You don't really understand why people didn't want Hillary's brand of "experience" and "stability", do you?
Sure, I can understand that. But it's still all relative. Hillary, however much one might not like her or approve of her or want to go where she wants to go and however much she has been targeted by relentless opponents, remains within normal tolerances for an adult human and has the knowledge, experience, and temperament to be president. Trump never passed the laugh test on either count.
You must feel pretty damn safe and secure where you are.
I am not actively engaging in any of this resistance hyperactivity. I'm cool. I am prepared to step up and intervene if need be to help people I encounter who are being harmed but I have not yet been faced with such a situation. I have posted before that I have always operated concurrently in two different modes, interested party and disinterested party. The interested party emphatically voted neverTrump. The election is over. Trump is president. The disinterested party, the fly on the wall, the academic who grooves on observing a strange new world, is absolutely fascinated by this dystopian adventure triggered by an authoritarian enfant terrible. The interested party is not personally worried, at least not very. I am, indeed, "pretty damn safe and secure." To reach me personally he would have to utterly devastate the economy or literally blow things up, which is possible but not very likely.
But that's not what you meant, is it? |
