Well, I did not see this coming.
I am stunned to learn that I'm in the minority of the American voters who showed-up for the Presidential election last Tuesday.
I honestly did not believe that anyone with basic common sense, a shred of decency and belief in the rule of law would vote for Trump. But I am duly informed that we do not always see things the same way as others do.
After the majority of people who actually worked in his government refused to support him, claiming that he is "unfit for the office" I sort of wrote him off. (If you can't get the support of people who know you best, it would sem to be a no-brainer for citizens to choose a different candidate.)
I knew that his base -- MAGA -- had consistently supported him, despite his contempt for truth, fact and decency, but I guess his message of intolerance and toxic nationalism appealed to a much wider swath of the uneducated/uninformed than I had imagined.
