"As of 5:50 AM PST, Hillary has won the popular vote by about 150,000 ballots, despite losing the election. I'd like to thank all of the 5.1 million people who "voted their conscience" for a third-party candidate to smash the two-party system. Congratulations. For at least the next two years we're operating under a one-party system.
For those among the 59.1 million of you who voted for Trump to "shake things up," but didn't care about the inherently racist (and useless) promise to ban one entire religion from entering this country, the patently impossible plan to build a wall along our southern border, the pussy-grabbing, or anything else in the Whitman's Sampler of insanity that was so obviously placed in front of you, congratulations. You're about to discover this was not a drunk dial to your boss. This has consequences, you're not going to like a lot of them, and by the way, the "things" you probably most wanted to shake up are still very much in place.
For those of you who did vote for Trump because you secretly wanted to stick it to the Mexicans, the blacks, the gays, the Muslims, the Jews, and those uppity bitches, well, you can go to hell. Particularly the ones who call yourselves Christian. I don't know how you equated Donald Trump with Jesus Christ.
For the Trump voters who live in the rust belt, in economically decimated communities, or places where the recovery has passed you right over, and who believed him when he said he was going to "bring the factories back." I'm sorry. You're about to be betrayed in a very brutal way.
For those out there who couldn't make the effort to get to the polls, or didn't think it mattered, prepare choke on the four years of alt-right mania -- unwanted but not unexpected -- that will be shoved down your throat.
And for the rest of us, let's prod each other on the ways -- the very real, political ways -- we can viciously protect the social gains of the last eight years.
It's now 7:30 AM. It's too early to start drinking, but it must be happy hour somewhere."

Morning After To-Do List:
1. Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have failed us miserably.
2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn't let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must "heal the divide" and “come together.” They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.
3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn’t wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness that's about to begin.
4. Everyone must stop saying they are “stunned” and “shocked.” What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren’t paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all “You're fired!” Trump’s victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that.
5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: “HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!” The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning thinking you live in an effed-up country, you don’t. The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason he’s president is because of an arcane, insane 18th-century idea called the Electoral College. Until we change that, we’ll continue to have presidents we didn’t elect and didn’t want. You live in a country where a majority of its citizens have said they believe there’s climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men, they want a debt-free college education, they don’t want us invading countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We live in a country where the majority agree with the “liberal” position. We just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above). Let's try to get this all done by noon today. -- Michael Moore

"Germany and America are bound by common values — democracy, freedom, as well as respect for the rule of law and the dignity of each and every person, regardless of their origin, skin color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, or political views. It is based on these values that I wish to offer close cooperation, both with me personally and between our countries’ governments."

Angela Merkel, congratulating Donald Trump for his election as US President
