Don't lose heart. The future has Democratic Party written all over it.
Trump won by the skin of his teeth and yes he is doing a lot of damage with the Supreme court possibly being his biggest legacy of holding things back. It can feel like one punch in the stomach after another. But there is reason for hope. Remember, generally after 8 years of one party the other party has the advantage but Trump still lost the popular vote soundly and squeaked by even with Russia and Comey paving the way for him. Yes, it's discouraging that he seems to be doing so much damage and taking us so far back in time but this is the last gasp of a white culture that is on it's way out of being a majority. Most Republicans are old and dying off and most Dems are young and will be more engaged in politics as they get older. I am a white male but I so look forward to the day that whites are no longer the majority but the minority and all the ethnicities mix together and become united and all this hateful, painful stuff can be left behind us in a heap of ashes.
That day is fast approaching as whites are predicted to be the minority by around 2040 even with Trump attempting to slow down immigration. That can't stop this as whites are having fewer kids and minorities are still have a lot of kids. Hell, even Texas is predicted to go blue in the next 10 years or so years. I live in New Mexico and we used to be a swing state but we are now solid blue! Lots of states are moving in this direction.
This is a wicked fucking storm we are in right now. A cat 5 hurricane of insanity being thrown at us by a racist who barely got in and has a 40% approval rating and ONLY has his base to cling to. Keep the boat headed for home because the storm will pass, the sun will break through and the future will be nothing but BLUE Ocean as far as we can see.
In the meantime we have to be aware that we are possibly on the precipice of something very sinister as Malcolm Nance has warned and we need to work in the next two elections harder than we ever have before. We have to rise up like a Phoenix from the ashes and inflice brutal defeats across the land and bring the dawning of the blue ocean of states upon us starting this Nov. and never look back. But the day will come 5 or 10 or 15 years from now when OUR visions and values start bearing fruit because every demographic suggests we are headed in that direction. If we can survive this storm I think we will be able to breath a sigh of relief and look forward to a future when all ethnicities start to live together in harmony and Donald Trump will be looked back upon as a blip of darkness that people can laugh about as nothing but a big fucking joke that failed to divide us.
