8. The more accurate answer is: "We did all what we could before the election, we will just watch as America burns..."

The party has shouted on and on about the dangers of Trump for months before the election, and America just rolled their eyes and voted for him. Democrats in Washington don't feel like putting their lives on the line when they (as they feel) did all they could to prevent this fate, and yet voters gave them the middle finger.

Dems however should be doing all they can to protect the ones that DIDN'T vote for Trump. We all are damn innocent and don't deserve the fate that is being bestowed onto America.
