We’re apparently fated to spend at least the next 4 years as something between the opposition & dissidents. That’s grim news, but tons of our forebears & comrades around the world have triumphed in worse situations. And more importantly, we owe it to each other and to our children to keep fighting.

A suggestion: Judge Trump based on his actions not on what the media says he said.

Nothing bad happened during his 1st presidency, in fact, it was quite decent.
Low inflation, no wars ( thats something) , the Abraham Accords...

1. Blurted top secret information to the Russian ambassador. https://www.npr.org/2017/05/15/528511980/report-trump-gave-classified-information-to-russians-during-white-house-visit

2. Routinely denigrates our alliances and talks about them like they’re a protection racket. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/mr-trump-nato-is-an-alliance-not-a-protection-racket/2016/07/25/03ca2712-527d-11e6-88eb-7dda4e2f2aec_story.html

3. Openly took millions in bribes from foreign governments, including through the hotel he set up down the street from the WH for that purpose. https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-reports/trump-likely-benefited-from-13-6-million-in-payments-from-foreign-governments-during-his-presidency/
