, if Clinton won it would have been simply kicked down the road a bit.

because every candidate lies. the reality is that many voters know that what's being said is lies, but it makes them feel better about voting for that candidate because said candidate is saying with these lies "I know what bothers you. I know what you want. I know what will make you vote for me. I will try to do these things that will make you vote for me a second time later on. We both know that I will probably not succeed, but We both know that I know what You want."

Trump lied out his rear end but his voting base got the idea of what he knew they wanted, thats why they cheered at universal heatlhcare in the primaries despite a decade to the contrary. that's why they cheer when he twists the blade in Hillary's back by talking up her service to the country despite talking about locking her up. That's why Obama is leaving with amazing favorability numbers despite healthcare still being expensive, college still being expensive, and TPP on the horizon.

Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
The fact the Dems held almost no power from local branches up and were betting on the Presidency with a charisma-less Me Too candidate should have clued me in, but I"m a dumbass. So, eggs on my face, President-elect Trump. Please don't punish me by pouring molten gold on us Hillary voters from a giant cauldron shaped like your head!

Someone recently asked me how long after the apocalypse it would take me to eat a person and I said I'd "try to make it a year".

In this climate, I see no reason to adhere to such promises when promises are bullshit candyfloss, but I'll meet him halfway and will not eat him personally.

"To be quite frank, Platinum sucks at making games. Vanquish was terrible and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance was so boring it put me to sleep."

I said somewhere:

"Trump is the big red shiny button that has the notice "DON'T PRESS" above it. It's the button all the experts, all the smart people, were telling you not to press. And you pressed it. Probably because people were telling you not to press it."
