is surprised by this election. After all, this is what the Republican party has grown into over the last few decades or so. The main factors of underline racism/bigotry has always been there, along with the gradual corporate takeover of America, which so many, especially non-voters appear to be okay with.

For most of my 67 years, I've seen this being played out and now here we are. A classic fascist leader has been put in charge of things, and those who put him in office are going to fight tooth-n-nail to maintain that status quo. Gonna be one epic battle.
