People usually react on emotion when not getting their way. It will fizzle out.

True but they usually wait until someone is sworn in before the disapproval starts.

Fair enough. It seems peaceful thus far, hopefully that holds up.

Donald Trump deserves to be protested for a multitude of reasons but he was democratically elected so if it does get out of hand it would be good to see leadership from both parties denounce it at that point.

Imagine if Clinton won

The protesters would be largely 2nd amendment champions.

It will be peaceful. Its what we do. You may not like the results but power is transferred peacefully.

The 2nd amendment was never in play. Just a scare tactic.

Of course, but he might've gotten more turnout from those that didn't vote.

He would have flipped some Trump supporters because he appeals to the white working class. People didn't vote for Trump for religious purposes. Obama was surprisingly good at appealing to white working class voters. He carried Indiana in 2008.

I had class tonight and just got home. Walking around campus was creepy. It was pretty empty for a Wednesday. The city was pretty quiet tbh. I got into the city around 5, which usually means I'm sitting in traffic for an hour, but I was on campus in 15 minutes. I think a lot of people are just in shock.

Messed up part was that I felt the same way on my campus too. Some people were laughing about it, but other people looked defeated AF

Name one country in the world (a Democracy) that runs their elections based only on the "popular vote" of the nation.

College students at several schools have started petitions urging their universities and professors to cancel classes in the wake of Donald Trump’s electoral victory, citing “emotional distress.”

All those smart people said Trump could never win..

TIM MILLER: (8/18/16) Trump is gonna get killed in the general election.

ALEX CONANT: (8/18/16) Trump is gonna suffer an embarrassing loss this fall.

RACHEL MADDOW: (7/29/16) Unless this election happens on Mars, Donald Trump will lose.

KARL ROVE: (11/2015) Republicans are not going to win this next election.

MARK CUBAN: (8/1/16) It's a landslide for Hillary. No question.

EVAN MCMULLIN: (8/14/16) Donald Trump will lose.

JEB BUSH: (12/15/15) You're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.

RYAN LIZZA: (8/17/16) Trump is on his way to lose in the biggest loss since 1984.

DAVID AXELROD: (10/23/16) I don't know any consultant who privately believes that Donald Trump’s going to win.

DANA PERINO: (8/18/16) Trump would very much be able to get 35-40% of the vote and not win.

MIKE MURPHY: (8/8/16) He’s a demagogue and a neo-racist and I hope he loses. He deserves to lose.

DIANE MACEDO: (8/15/16) A landslide defeat is very possible.

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: (8/15/16) Could be headed for a landslide defeat.

BILL KRISTOL: (9/23/16) Donald Trump will just choke.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: (05/ 2016) I don't see how he can win.

Trump was backed by 42 percent of women voters, according to CNN exit polls.

To me it sounds like sour grapes. I understand the argument and how people who hold certain views look at that as something to point to but literally every election would be decided by one state.

Not really fair logic considering there is a giant wasteland in the middle of the USA that some tard took a map of and drew lines on and broke up into waste-chunks
