DORÉ

watched the results at a friend’s apartment until we couldn’t take it anymore. took a cab home, and barely made it in the door before i collapsed in tears on the living room floor. it took several days for sadness to turn into anger, but i’m glad that’s happened because at least i can turn anger into action.

I live in Canada and started the evening alternating between Netflix and NY Times updates and live feed figuring it was a done deal, that Hillary would win….then when things started going sideways I lay with the laptop on my stomach lying in bed and switched to Twitter feeds, I don’t have a Twitter account but reading others feeds is the best way to gauge what others are feeling…it was a slow dawning of realization of what was happening, I couldn’t actually digest it. I stayed awake until 3 a.m. west coast time and had to take a sleeping pill to finally pass out. I didn’t cry, I was simply and utterly stunned, I guess I still am.

Haha this was enjoyable, even through all the crying. I did much the same as all of you though I didn’t think of the gummy bears. There will be plenty of need for comforting candy in the coming 4 years, though.

I am Spanish and living in London. When I woke up and saw the results it kind of felt like the morning after the Brexit vote happened, nothing made sense anymore, I felt numb. I just felt a huge wave of sadness, of not understanding – we must have missed something very big in order for people like these to have won their respective votes. I felt huge dislike towards our society, one that supports people who are disrespectful, racist, promote aggression and stand for everything that makes humans horrible at times. I felt very sorry for you guys, and am hoping that we can keep it together for the required time and amend our mistakes on the next election. Sending you all my support.

Cried at 1:30a. Cried at 2:00a. Tried to fall asleep while trying to comprehend what just happened. Just kept thinking, this feels so wrong. Fell asleep at 4:30a. Woke up at 6:30a. Cried some more.

Je suis anesthesiee…….Lorsque je le vois a la TV, j’ai l’impression d’etre dans un cauchemar dont je vais me reveiller. Incomprehension totale…..

Why is everyone crying? I don’t understand. We went through the process. We had an overload of information coming out on both candidates. We heard Hillary slammed on FOX and Trump slammed everywhere else. We have newspapers, news programs, and internet from every corner of the planet. The bottom line is that “The Donald” won the election. Every one who could’ve voted, should’ve voted.. I spoke to many people who refused to vote. They thought both candidates were akin to the devil himself and could not trust either one. In the end, the Trump supporters came out and stood behind their man. Don’t cry, and don’t give up hope. Do what is right and true. Be generous and loving and think of other’s before yourself. Put your negative feelings aside and live your life to make a positive difference in your community. Be a light in your world.

I didn’ cry, but I did feel like I had been punched in the stomach. I am so disappointed in the electoral college, and embarrassed we have a man like him representing our country.

Went to a protest and cried with an activist I just met. She gave me a hug.
