There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

believe you are correct. We will get through this. However, watching this fiasco unfold is absolutely infuriating.

I do not come easily to hatred. But I'm getting to a full boil with Trumpism and anyone who still supports this fiasco.

Traitors all!

It is the price we pay for a flawed system (the Electoral College for one thing).

Civll Service has been depleted.
Diplomatic Service has been depleted.
Tax cuts will be almost impossible to undo quickly, so Social security, Medicare and Medicaid will be underfunded. People will die and suffer.
National debt will be humungous.
Environment will be degraded.
Education will be hugely privatized.
A generation of college students will be in debt unless forgiven.
Unions will be greatly damaged.
We will have a rightwing Supreme Court for the next 30 years.
Large numbers of courts throughout country are already seeded with Trump appointed judges.
Many DACAs and immigrants will have been deported and can't manage to return.
We will probably have a major recession in 2020.

If we manage to stay out of war.

Yes. A MAJORITY. Some THREE MILLION MORE VOTES.

She was up against the GOP, the RNC, the Koch Brothers, the Mercers, Wikileaks, Pox Noise, Julian Assange, Roger Stone and his merry band of ratfuckers, Cambridge Analytica, Vladimir Putin, the St. Petersburg troll farm(s), Russian oligarchs and other international high-rolling criminals - AND all their money, and the entire Russian espionage infrastructure. And she STILL got THREE MILLION MORE VOTES than trump did.
