It does, actually. Do you want a civil war? As it was the Trump crazies were threatening violence if he lost the election. Fuck, he WON and his cult is committing hate crimes to celebrate. Even if the dems find a way to legally prevent Trump from being inaugurated, the MAGATS will still riot, and then the police will have to shoot a lot of them, which will just feed their "Obama is a gay socialist muslim lesbian kenyan atheist dictator" narrative.Omegonthesane wrote: It doesn't have to play well. It has to stop the government from being all controlled by the party of wilful delusion and deliberately hurting everyone who isn't a ridiculously rich old white man at the country's expense.
Unless they can prove that Russians hacked the election results or something, he's the turd we're stuck with for the next 4-8 years. All we can do is show up at the polls in the next midterm and general election, assuming we still have elections at that point, and not "elections".
Best case scenario is that congress finds a reason to impeach Trump by 2018, and we're left with boring old establishment republican and religious nutjob Mike Pence, which turns his diehard bootlickers completely against the republican party. Either way, gooodbye Roe v Wade. Arrivedeci Clean Air and Water Act. So long and thanks for all the fish Dodd-Frank.
