  You just don’t seem mad. Maybe upset but like you’ll get over it in like 4 years or what ever.

    I’m optimistic that in four years we’ll have an opportunity to start rebuilding. I can only hope our friends abroad have patience while we go through our meltdown, that somehow there’s enough economic inertia to control acceleration of climate change, and that mst of us can keep our heads above water.

    Then again, I’m trying to figure out how to tell my son we can’t afford his first choice college because of financial aid changes made by republicans during trumps first term, taking effect now

      I’m telling you now, four years will be to late. There is no world where you let authoritarians walk all over you for four years and they just go away.
