To the 5% of people in Arizona who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 11 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
To the 3% of people in Florida who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 29 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
To the 5.5% of people in Michigan who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 16 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
To the 5% of people in New Hampshire who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 4 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
To the 3.3% of people in Pennsylvania who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 20 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
To the 5.7% of people in Wisconsin who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 10 electoral votes that would have gone to her.
Total, that is 90 electoral votes. As I type this, Hillary needs 61 to win.
Please just let that sink in for a second.
Hillary would’ve been elected right now, at this very moment, if instead of you protesting your vote, had just voted for her. She would EASILY be President.
You KNEW 3rd party candidates didn’t stand a chance. You were told. But instead, you had to vote for them anyways, and guess what?
You screwed us over. Congratulations.
I hope that feeding your “both candidates are bad” superiority complex is worth a Trump presidency.
I don’t think people understand what we’re really concerned about.
Like okay, it’s not just about Trump becoming President. He can become president and we’ll have a shitty president, fine.
It’s the amount of HATE he spread and encouraged during his campaigns. The amount of his followers that are filled with hate and violence is frightening to all those that would be effected.
It’s not just about a president we don’t want getting elected. It’s about these people feeling justified in their actions and setting out to commit more hate crimes.
People are afraid because of the following. People are afraid of the Followers.
Let’s put it this way…. What happens when someone popular on the internet says something that causes their followers to direct their attention to either a particular person or a group? THE FOLLOWERS BLINDLY ATTACK, NOW PUT THAT IN REAL LIFE PHYSICAL FORM BUT WITH PEOPLE WITH BIGOTED IDEALS?
Not all Trump supporters support this attitude or are bigoted, that is true, but they are turning a blind eye to the consequences of supporting Trump has caused.
Other countries who have dealt with horrid leaders in the past are looking at America right now and going “Wtf? Did they not learn World History?” and “This is crazy bs.”
Celebrities/Actors/etc had banded together to sing a song about voting against Trump because it was THAT BAD.
Seriously, how much more do people need to get the hint?
I’m seriously going to start working out and look into getting a gun so that I can protect my household. Even if nothing happens, I still want to be prepared in case anyone tries to attack us. I have to fight to make sure my family at least feels a little bit safer which is shit considering we felt safe before this.

Even before election day, his sheer presence in the race caused violence and hate by bigots using his campaign as an excuse to act on their shitty racism. Remember back when a bunch of trump supporters beat up and pissed on a homeless latino man or that video of a trump supporter threatening a black man? If that still doesn’t make you belive that no matter what, his presence will cause violence, look at brexit where the day after, there were people using it as an excuse to validate their xenophobia.
Trump and his wife voted last night and Trump is glancing (or apperaing to glance) at Melania’s vote. This, to me, is very frightening for a couple reasons.
I find it…. a bit odd he is invading her privacy, but I am scared for this woman. It looks as if that if she isn’t voting for him that he will hurt her or do worse. This is so gross, spread this. This might be an ignorant post, but I will update the post if I get more information.
