This is worse than 2016. Everything was a hypothetical back then. People know what they're voting for this time.

As a veteran, I’m honestly disgusted by my fellow Americans, and slightly mad at myself for putting my life on the line for people who don’t seem to care about me, my daughter, nor my wife. We have decided that the entertainment value of Trump is worth more than our standing in the world and our previously touted morals.

As a kid I always wondered how Germany could turn so quickly after World War 1. I underestimated people’s ability to see what they want rather than listen to what the man says.

Love how the whole reel was "This is what we need to do" 4 years later... "So we did the opposite and won"

[MotivationExceeds]

From authocratic Kazakhstan there. Seeing so many Americans willingly trying to give up on freedom while we are still fighting to earn it is just so demoralizing.

[Val-nh]

Well, one thing is for sure. Endorsements mean nothing. Facts mean nothing ignorance is the greatest weapon against reason and self-determination.

“It is easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.”

-Mark Twain

[Immanuel.Buchholz]

A wise guy once said:
"And out of the chaos, a voice spoke to me: 'Smile and be happy, it could be worse!' And I smiled and was happy and it got worse."

[LakotaBear]

All those red southern states - I don’t want to hear any more whining about abortion bans. Florida retirees - when you lose your social security and Medicare, your cushy little retirement homes will go away as well. You wanted him, you got him. Hope you’re proud.

I NEED TO ADD AN APOLOGY TO THIS POST. IT WAS UNFAIR AND WRONG OF ME FOR MAKING AN ALL INCLUSIVE STATEMENT. (11-8-24)

[Sogladhelovesme]

What is wrong with America? My heart breaks! It shouldn’t be this close!

[airotheknee]

"So this is how democracy dies. With thunderous applause."

-Padme Amidala

[JuanDelaCruz-xy]

"This is not the end"- and this is the new message.

My two teens were waiting on tonight’s election to determine if they would pursue military service next year. As I did for 32 years. They will not. They do not trust Trump as Commander in Chief. And they are ashamed of their country & do not want to defend its values. I have settled in Europe for retirement. They will remain here & pursue careers as EU residents. So sad for kids who grew up on Obama.

[mrens]

I'm going numb right now. I cannot believe this man has been given our highest office TWICE. This is despicable. I truly do not understand America, I do not understand my country.

[stevedizzle]

Being a former Marine, I was taught to lead with integrity and honor, and I can't look at this country the same way after tonight. Trump never should have been allowed to run. We just showed the world that it's ok to be a bully, liar, con man, etc and still be awarded the chance to run for president. Unbelievable!!!

[barbaralyons]

I will follow you as usual through the next 4 years. Please help me live through it.

[GhostBear]

I love you Jon but you are WRONG this time. After all that Trump has said and done, the fact that so many people are still willing to vote for him shows just how lost we are as a country.

[JessicaMiller-pcdj]

I'm so sorry for those who were let down by this election - I'm truly gutted for you. Sending best wishes from the UK.

[razzledazzle]

This might be the push we needed to act. Don’t fade out, organize your communities and protect those closest to you (emotionally and physically, our neighbors are assets)

[WeAreNotGoingBackEver]

I'm so disappointed in the citizens of this country.
