There was no massive or significant voter fraud. This election reflects the will of the people. I don’t have to like it, but I do accept it.

Trump has a mandate (of sorts), and the constitutional legitimacy he sought, but more important, he also has the House, the Senate, most of the governorships and local offices and before long, he’ll have the Supreme Court as well. This will gradually morph into the dictatorship of the middle class. America will get the government it deserves.

History repeats itself. Mr Trump has all the power, and he did it legally, democratically and constitutionally. The sense of deja vu is overwhelming, but not totally unexpected.

Did you read Lee’s cheerful little post below? It’s pretty clear Weimar Amerika is now behind us. I plan to dive deep, below the thermocline, and rig for silent running. Its not safe on the surface any more.
