So now it's official. Trump was elected as the president of the United States!
To be honest, I don't know that much about politics and I hardly get chance to talk about it with friends because I am not that into it.
The only reason I am so into this US presidential election thing right now is just because I decided to take this great opportunity to learn English.
Since I came back in Canada in September, I happened to have chance to watch the all presidential debates. As I watched those debates, I have learned a little bit of politics and the English. I didn't understand most of them, yet they were quite fun for me. Btw, last night's victory speech was very classy and decent unlike him.
I understand this election means a lot to some people. Not only people in the states but other countries including Japan.
Last night, Van Jones mentioned the white-lash. That speech was truly touched. That reminded us how important it is to think about minority rights.
As Hillary said, that wasn't the outcome they wanted or they worked so hard for, but now Trump was elected as the president.
He doesn't have any political experience but I am guessing this was the result that some Americans wanted so badly.
What I found really interesting through the election is the shy voter effect, which proved pollsters (世論調査) could be wrong sometimes.
Shy voters are people who hesitate and don't want their views publicized. Trump supports might not feel comfortable revealing their opinion so the shy voter effect happened with Trump.
Anyways, I'm very glad that I could join and witness this historic moment that a lot people are going to remember. Also I was jealous how they all got involved in this election.
As much as the election result shocked me, the news about the Canadian immigration websites crashed as Trump wins over Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election surprised me. lol

* Again: this will **not** prevent inline script, e.g.:
* .
*
* This workaround is possible because Safari supports the non-standard 'beforeload' event.
* This allows us to trap the module and nomodule load.
*
* Note also that `nomodule` is supported in later versions of Safari - it's just 10.1 that
* omits this attribute.
