OFFICIAL ELECTION RESULTS - POTUS | TRUMP ELECTED 47th President

[HeelYeah2012]

She can’t lose. I don’t understand why everyone has given up. She’s a perfect candidate and ran a near perfect campaign race.

Perfect candidate?

I would say it’s a sad day for America but i just keep thinking it’s an odd day. We have become what we used to look at and couldn’t believe. When other countries out thugs in power, we couldn’t believe it. Now we’ve become what we hated.

When did the USA hate autocrats being put in power?

Perfect candidate?

Jen O'Malley too the wind out of their sails. Really good effort post hurricanes though.

The global ramifications could be horrific. Adios Taiwan.

And don’t forget that Putin would like to have Alaska back.

But maybe Greenland has reconsidered their position

feeling that anxiety spike grow to unsustainable levels. I may have to bail out.

I am going to bed soon myself. I will resign myself to Trump winning, hopefully it wont be as bad as we think, hopefully his voters are the ones that suffer the most, and most hopefully she actually holds the blue wall and we wake up relieved.

Why didn’t Biden/ Harris remove the Trump tariffs?

Many of them expired. The ones kept in place were specifically targeted to China and not huge.

Big difference from 10-20% across the board on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs (60% to 200%) on any country Trump gets angry at.

EDIT — PLEASE TAKE THE TARIFF DISCUSSION TO THE TARIFF THREAD. THANKS.

Ford, Carter, Reagan, 41, Clinton certainly weren't autocrats. Obama wasn't. W let Cheney run the show and Trump is Trump.

Well, we've kept hearing from Trumpers throughout the campaign - and on this very board - that things really "won't get that bad" if Trump is elected. I guess we're about to find out. And for the record, if he does win I think his second term is going to be a nightmare for everyone, and in the end even for most Trump voters, although they'll be loathe to admit it. We may have well reached the "fuck around and find out" stage of things.

I am at least going to take a nap and give some time for some more results to come in. In 2020, it was Wednesday afternoon before we had more clarity about a number of states that Biden eventually won.

Mostly the EVs. You'd think Musk would be grateful.

Yeah my wife has ordered me to disengage. I am going to bed accepting that there is nothing I can do about it, though that doesn't help accepting it itself

but...

Arizona dead heat after first dump. 50% in.

i hope Matt littlejohn doesn’t find this board.

We'll need to alert Sarah Palin and her backyard.

That basically locks in Trump for AZ

I was hopeful it would be a nice evening. I was in denial it could come down to the blue wall. And sure enough, it will

Can she hold it?

The “Blue Wall” doesn’t exist; if it did, this would be over.

My genuine concern, beyond the mere collapse of my retirement fund (which I fully expect), is we'll be on the brink of a Russo-European war within a couple of years. A war I fully expect will involve tactical nukes, at a minimum.

My genuine concern is that it’s basically lights out for humanity as far as climate change is concerned. This is the critical window and we’re gonna miss it.

Dem vote comes in late in AZ. Same for GA, PA, even WI.
