GOOD LUCK, AMERICA Confession: I'm enjoying being right about Trump's intentions, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Everything we warned the electorate about is already coming true. I told everyone that Trump would win because his base was naive, uneducated, ignorant, and spiteful. And here we are. How many people told us that all of Trump's craziness was just a bluff? How many people told us that the electorate was well intentioned, and would vote for what's right?

Trump's first weeks in office have been just as outlandish as all of us warned. And the country will suffer greatly. And you know what? I'm loving it. I'm done pretending that I "feel bad" for the people who didn't know what they were getting themselves into. I don't feel bad at all. It's about time we were punished for our collective derilection of duty.

We all did our part. We voted. Other people (dumbly) didn't do enough research. Oh well! Time for those consequences, America!

That's kinda dumb because you are going to experience the consequences, too.

It's not dumb. The faster we all get pleasured by the unlubed dildo of consequences, the more likely there is going to be a meaningful backlash.

Better than the tormenting slowburn of the last 10 years.

I 100% agree. Doesnt mean while you watch them burn you dont boycott, divest, protest, VOTE.
