2016 Postmortem

I had become a member of this site just to reply to this post. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? There is no compromise to be had. No matter how "flawed" of a candidate Hillary may have been (I personally found her no more "flawed" than any other traditional politician) she still wasn't a fascist. Have you forgotten that the republicans had other legitimate and competent choices, John Kasich for one. During the primary is was clear and apparent just what trump represented, and it was disgusting then. it's even more disgusting now. And they still cheer for him, some of them even going so far to him him "messiah". How do you suppose we educate these people? How do you suppose we find common ground with this? No i disagree with you completely. I say so many thought that it would be inconceivable that Trump would have a chance that they decided to just sit the election out. No, hand wringing and tail between one's leg-ism is NOT how we regain political office in this country. Being a force of resistance, doing everything possible to deligetimize this abomination daily is how. But we won't have to work that hard as that Orange imposter will do most of the work himself. All we have to do is stay firm, uncompromising in our principles, and sit back and watch it all burn to the ground. And if we have to lose every single office in this country because we will not yield not one single inch, then so be it. How much better to be a moral victor, than to debase one self for the vanity of political office alone. Hang tough my fellow comrade. things are going to get bad. Put some steel in your spine and strengthen up those knees. You're going to need it.
