I'm fine with Pence. He seems to know that a presidency is not a dictatorship. He can take over this afternoon, for all I care.

Trump is really that bad.

There is no evidence of cheating. Just of DNC preference of candidate.

I think you can safely blame Democrats for not voting.

Don't count on four years.

I don't know if you have even a meager knowledge of history, but the outpouring against him is absolutely unprecedented. The day of his election, I thought we'd have four years. Now I don't think he'll last that long.

We are not all members of groups, based on EC votes, that tell us who we are supposed to support.

By that rationale, a person who voted Trump that lived in a blue state would be forced not to support him.

And, a person who voted for another candidate, but lived in a red state would be forced to support Trump.

No. That is not how human minds work.
Changing what our founding fathers established is not an option, just because your candidate lost. I believe they had human minds that worked.

Oh, I'm very much aware of it. I'm going to be enjoying every single day too.

I'm going to be complaining about Trump every day!!!

Talk about a stress reliever!

Not tracking what you are saying here.

I know Trump won the election. We have rules and by those, he won.

What I meant was that this doesn't change what people do or do not support in regards to policy or individuals.

In the state where I live, we are all or nothing with our EC votes. My entire county voted blue.

Does this mean that all the blue voters in my county are supposed to become overnight Trump supporters?

Nope.

That's not how it works.

Just means he won the election.

We are all free to think he sucks.

Yes.

In general, it is fair to say that the moderate right, the centrists, and the left completely understand this.

We understand consequences, too, which is why the conversation has already moved way beyond Trump's presidency.

Please try to stay caught up.
