I can only speak for myself but I've been clicking flag on anything election related including this. I think both the candidates were bad in their own ways. Hillary an ethically challenged war hawk who as secretary of state brought US Russian relations to the lowest point since the cold war. Trump is crude, unapologetic and his greatest skill is self promotion.
It was pretty clear to any one that bothered to pay attention that the election was very close, either way neither outcome was going to be positive. People predicting the end of civilization because Trump was elected are totally divorced from reality and not thinking rationally. That kind of fear mongering is dangerous and unwarranted. If you want to participate in that there are many many websites you can go to to get your fill personally I'm tired of seeing it and don't think it has any place on this site not to mention political stuff is off topic per HN guidelines.
- tptacek 10y agoI appreciate you doing this. I haven't been as zealous lately because I'm shellshocked by the week, and as a result I've been at least once sucked into a political thread that wasted a bunch of my time.
