When you knew Trump would win...

[Tetro Kornbluth]

First I drank. Then I went to the microphone to announce the rest of the audience at the grad watch party (who were still in denial mode) that T***p was going to win and that they'd better start dealing with it. Then I drank. Then I pestered a bunch of friends with incoherent rants about how nothing makes sense anymore. Then I drank. Then I threw up and had to be driven back home.

...yeah, I'm not proud.

I won't say that my rants made more sense than this guy's, but at least mine had genuine emotion in them.

The morning after was incredible. I remember how beautiful the morning was. It was like Dear Prudence: the sun was up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful.....

I was still sorta drunk on my walk, because I didn't quit drinking until 5:00 AM when I ran out of liquor. I smoked some reefer and set out through the FSU campus at 6:00 AM. I spent an hour on the phone with my uncle, who was already on the road in his rig bound for Jacksonville, and we both were still in shock. He actually woke up to use the bathroom just in time for Trump's victory speech. I got a text at like 3:30 AM from him that read "OMG." We were both elated. My parents are more or less apolitical, and my Grandma sleeps in to at least noon on a good day, so I had nobody to gloat with the day after.

The day after the day after, I had my first incident of post election TDS. Two girls behind me started honking at me and tailgating me through the parking lot. I slammed on the breaks and they barely avoided hitting me, and that is when I realized that I was in for a rough time.

This is truly, truly a terrible take.

In all seriousness, I have no idea what your point is.

I was at a watch party, though not the official one being held by the local field office. I had originally planned to go to the official one later in the evening but got very concerned as Virginia started to come in poorly. Celebratory drinking soured quickly after that. Some other folks in the room weren't quite so well versed in politics and began to ask me and some friends what was going on, and if everything was okay. We told them it wasn't. As Florida began to come in, we left for a bar knowing it was only going to get worse.

Stayed at the bar pretty late, amid somber compatriots, occasionally yelling at the Politico app on my phone. Coming home from the bar, I ran into an Indian-American friend from Dearborn who had also been out drinking, she hugged me, told me she felt that Michigan had betrayed her, and we cried.

I woke up the next morning and it felt like a fog. There was a literal fog that morning, but everyone seemed foggy on top of it. Strangers would look you in the eye, and you knew their pain. It was very strange.

By the time I went to bed it appeared Pennsylvania was going for Trump along with Wisconsin. Even with Michigan too close to call I knew it was over. The next morning I got up and immediately checked my phone hoping it may be something that happened overnight.

With a six and eight year old son the only thing my wife and I could do during the campaign was explain to them comma especially since I am involved in the local Republican Party, is that Donald Trump was a very rude man who said a lot of rude things. Rude words is our family phrase for when something profane unexpectedly blurts out of the TV.

We got the kids up for school the next morning and I explained to them with my wife sitting her eyes filled with tears that the rude man, mr. Trump was elected president the night before. They looked kind of worried. I explained to them we still love America, and even people we love sometimes make mistakes, and last night America made a mistake. But it does not change the fact I told them that we still love America. I've been took them outside to the flag pole in our front yard where we said the Pledge of Allegiance together to remind them that we should always love our country even when it makes decisions we disagree with. I'm sad to say my wife was so upset and heartbroken she couldn't come outside with us and recite the pledge.

It was around 6 or 7 a.m. in Germany, where I was. I stayed up all night to watch the Election. When Pennsylvania was called for Trump by the AP, I knew it was over. I was in denial until this. I felt something was very wrong when 538 didn't do their scheduled video update.

I then did a group call over Skype with a friend staying in Hong Kong who saw this when she got home from Uni, and another friend from France that had just woken up and had decided to skip his morning classes to talk about this mess. I proceeded to take a well-deserved nap.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Once Fox News called Wisconsin, I knew it was over. One of the happiest moments of my life.

I waited to pop the champagne until it was confirmed the old witch had conceded, but WI was it. Such an incredible shock!

[Reluctant Republican]

When he reached 270. I refused to believe it until then.

I'm happy he did though, but it was a bit bittersweet. I really did like Clinton. Up until maybe early 2015 I was pulling for her. This was the first election I can recall where I actually liked, more or less, both candidates. Which is a bit odd, considering both candidates are among the most hated we've had.

I subconsciously knew it when Michigan and Minnesota were declared too close to call, but I wasn't willing to admit it until the morning after the election.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

After Wisconsin was called for Drumpft, I knew this was over. I complained to a couple friends, had a good cry for like 20 mins, went to sleep, then woke up, put my big boy pants on, and carried on with life.

[Dr. MB]

Once it looked like WA, MI, and PA went for Trump all I did was think how dumb the pundits were thinking Clinton still had a chance. I watched his victory speech then went to sleep feeling pretty indifferent.

[wxtransit]

I had a small feeling that he might have been able to do it all throughout the campaign, however, I didn't really believe it. When he was ahead in Florida with 98% in is probably when I knew he would win.

About 4-5 a.m (European time)I still followed the election night coverage on CNN/Fox via Internet and had blasting Polish TV stations in my bedroom which also covered the elections and I was also active on Polish Facebook group about US politics. It was half past six in the morning, my parents were getting ready for work, I just went to kitchen for something to eat, and I saw them watching election coverage, and they asked me "What do you think about it?" (they mostly follow Polish politics), I replied "I am a bit angry and sad, because Clinton will probably lose this". I came back to my room, and started following all the stuff again. Later, on my own, I realized this election is over to Clinton, but I was still waiting for her concession speech and also for Trump for his victory speech, but the hours were passing by, and none of these candidates was showing up, so I finally (but I was not tired at all) padded down on ca. 8:30 a.m (European time).

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

I was 90% certain when all of the returns from Miami-Dade and surrounding Blue counties were totally in and Trump still had a substantial lead, plus North Carolina's margins being wider than expected. I didn't even stay up to see Wisconsin/Michigan/Pennsylvania called because I saw the writing on the wall.

Very long, cold bike ride to work the next morning. I was working in a science lab (where people were studying climate change and endangered species, among other things) and it was pretty silent the next day. Most of the women there wearing all black. We had a (pre-scheduled) department meeting where our boss told us our work was more important now than ever, which I still think is true.

You Americans can be happy that you had the chance to slowly realize and deal with Trump's win. If you live in Europe you woke up in the morning of November 9 and had to deal with a heart attack after listening to the news... 😡 �� 😰 🤒

Pennsylvania and the presidency still wasn't called by most American networks until about 3am Central time, so most had already gone to bed But I see what you mean.

[Lechasseur]

I was doing a podcast on the election so I said Trump would win once I saw Wisconsin was called for Trump. Then I continued waiting for the other states' results.

But before the East Americans went to bed, they had already recognized that the election was closed and that it could end either way.
In Europe, there hadn't been any doubt that Clinton would win.

When I saw him at 68% in West Virginia.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

I consoled myself with the idea that Trump would be the most left wing Republican on economics since the 1970's.

Now it is clear that was another lie by the Orange Clown, and he now governs economically like Bush.
