In absolute terms if he can make America richer by making Europe poorer then that is his job
Er, no. It isn’t, since trade is mutually beneficial and mercantilism is dribble. The US got very much richer from 1900 to 2000, but it didn’t result in Europe getting poorer. Far from it – we benefited from the goods and services we had to sell far more than we ever profited from being Top Nation globally.
Why would the BBC need to offer ‘Survival Tips’? It’s not like it’s Aleppo. Also, everyone who was still alive post-results has, by definition, survived — without the Beeb’s help.
I do like the turn of phrase of their tame psychiatrist, James Oliver (not to be confused with the psychiatrist Oliver James, nor with the other James Oliver): “Find me a leader who wasn’t a few sandwiches short of a picnic.” Now that does resonate! He goes on to suggest doing whatever relaxes you (yes, sex is officially sanctioned). Best of all is his closing comment: “But what’s going to solve it is truly grasping you’re making a big mistake in having really believed that you know what’s best.” Wow! Kudos for perspicacity. (We’ll just have to overlook the fact that he’s a man and, for all I know, a white one at that.)
Even if the sane ones didn’t exit the Calexit themselves…
As long as they stay away from your state, though, amirite?
in favour of a more compliant voter base, one imported wholesale by the left
Jonathan’s chart of California demographic change is a perfect illustration. The white population has drastically increased since WWII (when the percentage begins its precipitous decline), but has been overwhelmed by massive Hispanic immigration from Mexico – most of it illegal aliens and their automatic-citizen children.
Oh, that’s right, “illegal alien” has been banned from public discourse. Hell, I’m not even sure “undocumented migrant” is still permissible. I guess I’m off to the correction booth, and likely to remain there for some time…
I must have missed the joyous celebrations amongst these womenfolk when Theresa May got appointed PM.

In Canada a woman running for leadership of the Conservative Party, Dr. Kellie Leitch, went public praising Trump’s victory and has called for screening of immigrants for Canadian values.
They’re not happy.
But, Lancastrian Oik if the Left did *any* of that they’d be individualists, instead of collectivists, now wouldn’t they? And, once you place primacy on individual rights and responsibilities, one loses the ability to blame “men” or “whites” for the problems of women and minorities. And, once you’re there, the entire edifice of graft and corruption that undergirds the Left collapses.

I know, and agree completely. Trade enriches.
The point I was trying (and failing) to make was that even if it didn’t he would still be ‘right’ by the terms of his job to do it. Most people simply do not appear to understand what the President of the United States of America’s job is supposed to be.
It’s to make life better for Americans. Period.
Whatever he does to bring that about, that is not illegal, or breaks existing international treaties, is good for Americans.
It matters not one jot what Italians, Germans, Mexicans, or Guardian readers think about it.
If it comes down to a choice between Americans winning, and somebody else losing, Trump will pick the first choice. It’s a long time since has been a president you could be certain would make that choice. Right or wrong is beside the point. It’s his job.
Well, Adams did manage to predict a Trump victory, so points for that; then again, he was also predicting a Trump landslide, which Tuesday’s result wasn’t really.
Ayup. I was rather preferring to indeed get a genuine margin, from somebody, the better to avoid the numbers of what the UK will keep thrashing through with Brexit. At least with the election, as noted with Brexit, the issue is that an office is about to be empty, someone has to get picked for that office, that pick is done, and happily unlike Brexit, everything is moving forward from there.
Again comparing with Brexit, the closest to a complicating bit is that various reports state that the actual electorate was one half not voting, one quarter for Trump, one quarter for Clinton, some fragments for the others. Trump is in, but that one quarter is not a majority.
. . . of course, to pick out one occurrence that will be just like the first time around, Trump is already getting noted as being a mirror clone of Obama for the ideological fantasists . . . Obama was the conservative winner that the left wing liberals then bitched about, Trump is the conservative winner that the right wing liberals have already been bitching about.
As long as they stay away from your state, though, amirite?
Actually, the sane ones, I couldn’t care less if they moved here, there are quite a few here already who escaped the insanity there. I was, however unartfully, referring to the sane one who want to stay there and form their own state out of northern California counties.
There are those who also advocate for breaking California into six states.
Heh.
. . . and very cute . . .
He’s busy having some red velvet curtains made into a cloak. And you should see the bling
I hear Agamotto is in this year.
I’m vaguely concerned that I might be a sadist. All the footage of the little SJW darlings crying into their latte’s only makes me want to laugh….

Hi RoG.
Yes, I agree. I think the original poster was writing more in hope than expectation, because the Left are too far down the road with this.
Here is Tim Worstall responding to an Owen Jones piece in The Guardian on a similar point.
As Crowder puts it, people have had enough of being called racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.
The bit at 2:32 made laugh, but is probably NSFW.
Any bets on how many of these alleged hate crimes will turn out to be completely fictitious:

Somewhere in the order of 101%, with a 1% margin for error
Spiny Norman – Oh, the usual idiots on social media (Reddit, Facebook, Tumblr, et al) are claiming that since the Hildabeast “won” the popular vote by whopping 0.2%, Trump is “illegitimate” and should not be US President.
Yes, I’ve seen a lot of people trying to take comfort in that, throwing that meme at the wall and seeing if it sticks.
(We should keep this at the ready for when Laurie Penny jumps on the bandwagon.)
This is why the Donald, if he’s got half a brain, ought to have the election gone over with a fine-toothed comb for fraud. It was always said that he’d need not only to win, but to win bigger than the margin of fraud and lawfare. The more fraud is proved, the more votes for Hillary are invalidated; he can nip that meme of illegitimacy in the bud.
Not to mention, it ought to be done on its own merits, for the basic reason of justice. With all the good feelings from the schadenfreude, I’m allowing myself some optimism.

Dr Chinstrap,
Sometimes the special snowflakes just can’t help themselves and need the “reporters” to remind them to keep it under wraps:

What the hell is wrong with these people?
the level of outrage we’ve seen today – the indignation, bewilderment and various online meltdowns – implies both parochialism and a sense of entitlement. Which takes us full circle, I think.
Tolerant lefties being tolerant:

What the hell is wrong with these people?
Yes, it’s a strange thing to behold. Though it’s apparently quite fashionable.
I mean, it’s one thing to believe self-flattering lies – that voting for a candidate, and Clinton in particular, somehow makes you virtuous and lofty – but to fabricate non-existent assaults in the service of that narrative, that supposed virtue, thereby wasting police time, and thereby diverting resources from where they may be needed, suggests a deep, possible unfixable, personal pathology.
Tolerant lefties being tolerant
And yet they wonder how he won.
Stuck-Record
Yeah – you make a fair point. I also think Trump’s attitude to Nato – that European’s should stop freeloading and spend some money on their own defence – is reasonable as far as it goes.
Not enthused about a US-China trade war though.
Er, Europeans, obviously
Tim Newman has more:
People who need to imagine themselves as angels, as being righteous and elevated because they’re lefties, will also need to pretend that there are demons everywhere. Their self-imagined virtue depends on it.
Heartless monsters that you are, this one may amuse.
And do scroll down for a further twist.
Though not everyone is seeing the funny side.
Gad Saad on the collective Munchausen bandwagon.
Note there is no attempt to understand the opposition, to reflect on why their labelling everyone with whom they disagreed as a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. didn’t bring them the electoral success they were so sure of. Instead they’re just repeating what they said throughout the campaign, only now from a losing position.
A friend sent me an image (I’m sure you’ve all seen it} of a map of the USA in which “USA” is indicated by a few blue patches west and east. The remainder of the map is coloured red and labeled “Dumbfuckistan”.
I tried to explain, gently, that in four years’ time, they’ll have to discourage those people in the red regions not to re-elect Trump, and calling them all dumb fucks, uniformly and without qualification, was probably not the best place to start.
Somehow, I don’t think my words were taken with good grace. Ho hum.
Richard Dawkins:
“The two largest nations in the English-speaking world have just suffered catastrophes at the hands of voters — in both cases the uneducated, anti-intellectual portion of voters.”
Nope, doesn’t look like they are learning anything yet.

Vanity trumps realism, for a certain type of person.
Horace, and other people stating similar on FB, inspired me to peruse my FB friends to see how many were one way or the other as to HRC or DJT or Unknown or Third Party declarations. Came up with 49 Trumpers, 21 Clintonians, 67 Undecideds, and 3 Turd Partiers. Also, sadly three were now deceased. So out of 21 Clintonites, I have had a bad friendship experience just one of them, which occurred just this morning. Curious how reflective that might be in general. I’m rather unbalanced 49-21 but in context, that’s less than 5% of my HRC fans.
“suffered catastrophes at the hands of voters”
And as a result, we must temporarily suspend democracy while we sort things out. OK? Now, bend over.
“Turd Partiers”
I don’t want to know what that is.
The Left, who have for more than a century claimed to be championing the rights and dignity of the working classes, once again puts their loathing and sneering contempt for the working classes on public display.
All wondrous to behold, but you know it only really gets going when they turn on their own. And so I give you my favourite:
“You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy.”
Who knew climate forecasting was so precise?
This.

Dear Sir,
For over two days I have had a full-on schadenboner. I am not sure what to do.
Should I present myself to the ever-lengthening queue to the Correction Booth, or should I just drink another beer and open more popcorn?

Regarding all those precocious, defiantly leftist eight-year-olds we hear so much about, a new term has been coined: Trumphausen by proxy, i.e., “When parents instil in their children irrational fears to garner sympathy and attention for themselves.” Or as Ace puts it, “Your child freaking out over a completely valid election result has nothing to do with me, with ‘hate’, or with America being an awful place. No, it has everything to do with your own emotionally instability and terrible parenting.”
Post election update:
. . . and other notes.
Regarding all those precocious, defiantly leftist eight-year-olds…
Indeed, and note they are all eight year olds, not seven, not nine, every damn one is eight, that is what it makes it so believable, if by “believable” you mean the twitter was given a script.
and note they are all eight year olds, not seven, not nine,
It was a strange thing to watch spread. I’m still trying to process the psychology of it.
And speaking of leftist parenting, here’s a thing to behold.
The tweet about the eight year old comparing Trump to Caesar (I am assuming he means Julius Caesar) reminded me of the Monty Python scene in life of Brian “Alright apart from ….. What have the Romans ever done for us?”
