2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI want to thank donald trump. Seriously.
I want to thank him for showing us before election day who he actually is.
I want to thank him for not backing down from his convictions.
I want to thank him for finally showing the American people what years of republican back handed politics can create, donald trump.
I want to thank him for being such an ass that that Hillary has been able to use him as a tool from her arsenal, to give the Democrats back the Senate & to if not retake the House to give Democrats more seats to lessen their majority.
But most of all I want to thank donald trump for being the racist, misogynist, islamophobia, xenophobia, putin loving fascist that he is.
May history remember him for this.
Again, thank you donald.

It goes back to Civil Rights legislation, and the decision to be the party of immorality. You guys did it. You guys won and made lots of money, but you all lack a moral compass. I figure if there's heaven you guys end up in hell.

(11,833 posts)We can't get truly liberal legislation proposed & passed until we take it back.
I don't think Trump did much of anything other than expose racist sexist pigs.
But the majority of the country is still voting for right wing asshats who resist even the slightest progress.
Until we take back Congress in a big way, I won't believe republicans are on the fence in any meaningful way, other than this particular presidential election.
