America would rather be led by someone who boasts of assaulting women, than a woman

And some people think we don't need feminism any more.

Republicans have taken the Senate too, and held the House. So Trump will be able to get his policies through where Obama couldn't. Shit.

Don't be ridiculously simplistic.

Merkel will be kicked to the curb next election too.

Puitin has sent trump a telegram apparently congratulating him so that relationship isnt terrifying

I predict Marine le Pen winning in France next year.

MrsJayy · 09/11/2016 08:33

ophella i think you are right he put himself over as an ordinary man who was going to save them from the elite (which he is part of)

MrsJayy · 09/11/2016 08:30

See they are all going to crawl out from under their KKK hoods and stand up and shout look at us its terrifying.

StealthPolarBear · 09/11/2016 08:29

That's how I feel xeno. I had anxiety dreams all night that trump won (I actually wasn't that invested in the election but had to get up very early for a train so that what my night time anxious brain fixated on) and woke up to learn it was all true

0phelia · 09/11/2016 08:29

I'm not convinced the result can be explained by misogyny alone. I think America hated the idea of another polished professional politician because they want change and any change will do. Same with Brexit. It was the rebel vote. The shake up the system vote. He may even have won against another Sanders if he was in the running instead, the way Sanders was painted.
Well we're all buggered now anyway.

Apparently the leader of the Klu Klux Klan said 'We elected Trump' according to Jeremy Vines just now.
If this is true God help everyone.

Xenophile · 09/11/2016 08:27

I am obviously in the wrong parallel universe.

I want to go back to the one where good sense rules over racism, misogyny and hatred.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 09/11/2016 08:26

Jerry in part it's a reaction to Obama. If you listen to Trump's victory speech you can clearly hear people shouting 'Jail Obama, Jail Obama'.

Saw someone on a friend's social media earlier claiming to have 'survived' Obama too...

Seems that the only thing worse than a black president is a woman...

MrsJayy · 09/11/2016 08:24

The only saving grace is he has to get his ridiculousness through senate.

JerryFerry · 09/11/2016 08:22

It certainly looks that way. Hard to fathom how America can vote in Obama one election and Trump the next...

MrsJayy · 09/11/2016 08:20

Its so ingrained that men can do a better job that a fuckwit is now president. Hilary clinton was researching universal healthcare 20 something years ago for the US he wants to build a fucking wall.

SpeakNoWords · 09/11/2016 08:19

I am sickened by this. Cant even think about it for too long. The next four years are going to be horrific.

BertrandRussell · 09/11/2016 08:17

"Most qualified woman in the world loses to the least qualified man in the world. In case If you were confused about what misogyny looks like"

One of the many tweets this morning.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 09/11/2016 08:15

Basically Sad

Fuck.

GiveMeRitz · 09/11/2016 08:15

Yeap.

It doesn't matter how much power he'll actually have, the USA has just proved that any male no matter how unqualified and immoral (not to mention criminal) is still better than a woman.

It's said that sexual assaulting women and boasting about it is ok. As someone on another thread said it's proof that a rape accusation doesn't harm a man career…

I predict in the USA that sexual assaults will increase and convictions go down.
Homophobic and racist attacks will increase.
Shootings of in particular young black men will increase but seem to decrease as it won't be reported as much. Or will be deemed justifiable.

Attacks on abortion clinics will increase, the few that are left, that's if it's not outlawed totally.

Scarey scarey day

AndYourBirdCanSing · 09/11/2016 08:08

I am utterly horrified. Just speechless, really

Cocolepew · 09/11/2016 08:05

I'm speechless, I could cry

Systamex · 09/11/2016 08:02

I am so horrified. I've just been told to "stop making it all about women". I can't look my daughters in the eyes. It seems so pointless trying to pass on my beliefs to them when the world clearly thinks otherwise.

Pluto30 · 09/11/2016 08:00

Lumpy And yet you see it as your world. Says more about you than them.

MrsJayy · 09/11/2016 07:55

I just cant make any sense of it,

LumpySpacedPrincess · 09/11/2016 07:52

Yep, Hilary was held to a far higher standard than any man. I am disgusted by the misogyny and racism that is openly spouted by "the people."

Right now I want "the people" to fuck off, I am sick of them trashing my world.
