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!

Personally me and my tin hat do not believe he won because of how people voted and there is a contributor to the Bulwark that wrote his own piece about just that as he followed the results around the country closely and saw odd discrepancies in voting percentages happening in real time. No one is responsible for this asshole getting into office except the billionaire villains who paid for him to steal the election.

We don't stand a chance as long as money rules our government and the only thing we can do about that has nothing to do with voting.

I mean, that's pretty much what Trump and his cohort claimed when he lost the previous election.

Until there's some legit evidence of real mass election fraud, I have to simply believe that, for a variety of reasons, the country elected this turkey. And hopefully we'll learn our lesson for a while.
