10. You know, as dangerous and terrible as the current situation is...

In the long run, it may be better that Trump is president with a Republican congress rather than Clinton with a Republican congress (which evidently we were doomed with as that Democratic landslide never occurred). The latter scenario would have been non-stop attempts at character assassination and political witch-hunts. The media would have played along as they did during the campaign and the whole bullshit "Dems are corrupt" narrative would be furthered. Any attempts to investigate Trump's Russian connections would have been portrayed as abuse of power by the Clinton administration.

Now, the fact of total GOP corruption will be laid bare. Sadly, it's going to take a lot of pain and suffering on the part of the American people before the backlash begins...and successful pushback isn't guaranteed, but the ball is in their court. They have nothing but policies that shaft the American people and shady foreign connections... the only thing that will keep them in power is maintaining the propaganda...
