Efter en valrysare under natten stod det på onsdagsmorgonen klart att republikanen Donald Trump är USA:s nästa president. Hillary Clinton förlorade ett antal så kallade “nyckelstater” vilket gjorde att miljardären, entreprenören och dokusåpa-profilen, med sin högerpopulistiska konservativa och protektionistiska agenda, tog hem viktiga elektorsröster för att vid 02-tiden på natten lokal tid hålla segertal i New York.

I am disappointed, shocked and shaken at my core by what has transpired tonight. I gathered around the TV with my family and loved ones, ready to celebrate history being made. My daughter had this little blue dress on. I was ready to pop the Martinelli's and hold her, watching Hilary Clinton become the first female president of the United States of America. But…It didn't happen. I had a sick feeling in my gut, riddled with anxiety as the polls started coming in. After hours of a growing pit in my stomach, it was over. I left the TV, grabbed my daughter and took her to bed. But now, as I'm laying next to my her as she sleeps, I remember. Remember what I have control over and what I don't. I don't have control over Donald Trump becoming president. That has been decided. But what I do have control over is where I go from here. I will teach my daughter to love. All people, regardless of the color of their skin, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or where their birth certificate says they're from. I will teach her how important it is to be an advocate for humanity. Not just the portion of humanity that benefits her. I will teach her non violent communication. That in the face of hatred we must love each other even harder. Not give in. Not get discouraged or feel like our progress in the past is void. Keeping fighting for all of us, with an emphasis on those that and have been the most affected by systemic oppression. I will teach her that when she is silent during moments of injustice, she is siding with the oppressor. I will teach her that walls divide people, and by their nature cannot bring us closer. And that just because someone holds the most powerful position in the world, does not make that person right, just or fair. Donald Trump is not raising my daughter. I am. I get to encourage and nurture her to be who she wants to be. Teach her that her voice and actions can change the world. Teach her that she can do anything that a man can do. And one day, even become president of the United States of America. I have work to do. It starts now. And that work is the only thing bringing me peace at the moment

My 8 year old daughter is a Black, Latina Muslim. She’ll wake up tomorrow knowing more than half of her countrymen bet their future on him.

I went on record many many times this entire year saying TRUMP had NO CHANCE. I would’ve bet the house on a TRUMP loss. Yup! I’m an idiot.

We sorry guys…I swear on my life,If I could’ve done more I would’ve. We all deserve better. We just gotta live through this&prepare ourselves for what’s next. We appreciate what you guys tried to do for US ALL as a nation. Unfortunately we weren’t ALL ready for the change you wanted to bring about. Still, we love you & appreciate you for the HOPE your gave our community. We’ll miss y’all!!!! But Unfortunately, it seems like we’ve been brought back to a worse place than we were in before. In your honor we’ll remain honorable,respectable & continue to strive for greatness. I’ll never let our dream die!!! WE CAN STILL DO IT!!!!

Someone just sent me this meme. lol They making memes already?!? I obviously have alway felt that the government controls a lot about our lives. But how do you feel about the election. The blame game will begin now, but unfortunate Hillary doesn’t have anyone to blame but herself. She blocked a game winning shot to try and make the basket herself and her team lost. The DNC pushed a candidate the elite establishment wanted but he vast majority of the people did not. ? The RNC had the opposite, a candidate the establishment hated but that the base wanted. No matter what he said, as offensive as it was, even his supporters admitted it was racist but they didn’t care. KKK endorsement. Nothing swayed them, they saw it all as the elites attacking them. Sanders being robbed, the emails exposing the way he was cheated, how corrupt things were, the base did not support her. Now we are left with Greg Stillson as president. But voting I have always said is not and never should be the end all be all. It is just one tool. Now we have to organize. Now I have to release The Middle Passage in 2017 (14-16 songs being mixed now, if I call you for something pick up. We got work to do!) How do you feel about the election? #ImmortalTechnique #Voting #Sanders #trump #clinton #teatime #usa Is it all a sham? What are your biggest concerns?
