Welcome to the alternative universe where Hillary won the election.

It’s almost a month into Clinton’s presidency and she’s already named the US a ‘sanctuary nation’ and signed an executive order mandating gender-neutral bathrooms in public schools.

Meanwhile, Trump has renounced his US citizenship and moved to Russia.

Welcome to the alternative universe where Hillary won the election.

Thanks to the creative mind behind hillarybeattrump.org there's now a little oasis on the internet that you can visit whenever you need a detox from this post-Trump world.

The satirical news website is producing articles that demonstrate what 2017 would look like if Hillary had won the election and it's glorious.

Since her inauguration President Clinton has pursued sweeping Wall Street reforms. Denzel Washington won the Oscar for Best Actor and Casey Affleck entered rehab for sexual harassment. Shonda Rhimes is writing Clinton's State of the Union Address. And Milo Yiannopoulos is working as a barista at Starbucks.

The site's founder, a 30-year-old writer based on the East Coast of America, has chosen to remain anonymous fearing that she could become a target of conservatives in real life.

She told The Washington Post that her critics are partly right, the site is meant to serve as a little refuge from reality for liberals everywhere.

But mostly, she said, it’s a chance to troll the opposition whose party actually won the presidency.

“I wanted it to be a joyful middle finger,” she told the Post. “I didn’t want to wallow or argue with people who can’t be argued with. There’s something about humour as confrontation that I instinctively thought would work — like a good right jab that I could keep using.”

And it's worked. Breitbart, Fox News, Yiannopoulos and the Daily Caller have already called the site "fakes news" and a place for liberals to seek "refuge from reality".

And the trolls, of course, have come out in force on social media.

But the LOVE for Hillary Beat Trump far outweighs the negative.
