I don't see what the hell is so wrong with Brexit. What is so noble about going down with a sinking ship that you were forced to board in the first place?
While Trump is far from my first choice, it is far better than continuing Obama's policies. Just look up Seth Rich in the news. Plus I rather have hicks choose the new leaders rather than the always corrupt and brainless progressive liberals.

The late Richard Rorty, important american philosopher, foresaw this happening in 1997:
"Members of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even trying to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being exported. Around the same time, they will realize that suburban white-collar workers—themselves desperately afraid of being downsized—are not going to let themselves be taxed to provide social benefits for anyone else.
At that point, something will crack. The nonsuburban electorate will decide that the system has failed and start looking around for a strongman to vote for—someone willing to assure them that, once he is elected, the smug bureaucrats, tricky lawyers, overpaid bond salesmen, and postmodernist professors will no longer be calling the shots….
One thing that is very likely to happen is that the gains made in the past forty years by black and brown Americans, and by homosexuals, will be wiped out. Jocular contempt for women will come back into fashion…. All the resentment which badly educated Americans feel about having their manners dictated to them by college graduates will find an outlet. "

Considering all the awful things that Trump wants to do to minorities, LGBTQIA people, and women, you really should reconsider your ignorant statement. This isn't like when Bush was re-elected in '04 and people were moping around, complaining that their milquetoast candidate (Kerry) didn't get in. Trump's rhetoric and the actions of his supporters, in one day since he became the President-Elect, have spoken volumes that all men are most definitely not created equally: https://medium.com/@seanokane/day-1-in-trumps-america-9e4d58381001?swoff=true
This isn't a liberal vs conservative thing, a red state vs blue state thing, a Democrat vs Republican thing, a country bumpkin vs a city slicker thing. It's a love vs hate situation, and Trump and his supporters have made it clear that they have no interest in including everyone – only heterosexual white Christian Americans who irrationally fear that the durrty furreigners are gonna take their jobs.
Spoiled brats? Nah. They're legitimately and rightfully fearful for what Trump will do to unravel decades worth of work for civil and human rights.

No we didn't. The popular vote was for Hillary. She won by 1%, and almost half the nation didn't vote. Less than a quarter of America got what they ordered thanks to an antiquated electoral process that was originally created to give white landowners more power in elections.

^ Even us, in Argentina, changed that stupid law in the 90s. I don't know why you never changed it, it's so bad for the country.
EDIT: Actually, I think it was deleted from the first constitution.
Okay? I saw that and was horrified, and I saw that somewhere else (California, I think?) that a girl was also harassed for allegedly voting Trump. It doesn't make any of it okay, but the truth of the matter is that Trump has fed into people's basic, primal fears of anyone who isn't white or straight, and now his supporters have already shown that they want no part of a unified America. They want it to be pure white. Trump spoke (uncharacteristically) on Wednesday of unifying America, and yet for the past 18 months he's spoken about how it's okay to beat people up for being different – he'll just pay their legal bills.

Oh please, don't start with the racist labeling
Trump won because the middle class is fed up, jobs, economy, not because of racism.
The middle class is paying for everything and yet they still dont realize that one day that money
will run out when all the jobs are gone. That's why they are angry and voted for Trump, not because they
want to go backwards regarding rights etc
Talking about illegals and the law/rules does not make someone a racist.
Just like i dealt with Obama for 8 years now you deal with Trump or go protest, it's your right.

Look at the link I posted, where Trump supporters are literally spewing racist, hateful things at people who aren't white.
You dealt with Obama for 8 years. How is your life worse off now than it was 8 years ago? Genuinely curious.

Obamacare. Because the average age of the company I work for is in the mid-fifties the rates are sky high. Because our rates are so high, Obama designates our insurance plan as a Cadillac plan and imposes hefty financial penalties.
The reason Trump won is because Hilary is so corrupt, not because the vast majority of Trump voters are a basket of deplorables.

If you think Hillary is corrupt, then you're in for a big surprise with Trump. If you're surprised that Hillary is corrupt, then you're not paying attention to any of the politicians, especially the ones Trump has now associated himself with. (Oh yeah, "draining the swamp" – and now he's bringing in Gingrich, Guiliani, Carson, and Myron Ebell. Such political outsiders!) Look at Trump's track record. Look at his failed businesses. Look at the bevy of lawsuits that are stacking up against him now. And now, the oppressed straight whites across middle America are taking his rhetoric and are making it clear that non-white, LEGAL Americans are foreigners in their own country.
I wasn't thrilled to vote for Hillary, even though she's been training for this her entire life. But I voted for what she believed in, not necessarily the person. Trump is going to undo all the civil and human rights that have been hard-fought over the past few decades.
But hey, enjoy your cheaper healthcare.

Agree 100%, same here, paying a lot more for insurance and seems a lot less coverage.
Raises these days seems non existent, for years, not blaming obama but i have seen nothing to help over the years.
In my opinion if Hilary won it would have been the same, nothing for the middle working class but pay more and more.

Such drama and hysteria ... Is the sky falling too?
Clinton is the ultimate insider and chameleon whose views change at the whims of the polls. Her "debts" to foreign nations via the Clinton Foundation, labor unions, ambulance chasers and Wall Street fortunately will not be paid.
Trump is an outsider that does not even have the support of the Republican party. Very little of what he supposedly wants will get through Congress.
Maybe he will be able to reinstate slavery if he gets re-elected (sarcasm).
