You will be BEGGING for Clinton by next summer.
We can compare notes then. I have been in mourning for the last 8 years and finally have a glimmer of hope. I saw no hope with Clinton.
Mourning for WHAT? That Obama deported millions of illegal aliens? That he kept the nation safe from terrorists? That he asked for more gun laws, and didn't get them? That he appointed a couple of justices who weren't able to protect abortion or voting rights? That he gave health insurance to some people? That he passed some financial reform to keep the financial gamblers from ruining our economy again? That he kept the terrorists at bay without getting us into any ground wars for 8 years? What in GOD'S name do YOU have to "mourn" over?
Now it's time for folks like us to mourn. And we'll have plenty to mourn over. More species killed off for eternity. Coral reefs dying. Forests burned. Our air and water spoiled. Millions dying in storms, floods and fires. More innocent people killed off by crazy people with guns. More innocent lives abroad wiped out. Less and less opportunity for young people. More workers fired and exploited and abused and underpaid. An economy ruined again by trickle-down social darwinism. We'll have plenty to mourn over if Trump gets us involved in some stupid war because he was personally offended. If our rights to vote and speak get taken away.
YOU won't mourn, because now you have an ideologue of "freedom" to destroy and kill and despoil in the White House, someone who mouths nonsense about the "right to life" and the "freedom" to discriminate against gays. THAT will make you happy. You are so silly, so foolish.
