2016 Postmortem

I say, take the consequences of your vote and live (or die) with it. There was no secret as to what you were voting for. The primaries were fought, and they were what they were. The General Election was for the future of the country. What should have been a general mood of cautious optimism has now become one of dark gloom, and no pleasant surprises have been evident so far. Of course, to those who are still gloating and jubilating about Trump's impending inauguration, I can only say, you will find out soon enough if what you got is really what you wished for. I suspect the celebration will be neither long-lasting nor universal.

I have no sympathy except for those who wanted to vote but were prevented from doing so by Republican voter suppression.
