we always care what you Brit think; yes INDEED

Our only hope right now is the possibility that the incoming US administration will be too dysfunctional to get anything done.

The only comfort is that The Unspeakable actually lost the popular vote, like Bush before him - I'm beginning to think that it might be cheaper, less divisive, and equally representative just to toss a coin!

Obviously not happy to have American Psycho with the key to the world's biggest store of nukes; but what worries me the most is that his 'victory' may embolden the so-called alt-right (AKA internet-savvy neo-fascists) in the USA, UK and abroad. The Unspeakable is there for 4 years - yes, a loooooong 4 years - and I suspect that he may not even run for another term; but the damage done by opening Pandora's box of neo-fascism may take far longer to reverse.

Bad politicians have worked out that racism is a big vote winner. Especially with the elderly, and with aging populations the elderly have a very disprortionate influence.
