The outlook after Nov 5th

For a lot of trump supporters and people who just hate the Democratic Party and anyone associated with it, the results of the November 5th elections were terrific. They're excited about trump's second swearing in on January 20th and are expecting plenty of rainbows and unicorns following on. 

But to the millions of  Americans who won't quaff the Kool Aid, we know the kinds of shock, chaos and stunning dysfunction that we'll soon be seeing from one end of the US to the other.

The proverbial shit is, in fact, about to hit the fan. And the horrific results will be felt in every corner of our Nation and, in fact, all over the Planet.

It’s incredible that it’s come to this. And, to be frank, I think our chances of ever undoing the damage to our Country that trump has done and is about to do are very slim.

If we can, it will take at least a generation. Not an election or two—and those may be about to go away—but a generation or two. And God only know what kind of shape our Country—and our PLANET—may be in by then.

Have you been wondering why those post-Apocalyptic movies and shows—the Mad Max kind—have become so popular? I think a lot of us know, deep down, that we’re heading into that kind of a hellscape but we’re not ready to admit that our situation is that grave. But we’ll buy the movie ticket and but then avoid ever having a serious discussion about all of that. 

For my part, I’m sure that’s where we’re heading. The Nov 5th Election and trump gaining power again has made it an absolute certainty.

I certainly hope I’m proven wrong.
