34. This brings up an interesting contradiction

I argued with many folks pre-election who kept telling me how bad things were under Obama. How we needed to change the establishment. How jobs are gone, how Bad things are in America. Yet now that Trump was elected, everything is great. Unemployment's ok. Stock market is solid. Just needed the right guy in charge for 24 hours I guess....

As this Christy person puts it, she's got all she needs. No need to make waves. What's the big deal? So my point: her argument before was flat at best and she doesn't even see her own hypocrisy. Further she - and others like her - are going to be reminded very quickly of how things were in 07 and 08. What unemployment looks like, what the housing market crashing looks like. What war(s) looks like. $4-5 gas p/ Gallon. And most likely how things were - as eloquently pointed out in the rebuttal - in a time when women and others were in fact waaay more marginalized in this country.

I must say, I am dubious about all FB or twitter counter posts to something like the MoW, I think they are most likely troll posts. This smells of it to me.
