The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.
Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.
"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

Not really neede, but I cite Obama. Seriously. Specifically the administration and agenda.
We would've got four years (maybe eight), of the same toxic anti-consumer, anti-American, anti-privacy bullshit we had under Obama. Civil rights would've continued to erode, the globalist agenda would've been furthered, the TPP would've already been signed by that bitch, the unPatriot Act extended automatically by reflex, some more countries declared war on, etc. Nothing about that bitch was good at all, and it all SCREAMED Establishment's Number One Bitch. There would've been some good PC stuff in there too to let the left stupidly gloat, but at the same time a fascist movement to "protect" speech would've got the president it really wanted.
That being said, I voted for that toxic hell-bound bitch precisely because I felt it was the lesser of two evils compared a truly demented piece of shit being given power. At the last minute I will still deciding on Fire & Brimstone versus Crushing Globalist Agenda. At that very last second I realized I couldn't give somebody that hostile, narcissistic, and child like great power. We needed to take our chances with the bitch.
Runaway is actually correct in this case. I'm not a Democrat, but became one to support Bernie. I do believe that bulk of the fault for the Democrat's failure is purely themselves, and not the Electoral College, and not some "deplorables". Some Trump voters are truly deplorable, but then a good chunk of them simply couldn't stomach Hillary. It would've been totally different with Bernie, and they would've railed against the socialism perhaps, but not such a visceral reaction against evil like Hillary. For those that didn't believe Trump was unhinged, well it was a pretty easy decision to vote for him I think as long as you were even a little right of center.
Hillary's stink can never be understated as the reason for the Democrat's failure.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

^ This, this, all of this. I wound up following your thought process almost exactly, and have since been in grieving for a nation that was fated to die no matter who won.
We can only hope that enough people are jarred out of their apathetic slumber by 2020, if not 2018, to right the ship of state before it takes on too much water. I'm not holding my breath, but we're not dead yet.

I have to agree completely.
I'd also like to add about the Electoral College that the angry Hillary voters keep bringing up: that's the system we have in this country, like it or not. And this isn't the first time the EC has burned the Dems: the exact same thing happened in 2000 with Al Gore. So what did the Democratic Party do about this? Did they attempt to pass a Constitutional Amendment to change the system when they had power? Hell no. So shut the fuck up about the EC! If you're really mad about the EC, then fix it, don't whine about it. But I never see the Dems make any moves to reform it, or to fix the elections in any way (such as getting away from First Past The Post).

That sounds a lot like what I went through. It was the longest I can remember standing in a voting booth in my life.
There was one candidate who we were all told would win, and I knew the consequences of her losing would have been unbearable. Then she lost.
We're in for a very interesting year.

In America the good guy always wins! (Electoral) Majority rules, man. Everybody knew them going in. And the voters chose the nominees. Naturally they will choose the "lesser evil". Who wouldn't?
