Well, it was a nice country while it lasted. But thisā€¦ this is the sort of thing that ends republics like a period ends a sentence.

I feel like I should be joining an underground resistance cell. Anybody know any good ones? I have my own leather jacket.

I know what you mean. Hillary is the only sane choice. There is no way there are that many people can fall for a con man like Trump. Damn it America.

I think itā€™s like Brexit. Seemed almost impossible to imagine such mass stupidity. But, people are surprisingly stupid sometimes.

It is beyond stupid, it is downright self destructive. Letā€™s face it, the zombie apocalypse is here and the zombies are conservatives. The infection started in Britain, spread to the Philippines, and now has a grip on the US. Too bad you canā€™t bash in the heads of stupids like you can zombies/

Brexit 2.0 as far as iā€™m concerned. Early polls and projections are hopelessly inaccurate, currencies are tanking and you got people tweeting black mirror memes. Yup, all present and correct.

I liked Fight Club for that great ending where fantasy-world corporate town Wilmington, Delaware, is demolished as Ed Norton and HBC (oooh, aaaah, HBC) gaze from their new anarcho-kingdom. But not because I wanted to see it happen in real life but with a fascist rapist instead. This is unpleasant, to say the least.

Should I slip over to ST:DS9 for an episode, take a breather? I think thatā€™s what Iā€™ll do.

While it makes some unhappy to mention, itā€™s the same evil stupidity of Brexit - ignorant racists with a fantasy of trying to ā€œtake their country backā€ with no idea what their choices mean in the real world.

We can only hopeā€¦ But Pence as president or another election is not palatable either. America congrats, you just fucked yourself.

Okay, switching from dramatic music to comfort music now.

Letā€™s hope the election results follow suit.

I had your optimism until an hour ago, then I lost hope. Please, please I want to be wrong.

Anyone else starting to think of potential names for the successor state, after the war, defeat and reconstruction? Iā€™m fond of the Phoenix States, personally.
