USA - you have my sympathy.
I will never understand how any woman, LGBT person, African-American, Hispanic person, or low-paid working-class person can vote for that bunch of self-serving, greedy, misogynistic, ignorant, bigoted, racists, who have sold their souls to big business, and who have the nerve to call themselves by the name that once belonged to a political party that stood for something. Something grand. But, apparently, vote they do, in their tens of thousands
No, it's not my country. But, yes, I'm entitled to an opinion, because the things that the climate-change denying, GMO promoting, Creationist, war-mongers will do will affect the rest of the world. When America sneezes Europe catches a cold.
The bunch of political self-servers who have sat in Congress and for the past six years blocked every attempt to better the lives of millions of citizens. Refused to pay women a fair wage. Refused help for returning military personnel. Closed women's health programmes. Decimated schools. And favoured their rich bosses with bigger tax-cuts for shipping jobs and funds overseas. They may be celebrating their gains today but - guess what - the president is still black. And nothing will ever convince me that that isn't the chief problem they have with him.
Goodnight and may your God/s go with you

I agree with you that far too many of my fellow Americans have a virulent hatred of our President because of his skin color. But when it comes to the Republicans, we saw a lot of this same hatred with Clinton. The fact that he has the temerity to be a Democrat *and* he will have served two terms makes him someone to be despised. Presidents who are Democrats can do nothing right according to many Republicans. They are so invested in this belief that they will go to any lengths to make it a reality...including making it impossible for government to do its job by refusing to actually govern.
Sadly this isn't the first time I've seen something like this play out. It baffles me that the folks who have been fucking things up get rewarded. As long as it works, however, the Republicans will keep on doing it.
