What has come as a massive shock to not only the United States, but the rest of world is the poignant fact that Donald J. Trump has been elected as the nation’s 45th president. After securing 290 of the 270 electoral votes required, Trump’s triumph is official, despite Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote. So, if you’re not sure how to express your grief, let these tweets do the talking for you.
If you're not anxious, scared for your/your family's well being right now, you have privilege . There's no other way to put it.

What's even more demoralizing is knowing how hard Hillary's worked and how qualified she is, and yet… And every woman knows this feeling.

If you voted Trump, make sure you explain to your LGBT, female, black, Latino, Muslim friends why they don't matter to you.

Tradition over truth, arrogance over info, Fame over decency, white male power over, everything. Being horrible is a culture. #ElectionNight
