A fake news website is offering depressed Hillary Clinton supporters a safe space where they can pretend she won the presidential election.

The website, hillarybeattrump.org, provides readers with fake stories from an alternative universe where Hillary Clinton was successful in her bid for the White House.

Story headlines include “Historians say Clinton’s presidency is already in ‘all time top 5,'” “Trump vehemently denies mental illness, explaining: ‘I’m on tons of cocaine,'”  and ironically, “Confused by fake news, Redditors think Trump is president.”

The site bears the header, “President Hillary Rodham Clinton,” and its slogan reads, “News from the Real America, Where the Majority Rules.”

“In the midst of a Constitutional crisis, this is our response. Long live the true president, Hillary Rodham Clinton,” reads the site’s information page.

The site’s editors claim that they satirically cover an assortment of topics including the “alt-right,” “Brexit,” “Bra-burning,” and “Putin.”

The topic “failed candidate Trump,” has been written on 19 times. One of the fictional stories claims that after losing November’s election, Donald Trump announced a bid to challenge Bill De Blasio for his seat as the Mayor of New York City.
