I'm sorry Robert, but you are dead wrong. It wasn't the people that won this election with Trump, it was the plutocrats spending hundreds of millions of dollars to win elections across the country and convince people of things that are simply not true. The rich now own congress more than ever. The plutocrats control Washington, they've controlled Washington for 40 years. That is why all the gains that have been made in the last 40 years have gone to the top 1%. They've used that power and money to increase their hold on the country, getting citizens united, and now they own the whole country and it will be very difficult to dislodge them. We won nothing. We lost everything to the control by the rich. Ask yourself, who has the most power in this country. It is not Washington, it is the rich. The own Washington. As mentioned, the rich hire lobbyists that control Congress and spend hundreds of millions of dollars electing their people to Congress. When somebody running for Congress takes money from the very rich they owe them favors and have to do what they say. Wall street has 10 lobbyist's for for every member of congress. How many do the rest of us have? There's nobody left with any power to go to bat for the rest of us. People have just made a huge mistake. <<rich will simply get richer and the poor get poorer. Koan, I admire your heart. Your analytical skills, not so much. You should be cheering. The plutocrats have lost. They lost the republican primary and they lost the general election. The democrat republican thing is old hat. This is a movement. Just open your window and yell. youtube.com

Just open your window and yell. Sad to say, he's stuck in some huge losses and is super sad... at best. It's almost all dark in his version of reality. Maybe he'll actually adjust to a "corrected" reality, maybe not... Time elapsed will help IMO. Just open your window and yell. That may actually help, seriously.
