Or...

No, but seriously, the sun will rise tomorrow, the sky will not fall (despite what people think). We’ll all be okay.

If only George Carlin had lived long enough to see this

2016 died for this

I’m not sure if he’d be laughing or crying.

Maybe so, but the fact it is currently happening in the supposedly most intellectually and technologically advanced period of enlightenment in human history is scaring me.

It’s been happening for the past 25 years. 8 years republican, 8 years democrat. We’ll see what happens in the near future, but everything will be okay.

I’m well aware that everything will be ok. I’m just disappointed.

Maybe it’s a sign that we should abandon the political extremes in this country, stop calling each other Nazis and Communists, come together, and embrace being MODERATES?

Fuck Bill Clinton. This is all his fault. Let Bubba and his wife sail off to Valinor.

The Democrats will respond with pure ideology.

Sky might not fall but the markets sure will.

On the other hand, my gold will probably jump $100/oz, so I’ve got that going for me.

The fact a goddamn Clinton isn’t considered a modrate is pretty telling. She’d be a conservative in every other first world country.

Ironically, I’m sure Treasuries will rally as well.

Perhaps, but with the markets plummeting the effect of this one night could be felt for a while.

Hillary Clinton was the “liberal” candidate. Your eulogy is a little late.

Reagan could have run as a Democrat in this election.

I don’t think that she’s an extremist, but her nonprofit and emails did her in. Benghazi didn’t do her any favors either.

Plus, calling a large portion of US citizens “deplorables” isn’t a great way to win the blue collar vote. Neither is threatening to put coal miners out of work.

So her being a moderate has nothing to do with this election. That’s what I’m saying. Just heard Rudy compare Trump to Andrew Jackson. Doesn’t bode well for our Indian brothers and sisters.

And on the positive side, it might be easier to vacation in Russia.

I wasn’t really talking about the candidates being on the extremes. More the general public. On OL, people are comparing Trump to Hitler. Other people on other sites say that all liberals are “SJWs” and worse. Let’s stop calling for “our way or the highway” and start being content negotiating a happy medium when it comes to not only legislation, but political ideology as a whole.

Do I make sense here?
