There might not be a conservative uprising, but there is definitely a long-term repudiation of extreme liberalism, evidenced in the Dems losing the House, Senate, Governorships, and state legislatures consecutively for the better part of a decade. Dems are missing the mark if they think this election was just a blip on the radar screen. The Dems have major intrinsic cultural and policy issues that are alienating them from the majority of the electorate.
I will give them some advice for free. Start with this idea: Most Americans--REGARDLESS OF RACE--do NOT agree with coddling illegal aliens over prioritizing the quality of life of Americans. Start there and go forth. (You're welcome.)
Very well said. Democrats can't win elections by screaming "Racism" and "Misogyny" every step of the way. They have done that for 8 years, and people are tired of it.
If I had to guess, France will be the next to fall. They have some VERY legitimate issues concerning immigration and refugee policy that need addressed immediately.

Mine too. Especially the ones around the Fort McMurray area. These people had devastating loss with the fire and are now finding out their new liberal government was filled with corruption already and that their water bomber contracts had been messed with, funding played with and the very reason that so many lost so much. (I didn't know anything about this till they sent me video's and copies of e-mails.... looks like Alberta may have it's own wikki-leaks like scandal fixing to break.)
Australia and Canada are less likely to go far right because they never went far left. Europe's left wing politicians have went bat poop crazy.
Canada and Australia are more liberal than Obama or Clinton, FYI, and probably always have been. Yet, Canada would NEVER go the way of the US. They think Americans - never mind its right-wing politicians - have gone "bat poop crazy."

Canada has a different political system with 3 parties which field candidates across the country. Even with a Trump-Clinton scenario, some voters would just switch to the third party. The result would be a Minority Government which keeps its power at the whim of the other two parties.
If the government isn't co-operative, it cannot get legislation passed. The two minority parties can also decide together to trigger a new election at a time of their choosing.
No they wouldn't have. Any and every Repub mainstream candidate would've been bludgeoned at the polls. None of them would've won a single Rust Belt state outside of Indiana.
There's only Trump. That's it. No Trump, no victory. Don't get carried away. And as it turns out, Hillary was the WORST candidate for us to run against Trump in an outsider's year. The electorate didn't want a mainstream candidate.
When Trump is gone, the Republican Party is right back where it was before Trump cherrypicked the Republican Party as his vehicle to the White House. And you guys don't have another Trump to replace him. And God forbid that he blows this four year term. You'd better be praying that he doesn't.
I am praying he doesn't, but for the country's sake, not the sake of the Republican Party.
You are going to base all your viewpoints of Canada on Rob Ford?
Canada is a different country and as such doesnt have the same attitudes toward elections as noted in our federal election last year that was called and over and done with in 3 months.The USA has turned its elections into a media circus akin to a reality tv show that is never ending.
While Trump may have won the day in this US election i think the pendulum will swing the other way in 4 years when it becomes apparent Trumps promises were all bs and the country is worse off than it was before he came to power.
I'm not judging Canada, just pointing out that Canada isn't above the RUBE factor, which was what DesertDetroiter had posted. Canada is fine. I don't even think it has the same issues as the United States, having about the same population as our largest state. We have more people, and therefore more rubes.

I feel like no matter who won last week, there is a higher chance off the bat the president elect will be a one term candidate than any other president in recent memory. It really couldn't be easier to find someone more likable than Hillary or Trump for the Democrats (depending on what he does of course but I don't have high expectations). It probably be the best for the states that no matter who won they turn into a one term leader.
