Trump is the perfect opportunity to create a real Blue Wall (PDR Blog of the Week 2016-12-08)

[egbertowillies]

When given lemons, why not make lemonade? Yes, Hillary Clinton won the election by more than 2.7 million votes which are north of 2% of the voting electorate. Donald Trump is our president based on the undemocratic nature of our constitution. Donald Trump instead of expressing humility for his presidential victory with an election loss has already made the pivot to plutocracy and fascist driven governance. We will discuss this.

1. I think we've had enough talk ...

... about walls. The "blue wall" fell down this election and Trump couldn't shut up about his.

Anyway, is the wall really a good metaphor? Their intention is to keep people out and in order to win elections, we don't really want to do that.

2. Metaphor my friend.

3. I would just like to think we could think of another one ...

... like "Big Blue Godzilla that Eats GOP States."

4. I think they are talking about not letting trump dictate what they should do in their

state.
California is proud of their stance on issues. They don't intend to let a wall be built between them and Mexico because they have thousands people going back and forth across the border all the time.
They like their sanctuary cities, their education system, their environmental protections, and on and on. By blue wall, they mean they aren't going to let him mess with their agenda and they will stand up for states rights where needed to keep the status quo.
