I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.

But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.

I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man

No it won't. The bullshit will continue with all the election denialism, the rhetoric and violence. Not to mention an the Republican state governors that will fuck shit up.

It ain't over.

That bullshit will continue, but the obsession of the upcoming election will die down. For those of us who are interested in politics, it will remain an active time; for the majority of people, and thus the constant, annoying buzz of election articles on here, it'll be over.

i dunno... one thing about trump: he's basically guaranteed ratings for the media--ALL of it. and he's pretty much a bottomless supply of absolutely apeshit bonkers headlines which will probably only increase regardless of the outcome of tomorrow
