It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I’m not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

    Do remember that it was the majority of those who voted, not the majority of the populace. Right-wing politics have been in the minority and declining for some time but holding on through cheating the electoral system and making the House of Representatives not proportional as it was intended.

    Try to help your fellow people, as you can, even if it’s telling shitty jokes. I try to take some comfort in the fact that authoritarian governments are unsustainable and always fall eventually. Whether we make it through alive or not, we can try to make things better for those who come after us.
