38. Can not...

Agree with you more.

If the pitch forks, emotions, anger, focus etc don't start getting pointed at the man sworn in as the 45th President of the United States today and his enablers instead of each other the republicans are going to have a field day kicking the Democratic Party around at will with legislative bill after legislative bill until the mid terms...at least.

I didn't like how this turned out anymore than anyone else here. HRC should have been the one taking the oath today...but she didn't. The elation felt 8yrs ago when President Obama took the oath should have been matched or exceeded today with HRC standing in front of the Chief Justice... instead it was a feeling of complete despair.

Because there is evidence that the election was not fair, that it was influenced by people both foreign and domestic. So take the anger you feel right now and focus it on fighting back against trump and the republicans instead of each other. If we don't it is only going to get worse.
