I think that our differences are finally so drastic that we should start the discussion....I don't want to live under a trump presidency. Everything will be completely destroyed and looted by the time we can get our hands back on it again. Michael Moore said it will take 10 years to undo the first 10 days of his presidency. That has weighed heavily on my mind.
I have unfriended many people on Facebook because I just can't get over what these people did to the rest of us....
I think the salt in the wound is that they aren't even the majority.
It is a well coordinated effort of dishonest people in just enough places where they have been allowed to gerrymander and cheat and disenfranchise the rest of us just enough to win elections--and even worse---make it virtually impossible to wrest their power away from them once they have it.
And the words that have echoed in my head since bush got away with all of the stuff he did to us "Whatcha gonna do about it?"
Indeed. Those words are ringing in my head.

(2,679 posts)But I wonder the same thing. And can't picture myself living under the orange man's rule. The thought of what will be left after he finally leaves. Scary.
And can the earth handle it? Climate Change is about to get scary real, and fast - and that was even with a Hillary President. Imagine how bad it will under the orange man. Very bad scenario indeed.
I recall the ghettos and slums back in the 50s and 60s, I can imagine their rapid return and it makes me really troubled.

(100,075 posts)I think a split would be a bad thing - it would lead to an all out war that would last much much longer than the Iraq War, and that's the last thing we need right now.

(18,124 posts)our democracy to a clique of fascists that are also nazis. This actually is the culmination of the nixon-atwater 'southern strategy'. It will try to destroy me. I am a senior citizen 'taker' of programs, pensions that I paid into. As a vet who was wounded in Vietnam, that payment for my service might just go out the window. I hope people who voted for him end up as hurt as I will be when the ryan nazi scuttles all he has promisedd to scuttle in progams offered by this country, which again I did pay for and into.
