Basically I think the election of Donald Trump is a huge middle finger to Washington and politics in general by the white middle class male voters.
Oh, I'm not saying that isn't what they think. I'm just saying it's retarded that the demographic that has overwhelmingly held the majority of power suddenly feels marginalized and outraged now that a tiny bit of that power is slipping away thanks to a slow drip of diversification.
And if anyone thinks it's a coincidence that the white male suddenly felt disenfranchised after we elected the first black president, you're fooling yourself.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
