The "normalization" of Donald Trump has begun.

They criticize the "bitter" left.

They blame Hillary for running a bad campaign.

They overlook the character-assassin game of Donald Trump. He talked about all his opponents in the most horrible ways and branded them with nicknames and pushed hate and lies upon the most feeble-minded amongst us. By the end of the campaign, his followers were screaming, "Lock her up!"

Hillary did the best anyone could do under these circumstances, in my opinion. She certainly did better than the 16 Republicans that fell like bowling pins. The media became a propaganda machine for Donald Trump.

FOX reporters were laughing about the way the mainstream media was going after Trump over his phone call to Taiwan. They reminded us that he said "he would turn things upside down".

But they are not alone. Others are beginning to accept the reality of an insane dictator leading our country. Elections have consequences, we are told. And really, the people he has chosen for his Cabinet are not really that bad. One has a library with about 10,000 books.

Since there is nothing we can do about this terrible event that has happened to our country, we might as well accept it. Hopefully we will not see coffins of young soldiers arriving too soon after he is sworn into office?

Resistance is futile. Things will soon return to "normal".

I think "insane" is much closer than "unconventional".
