Trump and his supporters are the fat kid in the back of the classroom throwing spitballs all year.

Someone finally clocks him in the head - and he runs to the teacher crying hysterically, demanding that the nasty perpetrators are punished.

It's so cute, watching them complain bitterly about having it served back to them.

Spoiler: show

Second only to the Dems that did so in April 2016.

as an American, one of the biggest concerns I would have regarding a Trump presidency is not just what he would do if elected, because congress can always try to stymie or impeach him; but rather, what would the impact on the tenor/dialogue of the population be like? what would the social impact be? When George W Bush was in office it felt like it was impossible to have a sane conversation with a person. Everything was terror this and support your troops that and all the imbeciles were on a high horse and brought their megaphones into every room to dominate and drown out any reasonable conversation. there was goddamn endless over use of the american flag, you'd fucking see it everywhere and what it looked to represent in that era just starts to make you nauseous.

then that ended. praise obama. the tea partiers have been annoying, but they have not dominated the national discourse; and they don't have "their man" in office so as they crum-bum about in society they are less inclined to start beerhall putsching all over the place at will. having a reasonable conversation is expected. eccentric hatred and recitation of right-wing catch phrase dogma is subject to intense scrutiny at a national level.

but with Drumpf at the helm, mouth-breathers everywhere would have their day. they would rule the roost spewing nonsensical backward garbage this way and that. and it would be impossible again to have a conversation about anything sane without some loudmouth ignoramus jumping in and shitting all over everything.

i can't handle another 4 or 8 years of national witch hunt-grade dialogue

i feel terrible for the UK because the mouth-breathers appear to have won
