That's because Trump lemmings are rank hypocrites.

Are you serious with this? Have you been following things at all since Jan 20? Trump has--or has attempted to--stock his cabinet and appoint agency heads who are nothing but billionaire corporate cronies. Many of them--DeVos, Perry--have long been openly hostile to the very departments they are now tasked with heading.

Their chief aim is to fail, depleting those agencies and running them as inefficiently as possible so they can throw up their hands, shrug their shoulders and say "See? Government doesn't work!"

They will then deregulate and privatize everything possible (this is already in process) so they and their billionaire corporate buddies can rape the earth, screw large populations of people and rake in historic profits in addition to enjoying subsidies, incentives and tax breaks paid for by the average American taxpayer.

Anyone who fell for the "drain the swamp, make us great again, blahblahblah" line is a simpleminded dupe. Trump is a well-known and admitted fraud and liar. Many times over.

And anyone who thought (or thinks still) that Trump gives a single crap about American citizens (aside from his elitist billionaire cronies) or the Constitution, is far too stupid to be voting. Or breeding.

And before any of the Trump lemmings show up with their whining BS saying "But...Obaaama! Hillllary!" allow me to add: I'm not a dem, despise Clinton and yes, I acknowledge (and frequently speak to) the fact that Dems are also corrupt corporate w h o r e s.

I'm going on a National Park tour this spring. It may be my last chance before they are sold off as amusement parks or abandoned all together.

Who wants to travel to see that?
The only place you might find an "oil derrick" is in some sort of Museum.
You don't know much about the oil business.

Are you worried Trump supporters will kill jobs and create them else where?
Create what jobs? Turns out if need a service i am a job creator to be worshipped at the populist altar.
I wouldn't worry about the trump family they are going to have Putin money by the time the impeachment rolls around. Trump hotels in the bottom 30% of occupancy rates among luxury hotels for the last 3 years, turns out they are so confident in the trump economy they are tripling their hotels, or is as crooked as it seems.

I believe in capitalism so the left can choose wherever they want to spend their money and let's see how great some businesses will do.

Starbucks will do great in big liberal cities amongst the left and anarchist who seem to love to smash their windows.

People who thought Starbucks was overrated and over priced may now easier go else where.

People have choices which is great. Just like voting for the popular vote and electoral vote

One chooses the President and the other....
