We survived two Bush eras, we can survive four years of "that guy" in office.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the US is the only place that is going to be adversely affected by the Trump/Bannon triumvirate (yes, the two of them have enough ego for three people).  Implicit in their irrational devotion to nationalism is economic protectionism.  Normally, this wouldn't trouble me, but the scale of the US economy is such that a protectionist agenda there is going to send shockwaves through stock and commodities markets around the world.  High tariffs, 'border' taxes, bribing companies to build plants in the US, decreasing investment in foreign markets - these things simply will do drastic damage to the global economy.  And - like it or not - it IS a global economy, and there's no going back.

It's up to the people that have the resources to do something about it, we the people who reside in these country's lack power to control the majority. Even if a popular moment is to jump off a cliff, you can warn them over and over; but they will not listen to your warning. You can only grow a sense of humor and watch one after another plummet to their deaths.
