nebris~Some people get mad at me when I say I'm glad Trump got elected instead of Hillary. [I wanted Bernie, but...well, you know] The HilBots become positively apoplectic, getting as vicious as any Trumptard. But Hillary would have been just more of the same slow somnambulist slide into the Corporatist Abyss, like the proverbial frog in the pot. She is a not a 'liberal', but, like Obama before her, a Center/Right Corporatist who merely makes 'liberal noise' at the Dem base while selling out to her donors and adding money to the Clinton coffers. Really, what good are LGBT Rights when you can't afford your rent or put food on the table?
The Donald on the other hand is a nonstop horror show of Racism and Fascism, all so overt that even the most craven compromisers can no longer stomach it, as they each, one by one, puke him up. But this American Nightmare Realized was truly necessary. It has held up a mirror to us collectively and forced us to confront all of the many ugly truths about who we are as a Nation and a People.
Yes, many are suffering because of it, but to be brutally honest, not too many more than were already suffering and who would have kept suffering under HRC. And now many latent Progressives have been shocked awake.
Me, I was not all that surprised, but then I'm a pretty cynical son of a bitch. I've been sharpening my blades for a very long time.
At least now we're awake and those Racist Fascist sociopaths who dwell among us have revealed themselves in all their hideous glory, friend and family members we thought were 'good people' can now be seen as the monsters they are and handled accordingly.
What will come of all this, we shall see. Ain't gonna be pretty, that's for certain...
