UFC commentator Joe Rogan had a bit to say about Donald Trump’s victory on Instagram.
“Wait, what…”
Rogan also posted a quote from Hunter S. Thompson that read: “America… just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.”
“Rogan captioned his post, “Boy do I wish he was alive to see this. #freakparty”
Kenny Florian tweeted, “At least those people that didn’t vote are now going to realize that after all of this their vote ACTUALLY matters.” “Time to stop feeling like I’m in an episode of “Black Mirror”. Complaining on social media does nothing. Physical action = real change.” “What?! My tweets, reading & watching the news from my couch didn’t help me influence change in the world?! 😱”
