Hillary Clinton won the popular vote (over a million voters), but lost the election when the Electoral College awarded Trump ten more delegates than her.
This is the same Electoral College that Trump has been saying is "rigged" and we ought to get rid of. I think he was right.
Look what happened. When he found out that he benefited from the flawed system he decried earlier, Donny Little Hands tweeted with joy.
When Americans woke up Wednesday morning they were stunned to see that once again the popular vote was cast aside (one million voters) and the contest was decided in the controversial Electoral College.
No surprise the hashtag #NotMyPresident has been trending. Americans have once again been cheated. Bush vs Dole was the last time the majority of American votes were nullified.
No other democracy in the world has a system like ours. And ours is flawed. This election proves it once again.
So now we get the Trump era, where anything goes for rich white folks and the common man loses his voice. Middle income earners will find themselves joining the ranks of the poor.
Meanwhile the state of California is looking at succeeding from the union. It's disenfranchised voters don't want to live in Trump's America.
Californians are not ready to grab a pussy or prosecute people based upon their color or sexual preference. California has 11 million residents and could become the 33rd largest country in the world if it goes on it's own.
Trump, the Divider, hasn't even been sworn into office yet and we already have a state preparing to succeed. Imagine what the next 100 days will bring?
Americans have been cheated for too long with our flawed version of democracy.
I worry that the backlash from this election is going to turn violent, and the America that we once knew will no longer exist.
The Trump Era has begun.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
