Quote:Congrats to Trump supporters. Enjoy the moment. And own the decision.


He has the House and the Senate. There should be no excuses. If he isolates us from countries who have been loyal allies for decades, own it. If the racial division in America deteriorates further, own it. If this trade war he says he is going to start blows up in his face, own it. If the unemployment rate in inner cities and the overall job market does not improve, take credit for that too. If the national economy follows the global market indicators and takes a giant dump, that's you too. His proposed plan for the economy pretty much rewards the 1% and risks another depression, but you can take credit there too. If marriage equality for same sex couples or legalized abortion get overturned, give yourself a pat on the back. If he gets goaded into military conflict based on emotion instead of intelligence, enjoy it. When there are no regulations on the energy industry and air and water quality show signs of advanced pollution, don't complain, own it.

 

Sounds like what a woman would do. 


 

The flip side of this coin.. the what if Hillary won side isn't much prettier. Her presidency would have been more stalling and gridlock. There are notable advantages to her losing. For me, on a personal level, I get to tell my daughter honestly she can be proud when a woman is finally elected president. That would have been impossible if Hillary had won. She is as shady as it gets. And she is wholly unlikable. Had she not stolen the bid from Bernie we could have had a race where both parties were energized. That didn't happen. It's been obvious that there has been an extreme lack of enthusiasm around Hillary's campaign. Trump won by tireless campaigning and I have to give him credit there.


I truly hope the legions of his supporters hold him accountable for delivering on all of these promises he has made. And if he starts to wipe his rear with the Constitution, that these same people that put him in office will call him out on it. I have always believed this man to be a self-serving, pathological liar, so should he start to go rogue and take actions which directly contradict promises he made on the campaign trail (starts acting like a Democrat), I would hope you'd call him out on that too. I think it will be a testament to his legacy if he is able to make it four years without getting impeached or assassinated.

 

Hillary isn't? 



So enjoy the moment while you can. Ignore the global backlash that is gonna follow and when you look at our country in a few years, I really hope it is great. Or at least better than it is today. As of this moment, I'm highly skeptical it will be.
