Looks like I may have picked the wrong time to move back to the US. And the wife is giving me the evil eye right now.
One bright possibility long term for a Trump presidency is he could fuck the country up so much that even the pea-brained rednecks who voted for him will turn on the Republican Party.
Washington state is nearly entirely red, except for King County (and occasionally some combinations of Pierce, Whatcom, and Jefferson counties) which is where nearly 1/3rd of all voters live. (
All the tiny little counties’ votes come in first. There are only a few thousand people and even fewer voters, it’s easy to count. Then, King County’s votes are reported. It’s similar to what was seen in some of the east coast states.
I think I agree with this. The thought of Trump in an antagonistic relationship with the rest of government seems more destabilizing. Of course I don’t love how the rest of the Republican Party looks either, but if his supposed allies are in control of the agenda, we can basically ignore his blustering hyperbole. He’ll be the symbolic head of state, hang with his buddy Putin.
Does anyone else feel like Trump is playing a video game and we are all just computer generated characters? I mean, he’s a billionaire that always makes catastrophic mistakes but gets to start over each time and then he runs for president, says anything that comes to his mind, predicts outcomes that no one else believes, they come true, and he wins?? I swear this world was built just for him.
