So perverse. Much ugly.

Heās not officially in charge, and youāre not female. Guess Iām insinuating you might have less to lose, dirty ferāiner or not.

Fair enough. But given what deal Trump reportedly offered Kasich, I suspect Pence is running a lot behind the scenes anyway. And he might be more inclined to listen to saner (hah!) voices like McConnell and Ryan. Christ. Even clutching at straws is fucking depressing.
But I think Trumpās grasp on reality is pretty goddamn limited.

Which means opposed to abortion, war, and the death-penalty.
And the Pope has said that we should not fixate on abortion alone, but tell that to my in-laws. I told my father-in-law that he wasnāt pro-life at all, that he was just anti-abortion. Iāve learned not to do that again.

Granted. I suspect if POTUS Actual understood what abortion is and why one might want one, he wouldnāt be banging on about it so. Seems unlikely that he didnāt pay (or threaten) women he slept with to ātake careā of unwanted foetuses at any point in the past, though.

My hope since election night has been that Trump will cause Republicans with integrity - and I, perhaps naively, donāt think Iām being overly generous in suggesting that there are some - to stand up and take action. In particular, John McCain - someone I donāt agree with about pretty much anything but whom I do (did) respect, despite Palin.
The big name Republicans, including McCain, have unfortunately already proven that they are all spineless and, IMO, unfit for public office, having proved that they are not serving the people but are primarily looking out for their reelection by gerrymandered idiots.
Thereās still hope for a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington moment - Mr. Smith fights against his own party in the film - from Republicans who arenāt household names. Maybe McCain will reach a breaking point and do it himself.
I wouldnāt bet on it, but hey, itās possible.
As others have already written, thereās little hope for positives beyond positive reactions to Trumpās actions and policies in the future. At first, I was dismayed by how far progressive politics would be set back - and they will be - but the backlash will be truly historic.
We will have a few years where things get really bad - thereās no way this isnāt going to be a disaster. It feels like Trump is trying to make his campaign rhetoric about how America sucks actually come true.
However, once the average American realizes what a bunch of spineless, idiotic clowns the Republicans really are, the Republicans will lose their congressional majorities. A progressive will win the next election and with the overwhelming support of a progressive congress we will see the end of gerrymandering and the electoral college, weāll replace Trumpcare with universal single-payer healthcare (FFS), we can improve public education and make higher education affordable for everyone, we can even end homelessness and abject poverty with universal basic income, better public housing, etc. - if we want. These problems, at least for us here in America, are really not difficult to solve - and the long-term gains pay for the short-term expenses.
Hereās hoping, anyway.

So, youāre saying that if he had greater understanding, he would have less hypocrisy?
Thou art an extreme optimist.

Iām hinting that he really hates being embarrassed, and even a simpleton with political ambitions understands that child-by-mistress is a reallybadthing with the Jesus crowd.
