i'll not do my usual bait business here
but let's just say i'm legitimately surprised that this is the outcome

there's a long battle ahead should you wish to change things, and i foresee something big coming. bigger than the election itself, maybe.
good luck, i suppose. not much for me to do from here.

I'm here to put the entire scenario involving each candidate's ideals and conduct aside for a brief moment in order to point out how much Trump must be thinking the election is rigged now.

That is all. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Honestly, he looks like he didn't want this.

Just don't protest right now, guys. You can protest, but do it right, and don't join the crowds. It's not safe right now.

I highly doubt Trump actually thought he'd win.

And please, there are more than one kind of protests going on right now. The ones in Boston are peaceful and they are being praised for their peacefulness and cooperation with the law. Know what you're going into before you protest. Boston is a place of class. 8) (before anyone comments: this post is not meant to discuss the protests' goals themselves. Let people cope whatever way they can.)

I'm going to be blunt about this, but we complained about Obama until now. I've heard people wanting to impeach him and whatnot. Now that Trump is elected, I'm hearing praise all over Obama. I don't know what to expect from Trump, so I can't assume he's going to "Make America Great Again" or make it worse. I would've say the same if Hillary was elected. All I ever here is negativity coming out of politics, and it's why I hate it so much. If Trump does something really bad, then let's impeach him, yes. But until then, let's enjoy the last of Obama's 2nd term in office.

Well with this election I'm literally fearing for my life for very valid reasons so I can't be as hunky dory and shrug as you are

I understand. I'm concerned for the Mexicans, especially the smash players over there like MK Leo, whom I have started to really enjoy watching. But I refuse to let this fear take me down. All I have done is run away, and I won't do it again even if it's a potential government disaster.

And, I'm pretty frustrated. Look at the numbers. It looks like if all the third party votes had gone to Hillary instead, Trump would not have won. In all the closest races, the third party votes made all the difference in the world. In the worst possible way.

A different perspective of why people are protesting, for those who may not understand:
