#72I have to readjust my own mental model of what it means to be an American. It's not the end of the world, but shit, what happens to the Supreme Court will have implications for the next few decades.

#76So 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?
In 2012 Mitt Romney lost Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which Trump now won, some solidly, some barely.
With no major demographic shift there, seems also fair to assume a good portion of the voting-age population in those states saw no noticeable improvement in the past 4 years.

#77I, like many, did not see this coming and I am truly afraid for the future of the USA. We sure showed up Brexit, though.
I don't care much for america. after all they are consenting adults who voted for the best candidate they had. I am more concerned about the consequences for the rest of the world.

#78Been living in the Bay Area for 17 years. Nothing will change.
What about for poor people?
(I'm not American, don't live there, so I genuinely don't know what effect the federal government might have on each state.)

Go USA. I've got to admit it, your insane failure of democracy literally Trumps ours.
