All of us who intentionally voted otherwise (aka the majority of Americans, thank God) knew.
A lot of those who voted for this deeply unqualified man, they knew too, but they were willing to gamble everything ... everything. Shame, shame.
Many voted to see if he would just gum it all up, turn into a headline fest of outrage. They are likely pleased, but still, not surprised.
What did we know? Trump is way out of his league, and his business practices are ragged secrets on the dark side.
As for me? My post from Nov. 9, 2016 says it well -
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, puh-leeeze welcome the 45th President of the United States -- you know him as a middling brand name product made from toxic materials, the Kmart of Billionaires, the golden-toned skeezy Gordon Gecko leftover, the C-list TV actor popular in Soviet bloc countries - one Donald Trump - and here we go on a slippery and rapid descent into political madness.
There has been no mass repudiation of politics-as-usual despite claims to the contrary, since the vast majority of folks already in office were re-elected yesterday.
Anger, seething for 8 years, directed at all those who dared support a non-white male president, has flowered with poison.
Yes, only the man who was born with solid-gold privileges can save Americans from solid-gold privileged men.
On a personal note, there is not one person in office in the state or nation that I voted for. Whatever is about to happen, it will not be my fault. I'll just be over here complaining and saying I told you so."
And you know what, oh constant readers? I freakin' told you so.
