One thing you should remember:

[kentuck]

You are in the majority.

Your side won by almost 3 million votes. In other words, you have 3 million more people on your side than the other.

Do not feel or act as if you are in the minority.

You are not the one that needs to "get over it".

The people have spoken.

[democratisphere]

1. The people's votes speak in every "democracy" except ours.

Do as "we" say, not as "we" do. Go figure.

[enough]

2. Thanks kentuck, we will need to keep remembering this, and making sure

others do too, especially those in government.

3. one sorta funny thing about that

Clinton (all 50 states) + 2,865,075

Clinton (California) + 4,269,978

Clinton (other 49 states) (- 1,404,903)

Sadly, I think I read that we lost the Congressional vote total by 2.5 million votes.

4. Sadly you seem to think California isn't in the union. Take out the big red states and give us . . .

those figures why don't you?

[hfojvt]

5. the biggest red state is Texas

and Trump won that by a mere 800,000 votes. The total was Trump 52.2, Clinton 43.2, Johnson 3.2, Stein 0.8.

or Georgia, which Trump won by a mere 200,000 votes. 50-45-3.

The largest states by population are - California, Texas, Florida, New York, illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, Virginia.

Then Washington, Arizona, Massachusetts. All of those were pretty close, or heavily in our favor.

Tennessee, Indiana and Missouri are next, and all pretty red, but their combined population is about the same as New York (although Clinton lost the three states by about 1.7 million about the same amount that she won by in New York)

Most of the very red states are small. Even Alabama is only the 24th largest state by population.

I just think it is an interesting fact that our national majority comes entirely from one state.

[kentuck]

7. And Texas had 38 electoral votes.

Enough to put Trump over the top.

[snort]

6. Thats just out of voters who voted.

Its far from a majority. I would hope that the vast majority of ALL Americans think drumpf is an asshole. If not, then fuck it.
