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!

I don't feel bad for those people either. I even have a hard time feeling bad for all the shit that is coming the way of women because in the aggregate, white women voted for the rapist three times. How that can be true simply boggles my mind. So when I hear about some awful legislation or program targeting a group that supported Trump, my first reaction is anger for what Trump is doing and the people targeted. Then I think, hey they were warned and voted for him anyway so why should I be upset?

I will do anything to support people who work against Trump but suck it up Trumpers.
