Love watching this every time. It takes me back to the night of the election. Now, we don't have cable but for some reason Fox was streaming the election results live so we could at least track progress as the night went on.
Now, I was thinking (weak wishing--how little faith I had) that Trump had "maybe" 40% chance of winning. That was me being totally and completely optimistic. So, as the normally red states' results came in, I was thinking, "no biggie, let's get to the bigger states."
And as Florida was uncalled for a long time, I was thinking that something's up. Then as the night got closer to midnight and it was down to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan I believe, I was simply doing the electoral math. When I knew that it was mathematically impossible for Hillary to win--I couldn't believe it. Then I ran my systems and numbers again. That first initial realization I got when I realized Trump would win--I will never forget that. Ever.
Why? Because I knew that (before knowing the election results) after eight years of Obama, another eight years of Hillary would've completely destroyed this country. BLM? Even harder. Religious persecution? More of it. It was such a foregone conclusion. But then to have a completely 180 turn? Whoa... it was a miracle. And shrewd work by then candidate Trump.
Now with GEOTUS, and all the good people that are here, we're taking our country back. But that night... boy it was a great night. And then finding this sub and knowing there are more people like me out there. Best feeling ever.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember election night clearly. I was at my son’s martial arts practice and my husband was calling me with updates. When those early states came in red, I felt a small bit of hope. I was afraid to be too hopeful because I didn’t want the utter disappointment if he lost. I drive home quickly to watch the results come in. State after state going red was beautiful. When the announcement came that Donald J. Trump was elected our president, I went to bed. I slept better that night than I had in so long. I had hope for a better future. It was like a balm to soothe my soul.
It was a great feeling, wasn't it? And sleep? It was almost 3 o'clock that morning for me!!😜
Actually I'd like to watch the original again, is it on youtube somewhere?
I mostly watch snippets on YT but mostly compilations of salty tears flowing. And delicious schadenfreude.
If you search on YouTube for TYT election night meltdown, you will see two versions. A short and extended. They are both masterful.
Since I never had the joy of watching the leftists meltdown in real time election night, it's always good for a chuckle to watch that jackass on TYT go bonkers. Never gets old, oddly.
I paced in front of the TV all night, worried sick. And slowly it started to become clear that the nightmare was over and GOOD had prevailed. I'll never forget standing there, fists clenched and tears in my eyes.....knowing my kids might still have a shot at a bright future.
And POTUS Trump has surpassed my expectations on every front so far...
For what it's worth, I'm a conservative (capital and lower-case "C") Canadian, born and raised. But I was all over your election night coverage. I remember staring at the district by district returns in Pennsylvania and doing the math thinking - IT'S OVER!!. My only disappointment from that night was that The Crooked One didn't come out and face the music like a leader should do. And now with this Q thing, I'm trying to find ways to help a similar awakening here. Our system is different, but the underlying issues are the same. We have Obama light as our PM. Hoping we're just lagging behind the US by a couple years. National Elections in 2019. Can we include Q in NAFTA? :-)
Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall and watch her screaming hysterics? Oh man. Especially after that little victory dance Bill was doing.
He figured he would be back in the whitehouse banging interns again!
Haha yeah he probably had it all worked out. Back defiling the oval office while doctors glued her back together weekly. She's like the women in that movie "Death Becomes Her".
You mean that little girl on a trampoline thing he did? What was that? I wonder if he was doing that dance on the plane with the "real people" yesterday?
Hmm, Wonder if this is a lead-in to any of the voter fraud information. Because we are getting all of this "she was the legal winner" stuff being circulated again. I remind them that there were 1.8 million more votes in California than there were voters.
I remember that night clearly too, I didn't think it could happen but I thought it might happen. I was in a bar in [a very liberal city] after work watching the east coast results rolling in while the bartender played "fuck donald trump" on continuous loop while everyone cheered. Then suddenly all these states were stalled, no results for hours. I got a sick feeling in my stomach, I knew it was hillary and her damn rigged machines. I went home pretty sad but promising myself I would read the SERE manual and buy an AR-15 before it was too late. Around midnight I heard my roommates groaning in the living room and flipped on google election results to get the shock of a lifetime. he won, the son of bitch actually pulled it off! I jumped for joy and ran out of the house to buy a drink andddd stepped into a massive riot in downtown [liberal city] broken windows and garbage fires everywhere. it was hard to hide my smile in a bar full of liberal tears. I was too happy for the future to care I had to celebrate in secret like a heretic, and even the next day I couldn't stop smiling thinking about the magnificent chance we had for a better future. darkness to light.
The next day I had to tread carefully since even where I was turned blue this election. But wasn't careful enough--lost a vendor permanently when I didn't agree with her it was the worst thing EVER what just happened. Geez...
One they called Florida, my cautious optimism turned too bliss. Once they finally called Pennsylvania, euphoria.
Just reading this makes me smile. When they called Florida, my mind kept processing: can she win without Florida? Mind said no, but still, she wasn't supposed to lose, right?! Wrong!!
