If anything positive has come out of the Presidential election race, it's the constant flow of 140-character-or-less gems. It's fitting that election day served as the absolute height (or low point) or Twitter humor as it's the end of the real world as we know it. Since you were probably busy watching the actual election coverage, we spent our time sifting through Twitter garbage to find the real diamonds in the rough. Check out the best election night tweets below.
The absolute and grim truth of it all. Stay strong.
Nothing about tonight is cheeky or funny.
Millions of women, POC, LBGTQIA, Muslims, immigrants & disabled folks are scared shitless.
