To continue my thoughts further, I think Trump will be a good thing for this country.I hope you're right.
Meanwhile, as a 50 year old, this period is the most disturbing and dangerous (IMO) in my lifetime. I've seen post factualism reach criticality, batshit mainstreamed by a major political party and idiocracy come true.
But hey, maybe you're right. Maybe this can be stopped.
This is my optimistic side which rarely rears its head, but one can hope.
Trump has made people who were in the closet come out. People like candle86 or compuwiz1 feel empowered to speak out right now and, assuming they are also speaking out IRL, they are showing their friends, family, colleagues who they really are.
When the script changes and Bernie Sanders gets elected in 2020, when socialized Healthcare and real changes come to this country and more people are happy in life instead of just the rich white man, we'll remember how bad it can be if we allow hate to fill our hearts. We'll remember that candle86 is a racist and those hate mongers will now be out in the open.
Yeah I know, I am probably dreaming. I would even settle for a populist Democrat like corrupt Hillary at this point. Much less my dream of a country where it's OK to be a woman who likes women, without being judged or discriminated against. Or hell, might as well wish for the moon and ask for Ellen to run for president
