Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S. • Hacker News Board

So as a European ... Clinton didn't spend enough time in the Upper Midwest expecting to carry those states, but Trump had an actual message for them (NAFTA, etc.) while Hillary didn't, and they don't care that he is racist and sexist, they want their jobs back, so the election was called by a 40+ white demo in an economically depressed region just like old Middle England called Brexit. About right?

I, like many, did not see this coming and I am truly afraid for the future of the USA. We sure showed up Brexit, though.

Ah well, and his party has house and Senate too. I've been looking through his policies and I'm amazed at how he won.

I'm gonna be angry about this for an hour before I give find something else to do.
