Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Look at this unedited stack of horror.

If he supports Trump on the environment, gun control, gay rights and women's health... when do we expect him to fight him? Is it just education or will he fight for refugees and immigrants too?
Every few days I just ask, "Can we riot yet?" I'm starting to wonder if there is a tipping point and who's going to actually take to the streets to defend this country from itself? How about we at least invite the British to burn down the White House and Capitol again?

Obama didn't do what you are proposing though, did he? Not in 08 or 12.
Obama campaigned extensively across the rust belt in 08 and 12, and the focus of his campaign was on the economy and on jobs. He even managed to flip Iowa.
People who place more value on the loftiness of your campaign rhetoric, instead of how many seats in Congress you can control, are the reason Democrats are in this mess.
Yes Hillary's campaign was flawed: so was Trump's. Of course 2016 was a winnable election for Hillary. I'm saying it's a travesty Trump was so close at all, and that now he was complete legislative control.
The Left losing the support of the uneducated working class is a bigger deal than Trump vs Hillary. Look at Congress, the state legislatures, outside of the US: this phenomenon is radically changing how politics functions in the western world. Even if Trump's shambolic campaign had been defeated, you could expect an even more sinister character next time.

I think you need to examine the lens through which you view the election if you believe that Trump's campaign was a travesty.
To the left, it WAS a travesty. To the right, Trump was exactly the guy they've been asking for. He campaigned directly on white pride in a way that no Republican candidate has before him in modern times.
Can't help but think Sessions may very well force a state's rights confrontation with blue states. There's way too much shit he would eagerly support: stop and frisk, Papers Please, indiscriminate abuse of laws applied literally, immigration fuckery, and even federal harassment of legal cannabis sale and use.
NY and CA are already mad as hell.

We take you live to the office of Steve Bannon...
The marijuana issue will be interesting as well. It's legal now in many states but still illegal on a federal level I believe?
I meant 'travesty' more from an organisational, scandal-avoidance standpoint. The Comey letter hurt Hillary, but Trump's dark confirmation speech and the bus tape hurt him too.
I agree with you, Trump turned the GOP platform into the white person's protection party in a way that most Republican nominees have clearly tried to avoid doing, at least overtly. I just don't think Trump would've been able to do that if we had a Joe Biden as nominee. His approval rating in PA was above 50%, Hillary's was around 23% in places like Scranton.
It's technically still entirely illegal at federal level, and even medical research is extremely hampered. Under Obama there was a "hands off" policy regarding states where it was legal. I believe, before Obama, there were dust-ups with states that had medical cannabis outlets. The feds sent in the stormtroopers to destroy stores legal in those states and arrest legitimate business owners, as a display of authority and power over states.
With Sessions, you'd think he would want to do that sort of thing but many more states are legalized, a majority of the country wants it, and it's making money.
In 2012 Romney won WV 62% to Obama's 36%
In 2012 Joe Manchin won re-election 61% to 37%
WV votes are racists who also find Democratic labor/econ policy preferable to Republican labor/econ policy. They prioritize their racism over economics like most Southern whites, but if you have a racist Democrat who supports labor vs. a racist Republican who supports big business, they will vote for the racist Democrat.
Manchin is a racist union guy, which is why he is able to be successful in WV.
and like it or not Democrats need these racist labor types if they want to have any sort of governing power while the Senate is still a thing. There are more tiny states that are mostly white than there are multicultural states with huge minority populations. Having everyone run on Social Justice gives the Dems a hard ceiling of about 40 to 45 senators. If anything the Democrats need more Manchin-types running in places like Iowa, the Dakotas, Kentucky, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, and Maine.
So those phone calls clearly aren't working and I'm not sure if America can afford to wait till midterms to change course. What options are left? Seems like people are still unwilling to go on strike and shit.
Stay safe minorities, cause there will be no justice for you
A proud racist as AG. I just...can't anymore.
Looking at this cabinet from hell, and who we had holding those same positions just a few weeks ago, is absolutely crushing.
Four years, four fucking years. I want off this ride.
