I get it. You do not care for the President of the United States. The beauty of the American experience is that THIS OPINION is OK. You have every right to express your thoughts in this regard and of course work for another outcome the next time around.
Thankfully, we are living in a country that guarantees the freedom of expression. Most of the time we do not have to be fearful of expressing our thoughts about any election outcome. However defective (or not) the American Presidential election system is, it is the same system that has been used for quit a few years now. The system produced our current results.
We, the American people voted in a new President. It does not take a rocket scientist to surmise that the current President is extremely hated by a good number of very vocal folks.
I do not want to debate just how powerful the office of the President truly is. But however powerful that office is, it is fairly clear that there is a concerted effort to block the President from exercising whatever powers he does have. Possibly, changing the nature of the Presidency forever. As a side note, disrupting the delicate balance of power of our system by diminishing the Presidency may not be a good thing over the long run. Just, saying.
From time to time, we joke about raising kids and telling them "Do what I say, NOT what I do", they seem to learn how to effectively follow our actions, not our words. Imagine, that? Therefore, those that have made every effort to cripple the Presidency because they loathe him, are setting a behavioral pattern that others are learning from.
The next President (could be Oprah *smile*), has a pretty rocky road to travel on.
Tables will turn and new opponents of the President will certainly perfect that which they have learned from the current brand.
My Oh My (*sad face*)
So, what do you think??? Civil discourse is a good thing.
