2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMichael Moore said a lot of worrisome things on The Last Word.
He was on tonight with Lawrence O'Donnell and spoke of his belief that Trump's laziness and incompetence will bring another horrible attack to the country. I also think that the people around him, so many who are as ill suited as he is to serve, are going to screw everything up right along with him. I am afraid that Moore may be right.
When George Bush became president I was angry. Now I am fearful, a fear the sits on my shoulder all day and actually is affecting my life.
I have little hope that the electors have the courage to refuse to vote for him. They are being shaken down in mob style bulling by people working in Trump transition team.

Trump needs to resign immediately, the sooner the better.

(3,251 posts)These people are stupid partisan Republicans, and they are just giddy at the prospect of total control of D.C. They don't give a SHIT Trump is a Russian puppet. They just don't.
By voting for Trump and not the popular vote winner, they are just as treasonous as Twitler.

(3,251 posts)He peddled the fiction about the aggrieved blue collar guys who voted for Trump because of the economy, which has been debunked as a pile of SHIT. They voted the same reasons all of the rest of the Trump voters did: immigration and Muslims, i.e., bigotry.
I just don't care what he has to say anymore.

(6,270 posts)Go watch the MessyTruth by Van Jones, immigration wasn't top priority for those voters. There are people who voted twice for Obama, switched to trump this time cause he cared to visit their towns and talked directly about the jobs.
Immigration was more of an issue for Florida voters and the west. We need to start brainstorming how to better connect with those voters if we want them to switch back in the next election. Right now we are alienating then even more. That what worries me the most about the future of democratic party.

(2,542 posts)He's finally relevant again. The 8 years of nothingness imposed on him by a Democratic president is over. No wonder he openly rooted for Trump before the election.
Fuck this fraud and his whole faction. Anti-Democrats like Moore should find the door and use it.

(2,542 posts)and worked to drive down Democratic participation with doom-and-gloom bullshit. He wasn't our ally, because it didn't serve his interests to be one. It served his interests for Trump, the subject of Moore's recent new documentary, to get elected.
He's ten gallons of shitbag in a five-gallon hat.
