but it's not really funny.

The honest answer is we'll have a LOT to do...tackle gerrymandering, overturn Citizens United, get Pence out of the White House, get McConnell and Ryan out of DC, and begin rebuilding our intelligence community and our standing in the world. Then there's the business of running deVos out of town on a rail so we can start the lengthy process of rebuilding our educational system...

it goes on and on and on.....

DU will be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, DU will be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, DU will be there. DU will be in the way guys yell when they're mad. Du will be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - DU will be there, too.

More relaxed, relieved. Complacency settles in.

Enter Pence with a Republican controlled Congress. Oh, just think how fast those bills will be flying off his desk.

Don't forget the judges.

In God We Must Trust.

He's the guy THEY really want in office, especially with 2 more possible seats on the court opening up.

Oh - there will be punch, pin the tail on the donkey and all the unflavored jello you can eat. YUMMY.

There is the religious zealot Mke Pence, the 2018 midterms, and the 2020 Presidential election.

We will be watching the Trump empire come crashing down and Melania will have to hawk her jewels and designer clothes to scratch out a living as Barron goes to Public school. That will be a thing of beauty to watch because Donnie will have to pay back the money he owns his bitch master, Vladamir. Orange will be his favorite color.

As for the eldest Trump kids, they will actually have to get jobs that pay Minimum Wage because they are damaged goods. The Trump name and brand won't be worth spit.

There is much to look forward to.

If a Dem wins we start bashing them, or defending them against bashing. Depending on if they were our choice in the primary.

If it's a Republican we can blame the Dem candidate (if they weren't our losing choice in the primary, of course. That person will always have beat the Republican from what I've seen for the past 20 years!) for the Dem loss. Then we can spend the next four years picking at the wounds of their supporters. If it was our choice in the primary, we blame the losing primary candidate for dragging them through the mud and weakening then.

Meanwhile everyone can argue how wrong everyone else is for not thinking exactly like they do on every single issue, and how their candidate was more qualified/pure than the other person's was.

Then we can point fingers and blame each other for not being willing to see the other persons side. Oh, and we can toss about meaningless political titles for the various factions of the Democratic Party to try and further enrage those who aren't exactly like us. Mustn't forget that fun game, right? It never goes out of style.

There's endless opportunity for hating on politicians and their supporters on the internet. Do keep up! This can, and apparently will, go on infinitely. It's a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
