As midnight approached and a series of swing states turned red...Cornellians expressed horror that Donald Trump could actually become president.
“How the **** is he winning? What the ****?” said a student early on in the night... as Trump took the state of Ohio.
“We should’ve died in 2012 while we still had the chance,” added Mitch Laski, echoing several students who said they fear a Trump presidency will be the end of equal rights for minorities and free speech in the United States.
Shayra Kamal said she is genuinely concerned about her future in the United States.
“I’m looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now, so I can deport myself ...” she said. “Liberty and freedom are dead.”
Prof. Elizabeth Sanders...called the results of the election “stunning.”
“How could this happen?” she asked. “Clinton outspent him two to one, had a united party and abundant help from the president, first lady, vice president...Bernie Sanders and scores of political and cultural celebrities, in addition to the best ground game money could buy.”
Carolyn Spencer, who said she voted for Clinton, was taken aback by the outpouring of support for Trump, especially because she said “around campus there’s been a lot of support” for Clinton.
As the night wound down, in Facebook posts and other social media, Cornellians began to share their condolences for female and minority friends, saying that Trump’s election to the presidency gives implicit permission for others to adopt “horrible” stances he has endorsed.
“I feel as if many of my peers are in shock — at a time that is so critical to our identity development, this invalidates who we are,” said Dustin Liu. “Many feel this as a personal attack... how we can support one another in the days moving forward.”

Don Cornelius?
The end of equal rights and free speech?
Are they really that stupid?
Good. They can leave and find somewhere better to live.
Can’t believe I was born in that town, LOL!
I have a degree from there. Campus is full of just horrible people. The spoiled, clueless, cloistered offspring of wealthy globalists. In their defense, they’ve been lied to their entire lives.
Yes, they are.
It’s Cornell.
Are they really that stupid?
They're precious collegiate snowflakes who grew up in 'safe spaces' with 'trigger warnings,' so, yes.
It would appear that, since they opened their mouths, they are that stupid.
We can start a gofundme page for people like her.
It's already paying off! He told us this would happen-self-deportation.
These people are insane. Just like some conservatives say it is over if a liberal wins, liberals will say slavery would come back because a Republican wins.
Hints of snowflake suicide and self-deportation. Go for it, snowflakes!
And what’s with Dustin? Is he a toddler or something?
“We should’ve died in 2012 when we had the chance”.Well Mitch,today is a good day too.
LOL, nothing better than snowflake and buttercup histrionics in the morning. How delicious!
“[Trump will] end free speech in the United States.”
So sayeth the campus liberals who have suppressed free speech for decades without a hint of irony.
As they say, a, fish doesn’t know he’s swimming in water...and campus liberals don’t know they are living in the cloistered parts of America that totally suppress free speech. As a test, just try to stand on any corner of the Cornel campus and say you support the rights of innocent babies in the womb.
Yes.
The equal rights bathroom issued may get kicked to the door.
“I’m looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now, so I can deport myself ...” she said.
If you are here illegally, get on the next plane. If you are here legally, don't overstay your visa. Oh heck, get on the next plane anyhow.
Hey, whinies, no one is making you stay here. There’s the door. Use it.
