Just Remember this today!

Trump didn't bring his absolute insanity to our country.

Our electorate did... The "We didn't know" excuse is absolute bullshit!

It was apparent right at the beginning what Trump was ......An unhinged lunatic! An Ignorant Lunatic!

I have a college friend who argued with me from the beginning.. Very Smart, Very Nice..a Good Guy.
He wrote me at the beginning of Trump's campaign stating that:
"Trump is a different kind of Cat ( can you believe this?) who will be bring common sense to our political situation"...

My college friend and millions upon millions of our citizens believed in Trump! Fuck all of them!

Not so...they came crawling out of every crack in our country...like ants to honey. The Civil War has never been won, neither the 1960s Civil Rights act. Just drove the crazies underground. They flocked to the Orange Thing for their political justification.

When he's out like insects in the sunshine, they will go away again.

The "deplorables" were just lying low and waiting for the right pied piper to call them forth. It must of been a very bad eight years for them under President Obama. They love them some Trump!

5. Trump isn't a symptom, he's part of the problem.

And the problem is that the people who voted for him are just as boorish, close minded and pig headed as he is. Fix the problem and you fix the symptoms.

GOP POTUS" and "Maybe he will change" or "Let's give him a chance" and the ever popular "GOP Congress hates him and will control him". I said "Fuck that BS!" every time I heard it in person or read it or saw it on TV. Are you listening Chris Matthews? You and Van Jones sure tried to pull that crap long enough.

7. I maintain that an imperfect U. S. Constitution brought him to us.

The electoral college is imbedded in the Constitution and will be very difficult, if not impossible to change or remove.
And why do we have two Dakotas - North and South, with very few residents between them?
Why not just one state - Dakota?
I could go on, but I'm too exhausted.
