  1. I've often thought along the same lines. And Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real thing, and the last, spiteful, money-grubbing act of "crumbling media" is to infect as many as possible with it. It is very true that a LOT of people think it's funny as hell that millions hang on every tweet. I see Syndromers all the time, at work and socially. They HATE the man. BOILING hatred. Want him DEAD. As a Libertarian, at heart, I've always been disappointed by our refusal to govern ourselves, intelligently. My guy NEVER wins. But I've always just hoped for the best - and seen some of the best coming out in Dave Rubin Report and other outside-of-mainstream outlets - and expected the worst. And yes, if Hillary had won, things would've continued more or less the same as Obama, with an Iron Lady hawkishness abroad that nobody anticipated. I think folks are right when they say Republicans start wars. But nobody pays attention to how Democrats escalate the tensions and leave the pot simmering, hoping it doesn't boil over, but if it does, it gives them emergency powers and a nice bump in popularity.

  2. Trumpsters are a pretty broad coalition, with some of the loudest being the most deplorable, mixed in with lefty provocateurs and lefty-bots saying outrageous things they imagine anybody who didn't vote Hillary must think.

  3. I think the country is more left than the election suggests. If Hillary hadn't stolen the vote from Bernie, I think he maybe wins the nomination and the center-left coalition would've been plenty to out-vote the heartland. I think disaffected lefties stayed away in droves.
