This is a bizarre fever dream. Like we are seriously going to wake up tomorrow to "President Trump." Think about it.

That's not as weird as First Lady Milania for some reason.

Playing around with the electoral map, we could have a 270-268 split if Hillary takes Iowa, Michigan, and Nevada and Trump takes New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and picks up the extra electors in Maine and Nebraska. That's...basically the best I can do for Hillary.

White rural America are angry that they are being left behind and don't know what to do, so they get suckered by right-wing sweet talk that all their ailments will disappear if only if it weren't for the minorities and liberals.

They are brainwashed to reject all outside points of viewpoint that isn't from talk radio, right-wing media, or Fox News.

I don't know how you can fix that. This country isn't going to move forward until that situation breaks, and I don't know how that can be done.

Any ideas?

Gonna go watch a movie. Unfortunately I've moved over to the dark side and now think Trump is gonna win. I was clinging for a long time but it looks pretty bleak at the moment. I'll check back in a few hours to see who won and make my relief post or my America is fucked posted.
