2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat happens after Hillary wins? I don't think these creatures are going away. I'm
stunned that so many Americans want a creature like Trump, and then look at his potential cabinet picks. A Trump win would bring the US down for generations. I'm confident Hillary will win, but the support for Trump says something very chilling about some Americans.

(4,490 posts)1. One of the top priorities I think needs to be law enforcement reform, starting with the FBI. They just tried influencing the election in favor of someone who may be collaborating with a hostile foreign power. That's more than a little concerning. Then going down to state and local law enforcement, I think the infiltration by white supremacist groups needs to be addressed too, along with all the other issues they have.
2. Have to try and get a rational supreme court selection through, one way or another.
3. The DNC will need to come up with a good plan to counter the Republican stranglehold on the House. I don't know how much longer we can put up with the Republican successes at the local and state levels across the country. It hurts in so many different ways, and is a major roadblock when it comes to helping people who need help, and getting anything done.

(67,112 posts)saw the effects of a Trump presidency, and the loss of ALL of their family values, they would likely live a remaining life of misery in a dystopia. Frankly, I just don't get all of the Hillary hatred other than by brainwashing and ignorance.

(5,754 posts)If they still support Trump, their family values aren't very valuable to them.

(82,383 posts)they have the nerve to go on about Bill Clinton, when they should be admitting they don't care about Donnie that means they should apologize to Bill for making such a big deal in the 90s. They obviously never really cared about the family values at all, just wanted to use it to make a scandal for Clinton.
One of them even went on about JFK!!!!! Back when the media was so kind and gentlemanly as to just not report on it.

(14,568 posts)They are going to have their normal childlike emotive nonsense for a few weeks. But, once the idea of any democrat, much less Hillary taking over as POTUS they will find themselves standing next to one another in unison trying to take her down.
And, if we win the senate and do the right thing in altering the filibuster to actually seat judges, we are going to see shit we never thought we would see in this day and age.

(67,112 posts)them are not fat and stupid, that, is what actually scares me some, innocents shot up or something for no reason, all that shit, like we see in other countries.
They have been inching toward the line for a quarter century now, but it has been mealy mouthed bullshit like second amendment remedies.
But, this election and Trump has put them right at the line.
It is going to be bad with Hillary.
But, they have put the SC on such a holy grail that if the Ds have the power to and alter the filibuster to actually seat SC justices, we may see people get killed over it.

(11,175 posts)I suspect their attitude will be "No more nice guy." IOW, they'll decide that their obstructionism under Obama was insufficient (!), and they need to step it up a notch. There will probably be at least one government shutdown, either threatened or (more likely) actually implemented.

(67,112 posts)are excluded. IMO they are obstructionists and a threat to US democracy.
