(7,299 posts)second class citizens and black and brown people were irrelevant. You overestimate your Republican friends. They fear the future. Trump knows his dictatorial powers depend on his pleasing his political base. Your Republican friends are celebrating today IMO.

Most who voted for him only did so in voting against Clinton and not his policies and now they find out he's truly going to implement his policies they stop away.
A good tell tale is how much any of them want to talk about MiniPoot... the more they act as if he doesn't exist the more we know 18 is leaning our way
