Hate to be the doom and gloom guy but I just see little if any reason to be optimistic. Trump is Trump. He is not going to change. When he got into the primary they said he will stop being that guy from the reality show. He didn't. Halfway thru the primary his people started to try and get him to stay more on message and they all got canned. He didn't change. When he won the nomination, now, Now he would start acting more presidential. Nope. Never happened.
And now that he is president people are trying to say we will see the real Trump finally. Are you effing serious! If people haven't figured out that the Trump they have seen through this entire process is the only Trump there is, they are idiots.
His VP is such an extremely radical christian he makes a member of the Spanish Inquisition look like a choir boy. One person sure to be high in the ranks of a Trump administration will be Bannon, rabid conservative attack dog formerly of Breitbart. Breitbart! One of the sickest, meanest, most dishonest organizations in the country. No lie too outrageous to publish. Not to mention the rest of his basket of despicables, Christie Bully Boy, Juliani the Mighty Moron, Newt the Corrupt who makes Clinton look like a piker by comparison.
And that is just the shortest of the short list. Sorry, man. There doesn't seem to be much room for optimism.
What else can we do? Me, I'm starting to prepare to batten down the hatches and do everything I can do to protect my family against the tidal wave of horror that is coming. Hate to sound like the guy running around wailing 'the sky is falling, the sky is falling'. I'm not a melodramatic type by nature, but in this case I'm not convinced it isn't justified.
As I've said on here many times already, if it turns out that little of the above happens, I will gladly accept the fool's cap for being so completely wrong!
