    The most unfortunate thing is that the pain and suffering will not only be limited to the people who supported Trump and his policies. Everyone is going to pay for their poor choices.

      I’m going to say something that’ll probably get me a lot of down votes here.

      I think maybe we all deserve a little bit of pain. This country has done some fucking god-awful things to the rest of the world in the last 60+ years. I just watched a documentary on some of the crap we’ve done to Puerto Ricans, who BTW are actually full citizens of the United States. And they have been continuously and horrendously mistreated by our country all in the name of profit for the rest of the country. Look up the origin of the phrase “banana republic” and look at what we have done to 3rd world countries around the globe that have resources that our country has desired. So, maybe we deserve it. Maybe we deserve to feel some pain. And maybe that pain will help us to understand where we went wrong.
