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.”

“Just like some conservatives say it is over if a liberal wins, liberals will say slavery would come back because a Republican wins.”
Except that no Republican advocates slavery, while the promises and actions of Democrats actually justify our worst fears.
She went to war with The Deplorables. In retrospect not a good move.
‘Upset’ is language of the ongoing narrative perpetuated by the media. The only ‘upset’ is that they were unable to shape the election. We must resist believing that it was anything other than the will of the people that a duplicitous media failed to acknowledge and report on.
In life there is just no cure for stupid.
I don't know... ask Jeb
Bunch of drama queens.
There is an evil sickness at Cornell.
Blame you bloody leftist lying media and your violent leftist ways you whoresons & daughters!
When you fail to be a free press, when you allow campaign operatives to commit violence, and supporters to beat up the supporters of the opposition, you get secrecy. You get misinformation.
You fail in your jobs as journalists, pollsters etc.
Miserable boobs! You did this to yourselves!
So to the Social Justice Warriors at Cornell, Equal Rights means if you are black, Hispanic, female or Gay you should be large and in charge, while free speech means you white people, Christians and conservatives sit down and shut up.
That's what they mean.

“I’m looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now, so I can deport myself ...” she said. “Liberty and freedom are dead.”....
Tut, tut now Ms Kamal, check your third world privilege.
Flights back? Blatant cultural appropriation. Only the prophet had a flying horse. Best start teaching your camel to swim ASAP as winter is coming on. Your iPhone and other electronics...just leave them with the TSA, if you would. bu-bye.
““I’m looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now, so I can deport myself ...” she said. “Liberty and freedom are dead.””

She's got everything upside down, which is typical liberal illogic. I hope she goes back and stays there. She's the problem, not the solution.
Not even what they say, but what they do. Hillary and Obama threw a guy in prison over Benghazi. Have they ever proven he gave direct orders for the embassy terrorist attack? If not, what other innocent people can Hillary scapegoat over terrorism if in office. Plus, her saying “What Difference Does it Make?” I just don’t trust her. Plus, she’s above the rules that would get me fired or in jail.
“Are they really that stupid?”
Yes, they really are.
I love the smell of burning snowflakes in the morning.
Ah, Cornell/Ithaca, the oblivious island in flyover country. I live an hour away in the midst of family farms and Amish. They don’t know we exist.
Today, can they hear the people sing?
