Honestly guys, even though I was all pro Hillary here at the end, if I'm going to be truthful with myself I had severe reservations. I just bundled them into a corner because the other option was horrifying to me. There is a psychological phenomenon where people love what they get even if it wasn't what they choose, and that was me all over.
So, even if Trump back peddles on the wall and repealing Obama care, you know the wealthy will be getting their tax cuts, and someone's gotta pay for that lost revenue so some social services and environmental regulation will be cut, no question. Even if all the racists climb back under their rocks, immigration reform of the harder type is coming, and the economy will not improve. LGBT people may retain their hard won rights, yay! But Global warming will continue unchecked, or probably even faster.
Anyway, there were obviously many factors in play here, it isn't ever as simple as a single thing. So let's work on cleaning our own house while the other side keeps burning theirs down. House cleaning may be unpleasant, but it needs doing. Get good, truly progressive people in 2018, and a candidate with some charisma and a clean nose in 2020. And get the effing millenials to vote!
