Regardless of who you voted for, and who won, the spread or difference was remarkably close.  I was on the losing side of this election, but will likely be fine, I am male and white.  That is not a shot, but truth.

I can be deplorable when needed, believe in Affirmative Action, meet you at the club for lunch and think unions are necessary.

I did not really believe in hope and change earlier and do not believe that making america great again is feasible, we already are a pretty great, and way better than all the others.

We are great because we are mutts, we are the great experiment, without immigration, we do not exist.  Pure bred anything is a problem.  The good part is when government swings too far one way, it inevitably swings hard the other way.

The rules – The weakest who wait, will remain weak, the strongest who get greedy will sow the seeds of their own destruction.  The people in the middle strive.  It has proven itself time and time again, every 3-4 generations we need a reset.  We are trying that now, it is unlikely to work because technology moves faster than people and the world is a small place.  But we will try.  The march of automation and algorithms will continue to eliminate sectors one by one.

I missed it all starting …  I for one cannot believe how far the entire world has swung from International globalism to a Nationalistic populism.  I missed it starting … but hear its drumbeat.   I do not like it much for my children or grand children as they will likely pay the price, if there is a price to be paid.

I still have to ask, were half the people wrong in this election? or half the people right ??  How about the last election ?  who was right and who was wrong ?

I was told by a Trumpian, it wasn’t their candidate they wanted,  they wanted his willingness to shake up the government.  I reminded him the system is there for a purpose. Sorry to be the realist.

I also spoke to the other side, “she had a history, but he wanted “her” over him.  Not a ringing endorsement.

I also know many women who remember an earlier world and how disappointed they are, that younger generations of women do not understand and take certain things for granted.

The supreme court is a 20-30 year term. No comment, seems necessary. Although 30 more years of a conservative court seems a bit much.
