It's settling in.
On January 20, 2017 Donald Trump will be President.
My first reaction is, "How could people in their right mind vote for this man?"
Ultimately, none of us should be surprised that Hillary Clinton failed to win on her second try.
My theory is that Team Hillary always believed that they were entitled to the Democratic nomination and the presidency. I posited in 2008 that her battle plan was to make sure any primary challenge was over and done with in February in a Year when, for all sorts of reasons, California had its presidential primary then. That didn't happen and we all know the aftermath of that one.
One would think after being drubbed due to a sense of entitlement, there would be a rethink of the premise that the presidency is owed to someone. That didn't seem to happen. Only the tactics changed to make sure she got the nomination with a complete ignorance of the root cause of why 2008 did not happen for her.
It was a good run, and I wish her well in her future endeavors.
So, where does that lead me now?
As a Gay Latino, I really am fearful of what is happening. So, I'm building my escape hatch should all hell break loose. Should the country destabilize, I don't want to be around for my safety.
Which means it's off to Mexico for relationship maintenance until January due to a lot of things going down.
More to come.
