We're all fucked.
The inauguration in January will be an interesting affair
First Brexit now Trump.
I think we underestimate how full of hate the population of the world are.
Sad times. Hate and fear won over here, now it's won over there.

Anyone got a spare nuclear bunker btw? Asking for a friend.
As bad a candidate as Hilary Clinton was, I don't think it made any difference
Really? I honestly don't think Trump could have won against many candidates. Clinton really is hated out there.
Who though? Who would have stopped him surging in the mid west taking states the republicans haven't won in over thirty years?.
This was the industrial mid west the rust belt, working class whites saying they've had enough.
This wasn't about hatred of her, I'm sure she isn't well liked but I don't think even Obama could have won last night.
She was ahead in the polls till the email thing, although polls seem to be increasingly unreliable. Apart from the angry mobs no-one really seemed to like either candidate, I think if there was a candidate who people actually liked then they'd have won easily.
I don't agree with a lot of what NQ says, but I think he identified a push back against Globalisation and that's pretty much what this is.
Brexit and this are about people feeling they have lost their values and what they stood for.
Although where he believes all states should be abolished, this is a push towards nationalism and not away from it.
