Welp, didn't see that coming.
I didn't stay up to watch the breathtaking excitement of the returns coming in last night, instead opting to get a good nights sleep so I can continue on my exercise program that I'm trying to be serious about. I almost wish I'd stayed up just to watch the faces of the political types on CNN or CBS or whatever as the news sunk in that fucking Trump had won.
While I'm not a fan of our former first lady, I thought for sure the remainder of the idiots that make up our great country would cancel out my vote and elect Hillary.
Now, I'm just (sort of) a good ole boy from Louisiana, but even I could tell there was a "hidden" vote for Trump. La is a pretty country/redneck kind of state, but I think a lot of people even here said what they thought friends and family wanted to hear...until the voting booth closed behind them.
I also think that the Democratic party in particular and the Republican party to a slightly lesser extent has completely lost touch with most of America, AKA the flyover states. They think that the stock market is good, and the Internet companies out in Cali are minting cash, so everything must be good. To paraphrase College Gameday, "not so fast my friend". I know me and a bunch of my friends are tired of paying for everything with our taxes, seeing little benefit (personally) from it, and also being blamed for the majority of the ills that afflict America (real or imagined).
More to come when I have time...
Later
