Well, This Happened...
I wish I could say I'm surprised by how things turned out yesterday, but I'm not. This is the result of multiple trends which have been going on for decades, ranging from the Republican war on government, lingering racism and sexism, a corporate media which cares more about profits than actually reporting the issues, and significant economic disruption in large parts of the country which neither side has ever really addressed. Still, I'm deeply ashamed that so many people in this country voted for a racist bully who's had his entire life handed to him by daddy. In any event, it's time to focus on getting control of Congress back in 2018, and on getting the next generation of progressive leaders ready for future battles.
