It's highly unlikely there was any election shenanigans [View all]

My immediate family of 6 all voted straight blue - but I'm sure we all have in mind at least an equal number of acquintances who
were intending to vote for Trump. The values of the professional class that tend to be political junkies (like us - yay!) do not match those of most of the nation. Does that mean we have to beclown ourselves to appeal to them? Won't do a bit of good. Most of us are too old to play that game and will just wind up looking like posers. If you are a DUer of adequate or better means think about reaching out to other like minded Democrats that may not be so fortunate. Build local alliances. Join discussion clubs. If possible learn about the ethics of local business owners and do not fund assholes. Consult a financial advisor. Maybe take a page from the Republicans and help start an anti-Heritage Foundation. If not disabled, work harder, learn more, make more. Success is the sweetest revenge. Then when some degenerate wants to climb into your lifeboat, you can hit em with your oar. Hard.
