Trump will be gone, but he broke open the system and it will take 20 yrs to get the political system normal again.
We have to start learning the process and voting.
We have to accept that 9 out of 10 are just trying to live in a "gig" world instead of a "job" world.
Firms like GM and GE what to reduce to a 15% employee and 85% "gig" contract.
Robert S. Mueller will be just a blip in the history books and a whole new crop will be trying to get your vote.
Right now there is not enough time to change the system, spend a little time learn how to do it and where to put the pressure.

The Wingnuts and the Knights of Malta have had their plans set for the LONG game for a long time. We're talking The Federalist Society, the other vast interlocking think tanks and money laundering outfits are concerned while WE can't even get our constituents TO VOTE!

Not now.
It will take the combined efforts of non-racist people (which are actually the majority) to stomp this shit out
