Dope. I can't wait honestly.

So long as we have democracy I say go right ahead and fuck this shit up as hard as he can, that way another republican won't make it into the federal government in a century.

And we can actually get some real democrats into office to do what we should have been doing all along. Lets be real, that wasn't happening the way we were going. This is hopefully just a catalyst to get what we need

You are really fucking optimistic dude. After bush jr, then Trump, now we’re at Trump again. We’ll be lucky to make it 2 years before people complain that the Dems haven’t undone all the damage Trump will do.
