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?

I got the news right before bed, so I didn't sleep. As the cool headed one in my family, I'm having to give pep talks to folks who are genuinely very frightened but there isn't really anyone to do the same for me--- plus, being more informed than my family, I'm also the most likely to actually know how fucked we are.

This isn't a great morning and I still have to teach a class later at an all women's university.

If it makes you feel better, the one genuine silver lining I’ve found is my family in the military say that the odds of these chucklefucks getting full military support is very unlikely.

But is such a small silver lining…

It's only good for the threat of him trying to use the military on his own people. Small silver lining indeed.
