There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

The night is darkest just before the dawn, gentlemen. And it's pitch-black out there.
But by God(s) and men, we can triumph.
"All you Fascists bound to lose.""We really have to experience directly how truly bad something is in order to learn to stay the hell away from it. "
in my experience living a fuck up country said they wont learn, they will ether blame others when thing go wrong(and they will go wrong) or just said "Well, Trump was bad but the next one, that surely would do!"
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Some of my friends are blaming overly self-righteous elements of the left for "othering" moderate white rural voters who would've otherwise agree with them but took a Then Let Me Be Evil route because of their arrogance. While I kinda see what they're getting at, that wouldn't explain voting for a guy who outright admits to molesting women and threatening to beat and kill minorities. No amount of spite would justify supporting someone who believes in that.
And the problem with Republicans being in charge is the Trump campaign showed their voters don't care how awful they are, they'll still vote for them just because they're Republicans.
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
@ R Bluefish I'm calling it when one hits 270 or Google declares a winner. Either way I have several images and videos on standby.
And the Four Horsemen and Adios MFers as well.
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than Yours@Zero Point: I mean this seriously, maybe seek professional help, mental money whatever.. I've been in counseling for a few weeks and it does make you feel better. If nothing else, you can hope and fight for a better tomorrow. I know it feels like empty words, but it helps me.
