Hi carl,
I guess I really have become an arrogant liberal, but I am still convinced that
not enough Americans did their homework this time around and I'll point the
finger especially at those who supported Hillary from the beginning of this
wretched campaign.
I'm with you all the way as to how the leadership of both parties have created
the mess we're in and don't give two flips about the lives of the average
American.
I will concede that the word stupid was a bit too strong, but remember I wrote
that message in anger which , fortunately, has now transformed into resolve.
That is, the resolve not to accept any status quo crap from either side of the
aisle. There have been times in the past when colleagues of mine have chided me
for being too brash in expressing my views. Believe it or not, I think I
learned something from The Donald. I have learned that it's not a bad thing to
express ones views in what are sometimes direct and harsh terms. WE need
progressives to express our views in the same manner that is often used by
Trump. The difference is that we will be fighting for the rights of the
disenfranchised no matter how many of the privileged we happen to offend. That
means that terms like greedy bastards ought to be an appropriate way to refer
to banksters and other assorted fuckers of finance. IT means that socialism
should not be considered a dirty word in the face of massive income inequality.
It also means when the right-wingers talk about repealing the AHCA, it is
highly appropriate to say something like, when you do that, will you toss
people off of the insurance roles with the only options being go without or pay
higher premiums for inferior coverage? In the past, when I have spoken in this
manner in the presence of powerful folks, my colleagues have usually told me
that the powerful folks had funny looks on their faces and that I had been very
rude to then. To me,the lesson of Trump tells me to keep right on being rude,
especially when I'm shining the light upon injustice and showing the powerful
people the consequences of their actions or inactions. The lesson of Trump
tells me to keep right on afflicting the comfortable for the benefit of those
who are too afraid or intimidated to speak up for themselves.

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.
