Can’t believe they don’t see they did this to themselves, the most obvious example I can think of:
Every time people who happen to be muslims act like terrorists and murder some people the powers that be declare it’s nothing to do with islam.
IE, believe us people, not your lying eyes…
Assume that everything they touch is turned to shit in the same way, then ask why did they think more of the same would get elected?

Once there was a wicked witch
In the lovely land of USA
And a wickeder, wickeder,
Wickeder witch that never, ever was
She filled the folks in Munchkin Land
With terror and with dread
Till one fine day from PA
A house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her political dreams DEAD
And through the town the joyous news went running
The joyous news that the wicked old witch
Was finally done in
Ding-Dong! The witch is dead!
Which old witch?
The wicked witch
Ding-Dong! The wicked witch is dead!
Wake up you sleepy head
Rub your eyes
Get out of that bed
Wake up! The wicked old witch is dead!
She’s gone where the goblins go
Below, below, below – yo-ho!
Let’s open up and sing
And ring those bells out…
Sing the news out!
Ding-Dong! The merry-o
Sing it high and sing it low
Let them know the wicked old witch is dead
Why everyone’s glad
She took such a crownin’
Bein’ hit by a house
Is even worse than drownin’
Let ’em know the wicked old witch is dead!!!
A correction: I see all the results aren’t in yet so Trump’s not quite got the popular vote yet.

John Miller,
He’s not going to be revolutionary (despite the Left trying desperately to paint him as Hitler reborn). But he will nominate one or two right-leaning Supreme Court judges, and he can probably get immigration under control. I’d expect a fair bit of union-bashing too. These are modest gains by any standards, but it’s more than we’ve come to expect from a Republican presidency.
Mr Ecks
The 1st and 2nd Amendments will stand, Obamacare will fall and the gift of 4 years to arm and prepare.
Also if the economic shit hits the fan then Trump might just have the balls to do the right moves instead of making everything worse.
Bloke in North Dorset
“If Trump ends up doing something truly revolutionary over the next five years I’ll be amazed.”
Given its a 4 year term if he’s still there in 5 years it will either have been a revolution with him taking over as dictator or he’s done so well gets re-elected.
You have to understand that Think Progress is a John Podesta outfit, and as of Hillary Clinton’s concession speech, he is no longer of any use to Democrats. He will soon be purged, as will those Clintonistas who were too stupid to have contingency plans in place for their careers.
These snowflakes are melting down because they see unemployment in their near future. The Guardian and The Nation aren’t hiring.

BiT’s plan for Trump:
– remember that you don’t run a biznis well by hiring your *political* cronies. Be very careful who you appoint.
– understand that anything which takes money and delivers or promises to deliver goods or services is a company. Make sure that unions and the political parties are registered as companies and make sure they obey the law. Especially monopoly law.
– in amuch more complicated vein, think about what might work to reduce the costs of healthcare and the deterioration of too many inner cities. Elements of improvement probably include getting rid of employer-provided health insurance, and serious consideration of some form of universal income, replacing all minimum wage BS, unemployment bennies etc. Available to all citizens who have worked (say) five years.
– for pleasure, whenever the urge strikes, talk about how much better the USA would be if it were run by the mechanisms and people of the EU. Try to hold off laughing as long as possible.

Yeah, well, his daughter’s Orthodox, and I’ve simply come to expect that the Left always call Jews Nazis these days. It’s Pavlovian.

I remember Reagan’s win in 1984 (vaguely). What the media (here and in the US) said about him then they said about Trump, except they turned the volume up for Trump. They say it about every Republican candidate who wins or who looks like winning. They have shouted “Wolf” for fifty years and so why pay any attention to them at all?
The youngsters bawling their eyes out haven’t had this decades long education yet, so their ignorance is excusable.

I see Paul Krugman this morning predicted a recession that would never end now that Trump has won.
Less than 12 hours later the Dow is up 270+ points.

I’m sure firing the entire department of education, by itself, would lead to a recession. When Mugabe went after the white farmers every cunt who had anything fled, not just the small percentage of the population who were white farmers.
I was talking to one of my best friends, who is based in Asia, at 6am this morning. He has/had considerable equity in USD and he was trying to get it all out, before the final result was even 100%. While he may have been a bit jumpy (and I’m not sure he was even successful, as normally the trades go through in minutes, but his were still pending after a couple of hours…) this is what happens when investors are spooked by just the concept of Trump – never mind full blown actual fucking Trump.
If I have to argue this point then I’m wasting my time. As much as the likes of Worstall seems amused by the whole concept of Trump I know from his writings that he understands how growth needs a culture of economic freedom – not a dim witted strongman trying to fix things from the top down.

BiM–Same scare mongering shit as Brexit. Your various mates can sod off as well.
Protectionism is not a good idea. But to proclaim the present set up as economic freedom is a bad joke.
Western political trash up to now haven’t given a shite about the consequences that offshoring jobs have had on their own people. Just white trash after all.
In a free market jobs that go to places where they can be done cheaper should be replaced here by new, high tech work. But that isn’t happening because of the fucking state. Zero interest rates/thieving taxes/moronic regulations/inflation/shite state schools/welfare-trashed, minimum wage workforces/migrant wage-blasters and more mean that jobs go and are replaced by no or crappier jobs. The fucking polits and the high-end middle/upper class don’t give a coprolite. They can move to nice sunny climes and enjoy the London/Washington DC Bubble: Overseas division. Like all those Malteasers to bring you your expensive used-elsan coffee while you sit in the sun at a pavement café working your laptop.
Trump has won because he is smart and he has learned all through this campaign. I think that he will THINK about what he is going to do next. He has little room for effective action because of the shit nature of America’s finances. But stopping the war in the Mid-East/ not having a lovely nuclear conflict/ stopping being the world policeman-protector at yuuge expense may allow him to reform large elements of the US. An economic crunch is coming regardless of who is in. Cuntlery would only have made matters a thousand times worse and used the crisis to make the USA a full-on police state. Trump is the better choice by far.
Economic reality is soon going to give your nice little lifestyle a kicking anyway BiM. Trump is still the choice to make things less worse than The Kill would have done.
So bad is the economic state of the world that may be the best that can be hoped for for now.

C’mon man – the only difference between Trump and Clinton is that Clinton already has a track record of doing the shit you’re scared Trump will do. The shit Trump won’t get to do because this time around even his own party can’t stand him so the Republican control of both the House and Senate is neutered.
If we’re lucky, all of us in the United States will enjoy 4 years of a government that can’t accomplish a single damn thing. For nearly half a decade the ratchet won’t tighten.

BiND,
Richard Wolfe was writing in the Guardian about how liberals, lawmakers and judges must resist and challenge Trump at every single chance and turn. When it was Obama in the hot seat, any challenge was labelled racism.
