The Pottery Barn Rule

Well, congratulations, Trump supporters.  It looks like you got what you wanted.  What you think you wanted, anyway.  So go ahead and celebrate.  Shoot your gun, drink some beer, grab someone by the 'whatever' --- whatever you do to celebrate.  No sense in everyone being miserable.

But when you're done celebrating, I have an important message for you: you own this.  You break it, you bought it.  It appears that a lot of you had removed yourselves from the democratic process because you didn't think any of the candidates spoke for you.  Apparently, Trump won mainly by energizing a large group of people who don't normally vote.  You're the ones I'm talking to now.

The time is coming, and it's going to be soon, when you realize that you've made a horrible, horrible mistake.  I give it a year, tops.  And when that happens, you DON'T get to go back to not caring about the system.  Like I said, YOU OWN THIS.  So in 4 years, after it's become clear that Trump has driven our country straight into oblivion, it is ON YOU to fix the mess you made.

That means voting for whoever the Democrats nominate.  And I mean WHOEVER the Democrats nominate, even if she's a transgender lesbian Mexican.  AND for every other Democrat on your ballot.

You voted for Trump because you think he'll 'shake things up', and he will.  So will an earthquake or a tornado.  So when that's over, YOU need to work with people like me to 'shake things up' in the right way by getting Trump out of the White House and getting enough Democrats in Congress to make sure she can fix everything that needs fixing.

That is all.
