You so partisan, you missed your opportunity to help them out. You're screwed dude. I assume that climate change and further enriching tycoons and making black people feel better about themselves is more important to you from a political perspective than helping them save their jobs. I haven't figured out whether your mind is warped or your a two faced piece of crap. Either or, your pretty much screwed at this point. Yep, Trump was defeated but Trump ain't going away anytime soon. If Twitter won't let you speak, you create an alternative to Twitter and play the same game as Twitter and Facebook has played with Conservatives and Donald Trump. Like I've said, you's guys are so stupid it's unbelievable. It's no wonder why you guys get blind sided so much these days.
A society polarized into a few rich people and a proletariat of destitute toilers is typically one famine or one military calamity away from a Jacobin or Bolshevik revolution.
Beginning with Nixon, who partially revived his activity as a diplomat-in-all-but-name, ex-Presidents have had some involvement in American life after the President unless they went senile (Reagan) or became near-recluses (Dubya). Trump has much to offer his cult, but little to offer anyone else. He is already a sick, stale joke. Contrast Barack Obama, who is welcome almost everywhere in the world. He did little bad and much good, and he says some wise things that people like to hear. Trump is simply a shock jock, someone more likely to offend than to inspire. Trump's style is distinctly 3T, and any practice or trend from the 3T had better be really good to survive through the 4T.
