(284 posts)They've got their slimy hands on the levers of power, and they will cling to those levers for dear life, citing the constitution they have crapped all over the past few months (years, really) as justification for why they get to keep their position.
I voted for Hillary Clinton. More voters voted for Hillary Clinton. Even more voters would have happily voted for Hillary Clinton had it not been for a concerted effort by a foreign government to damage public opinion of her, and it turns out THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WAS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THAT EFFORT. This is not giving the public what it truly wants. This is not democratic. If these sociopaths cared about the country, they would say, hey, we may not agree with Hillary Clinton on ideological matters, but this election was not fair to her nor her supporters; regardless of what we personally think, her vision for the country is what the people wanted. At the very least, we cannot say if her vision is what the people truly wanted because it was near-impossible for them to discern who she really was and what she stood for with all of the propaganda.
But they won't. They don't give a fuck about the country. They don't give a fuck about me. They care about power and giving their donors their promised goodies. They care about preserving their party of bigots that was about to be completely obsolete until Trump and the Russians propped it back up.
FUCK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
