Jotari Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 This speech though... "The forgotten men and women will not be forgotten any longer" "Now is the time for America to bind the wounds of division and come together" "I will be a President for all Americans" I guess now time will tell both a) if he'll act on it and b) what that will look like. Rhetorically though, I'm loving his speech. Do you have a non live link? Everything I'm trying to view is bogged down by lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Do you have a non live link? Everything I'm trying to view is bogged down by lag. Not yet. His speech just concluded. I imagine it'll be on Youtube shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 For what little it matters, Hawaii's votes are in. It was 63/28, in favor of Clinton. Looks like a good chunk of the voting population came to the same conclusion as me, and decided to vote for neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crysta Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) the niceness will last about a day if that someone is bound to trigger him lol the speech wasn't terrible by his standards... but his standards are pretty low to begin with.

Thane Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 How's the rest of the world taking these turn of events? Panic in my country. We're political opposites, so it's met with disgust, shaking heads and fear of Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, nothing like anti-NATO policy to do good for Europe /s. Oh well, at least my country (Australia) is in with the US, so we probably won't have it so bad. Our party leader is indifferent to Trump, but they're our GOP equivalent, so fuck. Edited November 9, 2016 by The Blind Idiot God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blah the Prussian Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Very few people here in Prague are pleased. Prague, though, is liberal, and the Czech countryside is conservative. Given that these are the same people who voted for President Miloš "schools shouldn't have to treat the mentally retarded differently" Zeman, they're probably on board with Trump. Zeman is also pretty damn pro Russia, and is even an ex-Communist. But yeah, here in Prague its mostly shock and anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLEASH IT Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 What is kinda interesting though is that a sizable amount of Hispanic men and women (33% and 26% respectively) actually voted for Trump, more than any other minority group.

Ema Skye Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 How's the rest of the world taking this turn of events? Canada is losing its mind. We voted very liberal early this year and Trump is literally the polar opposite of our Prime Minister. US/Canada relations are going to be fun!!

Punished Dayni Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Bit of shock over here I'm pretty sure. Nothing official said yet. Also, was hearing his presidential acceptance speech. Holy crap, it really is that simple language, and it makes sense he'd get as much votes as he did. Also we couldn't help but make the comparison of a line that sounds like it came from, of all things, Paw Patrol. I'm not trying to joke about this, there's a line where he went "no dream is too big" and we all noticed it. (And we have that idea because my niece loves that show). It's kind of incredible that those were the words out of a president. Though no, I do not think he's going to be a great president. So no, not enthusiastic. My parents are taking note of his ownership of a golf course in Doonbeg, and linking the two as a good thing, but I'm not seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a friend already left a group conversation after I asked her for specifics when she started raving and said World War 3 was coming, so who knows how she'll act upon seeing me in school for asking questions.
