On Monday, the news came in that President-elect Donald Trump won the Electoral College vote. We were hoping enough electors would turn their back on Trump and flip their vote, but they didn’t.
People took to Twitter to express what they were feeling about this news.
Some were angry or sad:
It has been proven that Russia interfered in the US election and so did FBI. How can the Electoral College vote for Trump?

No matter what the Trumpkins think, Clinton won the popular vote:
In reference to the electoral college vote today. Let us not forget this fact.

Some tried to blame us liberals for the conflict and deflect attention away from the Russia hacking:

Some of these people are just burying their heads in the sand and denying what happened in the election:

Trump himself had this to say about it:
We did it! Thank you to all of my great supporters, we just officially won the election (despite all of the distorted and inaccurate media).

He wasn’t so nice about the electoral college when President Obama was re-elected in 2012:

This is also an old reference, but this is so perfect:
