Carl,
Theoretically, nothing has changed. But it has, in fact, changed. Perhaps
the changes will not touch you personally at first. I hope that, that's
true. But as bad as things have been, they have just become drastically
worse. And many people will begin experiencing the change very soon. The
people with pre existing conditions will no longer be covered by medical
insurance. The federal right to abortion will disappear. Undocumented
immigrants will be deported in massive numbers. They'll be imprisoned in
even greater numbers than they are now. Polluting industries will continue
with no regulation at all. You need to think about all of the laws that the
Republican congress tried to pass in the last two years, which were stopped
by Democrats or vetoed by Obama. Think about how Republicans view public
resources, and all of us who use them. And the people who voted for Trump?
Some of them did so because of racism and sexism. Some of them did so
because of their rage at what has happened to them financially. And yes,
those people have been manipulated. But they have made choices. They have
chosen not to look at all of the information available. They have chosen a
right wing criminal demagogue who made obviously unrealistic promises.
People need to be held accountable for their choices. After all, all of us
are subject to all of the propaganda that they are and we haven't succumbed.

Bob and All,
Nothing has changed! We were handed two candidates to select between.
In fact, we had only one choice. Would Clinton have made things easier for
the Working Class? Perhaps a wee bit...at first. But in the long haul, she
was and still is owned by the Puppet Master. And so is Donald Trump owned.
If you listen carefully, you might hear the cackling sound of their happy
voices as they prepare to ramshackle and plunder to their greedy hearts
content.
And yet, I take exception to the use of the word, "stupid", in referring to
our fellow Americans. Brainwashed I could accept. God knows I spent much
of my growing up in a struggle with the Establishment's conditioning.
We are not Stupid. What we are, is Used. We are no longer citizens...if we
ever were. We are at best, Consumers. We are the raw resource put on Earth
to be used by the truly Blessed...the super rich...the corporate
giants...the Corporate First Class Citizens.
Remember, we, the working class, the backbone of this nation, were lied to
from the very beginning. We were taught to believe that this great and free
nation belonged to us...we, the people. Have we forgotten that this nation
was made for the White Male; the Land Owner; those over 21 years of age.
Indians, Slaves, and even those poor souls who came later in the belief that
this was a Land that would embrace them, none of them were wanted except for
what they might give in goods and labor to the Land Lords. We were sold on
the idea that we lived in a Republic and ruled at the local level as a
democracy. In fact, this nation, at best, is an Oligarchy. Those who rule
us are afraid of us. The government was established very carefully to
protect those who were in control.
Even so, despite all of the safeguards, the working class managed to wrestle
away some gains that made their lives a bit easier. But we have never
achieved the level of comfort that we slave to provide for our Masters. We
have been conditioned...brain washed...to imitate them, to want to emulate
them, to worship them, to lust after the luxuries our sweat has created for
them. Over and over we have the lies of the Master rammed down our throats.
Of course we rush out in angry confusion and vote for the very Master we
have been subjected by. Donald Trump represents to many Americans, the very
ideal they have been told over and over to worship.
This is why I have hammered over and over again that we are no where ready
for a Revolution. An uprising by the confused American Working Class will
end up looking like Liberia or Egypt. It would amount to, Out of the Frying
Pan, into the Fire.
Times are going to be hard for the majority of Americans. But the Empire
will find it harder and harder to turn us inward. The day will come when
they will be forced to expose their base nature, and they will need to use
violence and military force to contain us. When that day arrives, God help
us if we don't have a survival plan ready to go.

Hi all,
I'm feeling ill as well, but it's not physical, it's emotional.
I am feeling within me a deep and disturbing hatred for the following:
1. Stupid people who really believe that Trump will make life better
for the majority of Americans.
2. Debbie Wasserman-schultz for rigging democratic primaries against
Sanders and in favor of Clinton. Will she be returning to Congress
next year? What a farce.
3. Hillary Rodham Clinton for making the dumb-ass decision to run for
president. She's a horrible campaigner, a walking freezer unit,
crooked as the letter S and maybe even incompetent. Obama didn't' just
win in 2008 because he is an accomplished speaker. There was then and
still is today very little passion or enthusiasm for Clinton. Hillary,
your legacy will be a roll-bac of progressive policies and women's
rights. Part of me is even glad that you're not the first woman president.
4. Most of all, Donald Trump for ratchetting up fear and hate with the
diabolical skill of an accomplished media marketer.
