I too am okay with Trump being gone. What I am not okay with is how it's being done. Long term this is disastrous for our election process. Trust is virtually wiped out, and it's going to cut both ways down the road.Again, I'm not - in any way - excusing anything Trump has said or done during the course of this election. And again, I am happy he is going away.
All I am saying is that we should have taken extra care to provide a very transparent process. We did not. And because of it we will suffer, and we can't throw stones at other countries that aren't transparent.
Most of America is rolling over for this because in the short term a Trump victory would have brought violence and chaos on a mass scale, perhaps as we have never seen before. Who wants that? I mean really, no sane person actually wants some "civil war". So in the short term we dodge that bullet, but longer term it's going to be the chosen strategy. Eventually it does blow up into an actual streetfighter, but for now we kick the can down the road. I don't envy the young in this country.
Honestly I swing between relief and shame watching this unfold. Relieved the fight has been delayed, ashamed of being some frighted old man. Real bitch getting old. I suppose still having something to lose plays a part in all of this. One day that too will be gone and that is when the shit hits the fan.
