I can't wait to go sit in my room at work that's made up entirely of minorities. I'm going to build a tiny wall around my desk .



Also does anyone have statistics on how badly Hillary outspent Trump? I really want to rub this in the face of all the anti-citizens united folks, because in a no - CU world Trump gets an even bigger advantage.

Duterte is actually incredibly popular in his country even though he's burning every bridge there was.

Who knows maybe Trump will usher in a populist revolution paved with the bodies of hispanics! (Im hispanic)

Two things: what's the final senate count? 51 right? And might get to 52? Feingold and Bayh losing is hilarious

also Trump just destroyed all political science theory regarding GOTV and polling. Hillary should've outperformed polls by 5%+ (based on obama outperforming by 2.5+ over a competent romney team) and instead she underperformed by 5%+.

also I'm so hosed w/r/t health insurance but on the plus side getting back into foreclosure law is about to be very viable!!

Reminder that the DNC had information on every individual registered voter in all swing states, and yet this *gestures wildly toward MI, WI, PA, and FL* still happened.

This is Romney-level embarrassment of misunderstanding and underestimating voters in swing states.

Turns out, spurning a voting base after the term limit was up for the incumbent via an extremely polarizing candidate resulted in an unprecedented event, and now we're all going along for 4 years of Trump that could very well result in the republicans creating a 2020 version of the KC Green dog fire cartoon where the charred husk of a beagle mutters "this is fine" in an ashen house while still getting 54% of the popular vote

My family is going to lose its health insurance.

I just picked up a bottle of pills the other day. The generics were free, but would be $500 a month otherwise. My wife's meds, $1,200 a month without insurance, free with insurance.

Millions will lose their insurance. And prices will keep going up.

I only hope they keep the pre- existing conditions stuff but there is a very good chance they won't.
