"Democracy is now in crisis. Even the US, the worlds leading democracy, elected a con artist and would-be dictator as its president. Although Trump has toned down his rhetoric since he was elected, he has changed neither his behavior nor his advisers. His cabinet comprises incompetent extremists and retired generals."
"But the US will be preoccupied with internal struggles in the near future, and targeted minorities will suffer. The US will be unable to protect and promote democracy in the rest of the world.

Wait until he finds out he ALL WRONG ON THAT ONE!

(5,275 posts)The white nationalists, the Nazis, will be cool with it all. But the white working class regular folks who got conned just were not bright enough to see through his fake populist BS. They will rue the day they voted for this disgrace of a candidate.
This has been a nightmare for a lot of us, unlike anything I can remember. White knuckle time till 2021 unless we all get nuked first.
What in the world were non racist Trump voters thinking?
I had my issues with Hillary but good grief, when I looked at her opponent it made it clear to me I had a zillion more issues with the Gropenator.
