Because throwing a massive hissyfit and silencing and degrading Trump Voters as racist sexists, when many of them (especially moderates sick of Clinton) aren't even that, instead of engaging in civil dialogue, can only be sure to backfire in antifa's face. I accepted the results within 12 hours of the event. And I live in suburban New England silly.

trump voters are racist sexists, where’s the degradation

well tbh the main positive take-away i got was that its far easier to do a recount in one or two states than it would be to do a nation wide recount

The electoral college is there for historical reasons that "make sense" in the realpolitik of the time obviously, but recount is the only actually-good argument for it that I've seen.

Then again in practice that incorrectly gave us Bush over Gore in Florida so maybe there is no argument.

I was thinking about that and I don’t think Nixon used the word shithole, we know what profanities he did and didn’t use (Nixon also makes the idea of someone being shocked that the President would swear pretty funny), lbj and dubya I’m not sure

Nah, virtually all the Presidents said nasty poo poo. For example:

NIXON: You know what's happened [in northern California]?

EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.

NIXON: But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time--it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.

Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.

NIXON: Jesus Christ.
