Same shit in England. UKIP gathered 4 million votes which gave them 1 MP in the House of Commons.

The SNP (Scotland) got less votes and have dozens of MPs elected, all due to the way the system is.

Oh oh, I know this - Member (of) Parliament and Scottish National Party.

They both had 59 million votes and some odd change. Only difference is Hillary had a little more change. To say "the people chose Hillary" is misleading because it was pretty much 50/50.

Welcome to the Gold Plated United Trumps of Trumpmerica. Feel free to be disrespectful to women and drop N bombs like its the 50s, because apparently everyone is cool with that shit now.

I'm just glad I don't have kids. "Who's that daddy?" "That's the president, honey. He grabs strange women by the pussy and then brags about it. But don't worry, apparently all men talk like that."

Political discourse of the average mangy ape:

Balding Ape 1, "The ideology I've ceded my intellectual sovereignty to is obviously infallible and I have chosen to forego independent thought in favor of this consummate framework. I am therefore, in addition to being morally superior as virtue of this choice, intellectually superior."

Balding Ape 2, "Nay! Your embrace of false truths is blinding. It is most evident to those who have correctly embraced the opposing ideology as I have done. Your virtue is vice and your intelligence is lunacy! You are at odds with reality on all grounds."

[Sorn]

To be fair I never seen Trump drop the N bomb or say it's cool.

Nah, but he does get a lot of support from the white supremacists/neo-nazis/KKK groups. Those groups and anyone who shares their ideology will consider Trump's presence in the White House as implicit validation. They're gonna come out of the woodwork IRL (and evidently RnF trolls now feel safe in airing their trolliness outside RnF and Off Topic - really, guys?), especially once the electoral college has cast their votes officially.

People who voted for Trump might try to justify it by talking about jobs and economy, but that's like the Southerners who play off the slavery bit of the Civil War by saying it was about the ~economy~ and they are only celebrating their heritage when they wave the Confederate flag, ignoring the fact that slavery WAS the economy back then. These issues are intertwined.

In the end, the US is still struggling with a problem it's always struggled with: taking care of the lower and working class population, regardless of race or legal status. (Note: race has been used historically to divide the working class so they can't unite against the upper class. The fact that they just got a billionaire born with a silver spoon in his mouth elected means they are VERY confused at the moment...not that they had much of a choice because of the party system.)

It has nothing to do with pessimism or optimism.

Without going into theories and my opinion on why the world is awful/beautiful, let me share with you my favorite quote of all time.

So? High IQ liberals have been wrong on literally everything that matters: Keynesianism, fatphobia, regime change in the Middle East, the list goes on and on. Meanwhile people living traditionally have been right despite their inability to get a 1600 on the SAT.

There is a fundamental misconception that intelligence and knowledge are the same thing. They're not. Intelligence is innate, it cannot be acquired. Knowledge is free to all who seek it.

Honestly I didn't vote for the Lord of Hate or the Lord of Fear. I exercised my freedoms as a human being to not partake in this celebratory, wondrous event.

You weren't alone in making that choice. And that choice (to sit it out and not vote), more than any other single factor, is what decided the election.

[Lhancelot]

Just curious, what is so awful about how things will turn out, versus how they could have turned out had people like me voted?

Do you have a crystal ball that forecasts an accurate picture of the future relating to this election and how life will soon be for all the world?

Are you are a time traveler, full of elightening information to share with present day humanity?

If so, I think using the P99 server forums is the wrong place to go about spreading said knowledge. There has to be a much better medium to spread the word.

That sounds more like a statement of facts, and I would like to hear how people not voting actually decided the outcome of the election.

[eadric]

There were many factors that led to the result, but most statistical analysis thus far has shown that the largest factor was low turnout in urban areas. Many people who voted for the POTUS 4 and 8 years ago did not turn out to vote in this election. I'd provide you with links, but frankly this is getting way too detailed for a silly roleplay-lite thread, and will risk getting it moved to Off topic.

Agreed - it was pretty clear that by and large if more people turned out to vote, HRC would've stood a better chance at taking swing states like Florida & Pennsylvania, as well as Wisconsin. It could have easily turned the election.

The reasoning behind this is pretty clear too - Trump supporters all voted, more or less. Too many democrats and liberals were understandably turned off by Hillary and opted to sit this one out, or go third party, or write in Harambe, or whatever.

[Lhancelot]

Agreed - it was pretty clear that by and large if more Norrathians turned out to vote, Cazic Thule would've stood a better chance at taking swing zones like Freeport & Qeynos, as well as Rivervale. It could have easily turned the election.

The reasoning behind this is pretty clear too - Innoruuk supporters all voted, more or less. Too many ogres and trolls were understandably turned off by Cazic Thule and opted to sit this one out.

Made some changes to your statement above to keep it more in line with the true spirit of the thread.

I have to salute those who stayed home along with those who voted for our dear Prince. After 30 years of Thules occupying the Noreathian seat of power it is tine for a change. With any luck our Father will set us upon one another with such angst that the Tunnel will be filled with the mewing of pumas and clatter of decaying skeletons instead of the false advertisement of p99auctions price manipulators. Mayhap our Lord drive Norrath's economy so deeply into the ground that our Great Society stand as a shocking warning to the residents of Mundus, Azeeoth and even the lost land of Telon. May the ashes burn so fiercely from our own ruin that even too those other world burn and all is lost but for a few, a few who may begin anew. I pray nightly though to Zek that Innorruuk's hand be guided not by the whimsical fancies of Bristlebane, but the thirsting cry for victory.

May or foes fall and our coffers rise.
