Trump doesn't represent a policy, but a style.
And the style is toxic.
There are many republicans who may even hold what dems consider repugnant policy ideals, but are stand up, moral people.
Can people imagine the Trumps harangues coming from the oval office?

I think the take away is that even in districts that Clinton won, she didn't win in large enough margins to carry states that had large rural voters.
So the liberal assholes that lived in democratic areas that couldn't quite bring themselves to vote for Clinton because she didn't talk Bernie enough have Trump now.
Also, CNN was just talking about Russia interfering in the election on one side. And that one side looks like it may win now in a huge surprising upset. That is a huge thing. It is even a huger thing that many progressives, liberal and conservatives don't care two shits about that.

This is so fucked.

Well, CNN would, wouldn't they? They'd blame it on aliens if they had to. But they don't have to (yet), so Castro Noriega Milosevic Saddam Gadhaffi Al Qaeda Putin will do just fine in the meantime.

Yes, exactly. This election has certainly brought a new wave of respect for the US mainstream media here on RI!
I'm trying to hold on to the one perceived positive here: a possible detente with Russia.

It's fecken Groundhog Day all over again. A learning process, innit (though the planet will probably fry before liberals ever learn.)

No, but Con vowed to put her in jail. To assign a special prosecutor to he, so there's that.

Most liberals would support a nuclear war with Russia as long as CNN & the NYT (quoting "sources") reassured them that Evil Putin was preparing to attack US first. They'd call it fighting fascism.
I wish I was joking.
