Let's start here with we're all okay, and as to the details of what's going on, we don't really know. More assuredly, our influence is not great. If we can view our guesses as guesses, it will be much easier to cut each other some slack and begin at home as it were. We don't have to agree on much, and better anyway to find where we agree. If it comes to getting personal, this forum will lose much attraction for this personal expression.
I'm not guessing Saty. I'm breaking up nail-gun fights at work. Cracker felons all walking around like pigs in shit. Mexicans confused and scared. Missed a day of work to stay out of some bad shit, and my last paycheck doesn't cover my heat bill due. But yeah I am OK, and
Rhino has my respect but very little sympathy,
I just watched quite a movie tonight, mistakenly ordered from Netflix, as it was all subtitles, and being dyslexic, I must pause for every bit if the dialog, and this movie was dialog driven. The movie was called, Tangerines. I am very glad I got to see it.
Professional politicians have been murdering, robing, energy draining, and life extracting us since day one. Now we have a professional businessman doing the same. It's sad to see/hear people actively supporting this man and his policies. Give him a chance??? Really? It's not like he has not proved to all over the past few decades who he is. There was no gem of a candidate, and I've got no confidence or love for government. But I've got plenty of both for all the people, plants, animals,
Being anti trade deals doesn't erase his xenophobic rhetoric or policies. Supposedly he's also investigating vaccines, but guess what...Big pharma isn't going anywhere. And yes, we may be a few steps further from war with Russia, but we have surely moved towards confrontation with many more nations.
No politician will save us. No businessman. No corporation. No nation.
Let's love, help, care for each other. Our family needs us.

Trump is planning to introduce " new tech" into America's workplaces....18 months..quietly changing the playing field...
Not the new/ancient tech found in Antartica..... That is reserved for the black projects/space program...
Instead our "old tech" outdated in the black projects arena, is coming out...
Standing Rock and all the other "oil" disputes will disappear as we move forward....
Soft disclosure is happening...

So, I'm just going to chime in and say that I live in Wyoming. Arguably the reddest state in the union, and with the most relaxed gun laws. You don't have to have a license to conceal-carry here. I'm not anti-gun. I own one myself. But I don't have an itchy trigger finger like 70% of the people in my town. I'm not the kind of guy who would take my new gun to the range saying "Time to go play with my new toy." But that's how a lot of these guys around here are. These are my neighbors.
I worked in the oil field here. My bosses were always talking conspiracy, but only conspiracy that protected their right-wing worldview and shamed "liberals" or in other words, anybody that's not hateful and white. I won't stoop to using the term "alt-right", because fuck the language the MSM is trying to fill our mouths with, but I've definitely had my fill of people from that neck of the political woods, and interacted with them on a personal basis for months on end. There's a huge concentration of violent bigots in my area.
I really do have fears of roving bands of rednecks looking for people different from them. People looking to combat the liberal menace, or whatever the fuck they tell themselves. Probably that they're a citizen militia doing the lord's work. The point is, these people who were already prone to ignorance and violence, have been rallied by Trump's messages. They're braver with their intolerance. This isn't some shit I've been sold on by the liberal news media. I've seen it first hand. A lot of these guys are just waiting for their chance, and shit, some of them have probably already organized a bit with their buddies.
If there's going to be a fascist uprising in this country, I almost guarantee you it will start here.

Sounds so reminiscent of the Brown Shirts. A case study of how a small percentage can leverage huge political change.
...a republic, if you can keep it. Thanks for the warning, Ben, but we may have lost it in and around 1947.

I'm fairly on board with the rest of your post, and despite what I'm about to say I still do think he's better than Hillary. But to say that Trump is straightforward, honest, family oriented and loves good ol' fashion American ideals and values is just not true if you ask me. He is a charlatan, he is the inheritor of a multimillion dollar real estate empire who is on his 3rd mail order wife and whose great success in life has been in branding and marketing. A born millionaire who has convinced people he is a self made man. He is famous for shorting contractors, using illegal labor, skimping on projects beyond the façade, and using slick financial techniques to leverage his failures. I think he's better than Hillary because I think his win represents turmoil behind the scenes but I can not and will not get on board with this narrative that's been coming out claiming that he is some sort of moral human who gives a flying fuck about the majority of Americans.
This about sums it up. You aren't alone. I have worked as a white carpenter in Oregon for 20 years, and I deal with all this shit everyday. Illegitimi non carborundum (translation: morons, ugh!)
There is a strike tomorrow. Support your brown brothers and sisters.
