Being from Queens , I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt the first time. Now I look forward to the next president, who, God willing, will be a Californian.
I think we should still be proud of that concept. But profoundly humbled by the fact that rens if millions were so willing to vote for someone so unfathomably incompetent out of hate, ignorance, & apathy.
Maybe this major 💩 show will lead us to re-work some substantial issues in the Constitution, though we’ll likely need more pain, and probably substantially so, before there would be enough support for such a process.
An entertainment source calling itself News. Also, republicans working so hard to defund public education for decades. The fact that they work so hard to undermine public education should push people even harder to support public education and higher ed.
Cult of personality is a large part of the problems with those elected (and not elected to office). I remember when people said they voted for George W because he seemed like “someone they could have a beer with” and look at how that turned out
I had just started teaching at a Title 1 school when President Obama won. Most of the k8ds were black and the look of pride on their faces was something I'll never forget.
You have to blame the lying press and the voters who believed them.
Why can't people do their own research? Every lie he ever told could be proven false. And, why do people vote their own party, no matter had hateful and criminal that candidate may be. Blows my mind!
Had a professor in undergrad who predicted all of this about 20 years ago. He said eventually America will elect a reality TV or social media personality, a "Hollywood creation". I remember him saying it will be a good thing AND a bad thing. A Kim Kardashian type person. I'd take that now over this.
25 years ago I called radio talk shows and told them that Republicans were using Nazi propaganda tactics. They would hang up on me saying I loose the argument as soon as I use the word 'Nazi'. Godwins law, they called it. Now they are still on the air talking about the Nazis running though Congress.
Maybe the worst president should also be the last one? Maybe rethink this whole ridiculous concept of the executive branch. Clearly humans aren't to trusted with that much power
Guilty rapists, convicted felons and notorious business frauds and tax cheats were considered unqualified for elected office…until a cult took over America

This is the first malignant narcissist America's ever elected. Perhaps we should examine how that happened.
Where did America fail? Vulture capitalism?
And pass new legislation making felons and criminals unable to run for any public office.

It should never have been something we were proud of, to be honest. The second Bush should have been a point of shame and a wake-up call.
The U. S. electing Trump is like someone dating an abuser that almost killed you, leaving them, and then dating one who WILL kill you.
