"I've seen some people panicking but don't really see it here....."

I'm going to be taking a break from this place...

I can't handle the panic. So, I leave you with this link, and a reminder Obama (BUT OBAMA) filled his staff with people associated with Socialist International, STORM, campaign bundlers, and political allies without the requisite credentials for their positions  (Soap opera stars for Ambassadors?)

==============================

Most people here on the Mudduck regardless of our many differences seem to get the following. 

  • The genius of the system is that major change is really hard. It takes time and broad consensus. Trump seems like the last guy capable of building any consensus on anything.  

  • Major changes take time. Take Obamacare for example. It was passed in 2010. It took 2-3 years just to get started on implementation and some parts are just now being implemented today. 

  • The political pendulum is always swinging. It was just 8 years ago liberals were sky high and conservatives were throwing tea party rallies. Our lives have moved on and what matters most to us then is likely still what matter most to us now. Politics hasn't changed life all that much. 

I sure hope that Trump doesn't start anymore stupid ass wars. He has the personality to do so in my opinion. But even then world events would have to play out in a very unfortunate circumstance. And he would need to sell America somewhat on the idea. So I remain confident it doesn't happen.  

I don't see panic in calling attention to all the stupid things the Republicans will surely do in the coming days. That's a big part of what maintains my bullet points above.  Trump will be a weak and ineffectual President. He's not fit for Democracy. America remains the best place to live in human history. And it gets better everyday. Betting against us remains a fool's errand.
