    I figured that the more outlandish responses to Trump's victory deserved it's own thread, here is my find to kick it off:

    As Donald Trump's shock election victory reverberated around Silicon Valley late on Tuesday night, some high-profile technologists were already calling for California to secede from the United States. The broader west coast is a stronghold for the Democrats, and significantly more politically progressive and racially diverse than large swathes of central U.S. California is also the biggest economy in the U.S. and the sixth largest in the world with a gross state product of $2.496 trillion for 2015, according to the IMF. The campaign for independence -- variously dubbed Calexit, Califrexit and Caleavefornia -- has been regarded as a fringe movement. But support was revitalized by influential Uber investor and Hyperloop co-founder Shervin Pishevar, in a series of tweets announcing his plans to fund a "legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation" -- posted even before the full results were in. A few hours later, Hillary Clinton conceded the election to Trump, and Pishevar told CNBC that he was serious about Calexit. "It's the most patriotic thing I can do," he said, adding that the resulting nation would be called New California. "We can re-enter the union after California becomes a nation. As the sixth largest economy in the world, the economic engine of the nation and provider of a large percentage of the federal budget, California carries a lot of weight," he said. Pishevar was supported by others in Silicon Valley. Angel investor Jason Calacanis said that California succession would be simple in the wake of both Brexit and a Trump win. Evan Low, a Democrat serving in the California state assembly, said that he'd support the introduction of a bill to start the independence process. The proposal illustrates the technology industry's frustration with Trump over his repeated criticisms of Silicon Valley companies.

    What these idiots don't understand they are stooges for the globalist ass-hole George Soros. What they also don't understand is without these idiots, Trump would not have been nominated to the Republican candidate let alone elected president.

    The Democrat Party is dying before our eyes. Beyond the national election, Democrats in lower positions such as mayor have been voted out all over the country. I heard a number earlier on talk radio of some 600 such changes across the country. Their well oiled machine is breaking down and falling apart. Distrust of the "mainstream media" sits around 92%. There is now a movement of so called Trump Democrats, which will probably end up abandoning the Democrat Party entirely now. Through Wikileaks, Project Veritas and others the veil has been lifted. We've seen behind the curtain on who is really in control. This is the death throes.

    Among the things they don't understand (but the Republican party does) is that the country has elected a Democrat president.

    This just shows how {bleep} stupid these people are, the ones not direct paid for by Soros that is. Trump has stated, in a very high profile way, he has no problem with men using women's bathrooms, yet the so called LGBTQ Community is attacking him as a homophobe? I'm really starting to believe the conspiracy theories about vaccines and chemtrails being used to dumb down the population. How else could so many people be so {bleep} stupid?

    If the Democrats really must blame sexist people for why they lost the election, they could look at Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Just sayin'...

    The Left Just Compared Donald Trump’s Election To 9/11

    We all knew they were one sandwich shy a picnic. We all knew they had unlimited hypocrisy and a propensity for violence when thwarted. But there are limits to what humans should be allowed to say. Clara Jeffrey, not to be confused with Clara the Cow though you would be forgiven the error, the editor of Mother Jones weighed in on the election:
