I asked my student why he voted for Trump. The answer was thoughtful, smart, and terrifying.

I am the one that said that, I think. And I stand by that.

The problem isn't going to be trump. It's going to be the judges and congress and they do respond to pressure.

By focusing on trump and not these others you're giving them all a free ride. Look at SE? It's all trump posts. You think that's coincidence? It works. It's been working. It wi continue to work. It how trump will get four more years. Because the people who voted for trump are relishing in it because "now the elitists know how we feel".

There are still states (like California) and government services (national parks) that won't roll over.

And your sentiment here on my comment glosses over all that and focuses on trump and that's exactly what they want; to drown out positive steps and debate.

if we as a nation can pull our shit together and field a decent candidate that can formulate a policy that can get enough people out to vote, maybe trump will only get four years.
