As most of you probably now know, a man who said "
Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything ... [w]hen you’re a star, they let you do it," is going to be arguably the most powerful person in the world. America elected him as their next president fair and square.
I live in America. Granted, i live in a blue city in a blue state on the west coast, but i still have Trumpaloes living literally right next door.
im less afraid of what Trump will do, but what Trumpaloes, whether they hold US governmental positions or not, will do. American government is designed so that i have a president, not a king or a fuhrer. Just because Trump is prez elect does not mean that the democratic half of the Senate or the House do not exist anymore. Just because Trump is prez elect does not mean that the
ACLU and all the beautiful people who aren't white heteronormative male men cant do anything.
The USA just one-upped Brexit. The international economy is already in shambles, and a global recession is almost certain. No one knows what is next or what Trump will actually do, but in many ways nothing has changed and we all still have what power we had.
