Hate to be pessimistic, but these a-holes are going to be vindictive and punitive towards anyone they don't like. They are collectively drunk with power and they will never, ever relinquish it. Like you, I hope for less than four years, but from what I am seeing so far I am expecting this to last long after I am dead and gone. Since two months ago, we are America in name only.
