Scattered thoughts after Trump's victory:
- It's shocking, overwhelming, depressing, bleak.
- I waited until after 8 pm to even begin looking at election results, expecting to see how big a margin HRC had. It actually took me a few minutes to realize how bad things looked.
- As I've always thought, we should eliminate the Electoral College and elect the President by popular vote. That, of course, would change yesterday's outcome!
- I'm glad none of my friends voted for Trump. I'm disgusted to live among so many millions who would vote for such a charlatan.
- I'm sorry so many people apparently don't like where we've been headed during Obama. I'm generally happy with it, and I always prefer to look forward, not backward.
- I'm glad only 33% of Californians, and less than 24% of L.A. County voted for Trump.
- Celebrity trumps (!) all.
- It's the death of political polling. How could they all get it so wrong?
- I'm sorry that the death of the Republican Party I have long hoped for and predicted is now out of sight.
- I'm scared for the future Supreme Court. Fortunately, I think gay rights are now firmly in place, but I worry about economic and political issues.
- We need to bring back the American Travelers Apology T-shirt of the early 2000s, which says, in six languages: "I'm sorry my president's an idiot. I didn't vote for him."
- I suspect this blog may return to its title and original purpose in the years to come.
- I may spend more time in Yucatán!
