Regardless of the outcome of tonight, y’all be careful. 

If Trump wins, hate crimes are going to increase because, as we have already seen, groups like the KKK and those who think like them are emboldened by the popularity of Trump. They will become more open about their bigotry, which will lead to violence. 

On the other hand, if Hillary wins, there are going to be a lot of very angry Trump supported out there, of the historically violent and hateful variety who are going to be looking for things and people to take their anger out on and an excuse to do it. 

Be careful. Look out for each other. Stay safe.

this is a very real concern, guys. after brexit there were about five times as many reported hate crimes in the UK, and several police officers still believed hate crimes were significantly under reported. if trump wins it’s likely that something similar, perhaps even worse, will happen in the US. and if he loses, a lot of trump supporters (about 30% according to the washington post) have said they’re going to protest the outcome of the election

no matter who wins, it could become pretty ugly
