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.

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.

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

Good thinking.

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.

This was truly a moving piece, MM! You wrote about things I could only dream to know about, I am humbled. Mundus? Azeeoth? Telon? Where are these places?! I need to do some research it seems.

ty ^^ They exist far beyond these hallowed boards. It is said that the way to Mundus is found within the Elder Scrolls. Azeroth is a land in turmoil, where nerds engage in eternal Warcraft. And Telon, well, she was lost some years ago to the decrepit hand of her demented caretaker. A small group of disciples work tirelessly to return her to her people.

You know, I voted for Hildawg but wasn't even excited. Only reason I voted was because my wife made me drive her to vote, figured I may as well vote in the local elections too.

I gotta say though, some sore winners up in team Trump.

I am truly enlightened. Thank you!
