Kind of sucks when the nightmare you've been having for weeks comes true.

  - Since the majority of my Latino family voted for him I’ll offer their reasoning but it involves blame on liberals so don’t read if that may upset you - Dawson Nov 6, 07:36 1

  - That has crossed my mind the last 6 weeks when it seemed he didn't care what he did or said. It came off to me that he knew the fix was in. If they - zunk takes things literally Nov 6, 07:35
  - That exists, but when latino men shift by 33% that's a dramatic change. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 07:22 12
    - I really thought that above all, we were a racist country. Turns out, that's secondary to sexist. Men of all races are scared of women. - Turd Ferguson Nov 6, 07:24 3
      - But yeah, this is what's blowing my mind. They'd rather deport their mother than vote for a woman. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:25 1
        
        r/LeopardsAteMyFace is in for a boom cycle. nm - Dignan Nov 6, 07:29
      - I don't understand why the women didn't come out. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:24
    - That's straight up misogyny. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:23 7
      - Definitely, but that didn't happen with Hillary. - Inigo Nov 6, 07:27 3
        
        See? that's not entirely what I'm saying. I'm saying that women's health and women's rights being at the forefront of this election brought out the - Turd Ferguson Nov 6, 07:30
        
        What was latino support for Obama like? -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:28 1
        
        Huge enough to win Florida both times, and have Dems think that Texas might turn purple. -- nm - Inigo Nov 6, 07:32
      - Which also seems rampant among younger men/boys. It's so disappointing. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 07:26
      - And a healthy dose of racism, unfortunately. nm - Dignan Nov 6, 07:25 1
        
        So racism is strong enough to vote for a guy who hates YOU. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:26
  - I mean, sure, but too many previously blue demographics broke for Trump. nm - Dignan Nov 6, 07:20 6
    - (Latinos especially.) nm - Dignan Nov 6, 07:21 5
      - Yeah, this is insane to me. He hates them even if they're legal. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:23
      - I heard AOC say that one in 15 households in the US has an undocumented member. most of those latino. like wtf you just voted for your mom to be - amandachem Nov 6, 07:23 3
        
        See also: Arab counties breaking for Trump. - Dignan Nov 6, 07:27 1
        
        Well, they know he’s feckless and they can bribe him … they got cash. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 07:32
        
        Exactly. Probably multiple members. And Trump will find ways to make legal immigrants illegal. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:24
- it's unfathomable. -- nm - amandachem Nov 6, 07:15 1
  - The Jets are 12-1 and I've never felt worse. It's obscene. nm - Dignan Nov 6, 07:19
I've felt the same way for the past month or so. - Inigo Nov 6, 07:11 1
- just absolutely brutal. - Jovian Nov 6, 07:15
The setting back just happened. It -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:10
Word. I don't remember a time I've been this dark. Except I let myself think that we could win this. I can barely breathe. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 6, 07:06 3
- I was stupid enough to think it was possible and damn, I regret it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 07:10
- me too, exactly. I feel like I'm going through the motions. -- nm - amandachem Nov 6, 07:07
- Word. I'm just so angry and feel hopeless. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 07:07
