In truth, I think that the undertone message that the progressives were promoting over the past eight years, and is evidenced by their abject terror at Trumps election is that they have invested everything into making the President King/Dictator of America.
One has only to look at the rhetoric since Trump's elections.
America is now going to be misogynist. America is now going to be racist. Trump is going to make our children hateful and teach them to be anti-abortionists. He is going to make them hate the poor and turn a blind eye to the needy.
He is going to to turn American into a holocaust nation where old people shamble, zombie like, down streets with opened cans of dog food handing from their gangrene fingers....
If their children learn these lessons, it will be because they taught it. They are already teaching their children hatred for their fellow citizens.
This is not a dictatorship. Trump and his supporters are going to learn that they still have to operate inside the Constitution and within the limited power of the President.
Oh my, the world is ending, huh, Darkwind? The message that came through Nov. 8th was that we need a government that works for all the people, not just subgroups. The message was also that our representatives had better start working for the country as it was intended by our Founding Fathers.
Where the Democrats put up a candidate that whose main purpose was to line her own pockets and ineffectiveness continued from the previous administration. The election told the Democrats they were not accepting the status quo and and grid lock any longer. The Republicans now have the house, senate and oval office. A new common sense approach to problems will finally take hold. Get over it Dems...you lost!
