And now for something completely different...The Revolution has begun

And now for something completely different….The Revolution has begun.

We've heard enough about the angry white voters who put Trump in. Now, there's another story to tell. Not only of the Bernie supporters and the minorities in this country, but the rest of the Democratic base that has seen dissatisfaction in the rank and file and a growing split in the party loyalty. If the left isn't united to face what is coming, and we know there is a storm coming that will hit like a Tsunami, then we will always be on the losing side. The message isn't simply about change. It's a message of hope and optimism that has been the story of America. It was Reagan's story. It was Obama's story. That was the message that we fought and the one we hoped would prevail. Hillary said, "He's shown us who he is, now we have to show the world who WE are." We did.

We heard Hillary talk of Love trumping hate and being Stronger Together. And then there was Trump. The Dark side of the Force has won. Not only Trump, but dark money in politics. The politics of division and hate. Of Us vs Them and the otherness of America. The underlying message of racism and bigotry that was implicit in each large rally Trump held. And the group of men with deplorable morals and temperament who surround Trump. John Cleese likened them to a gang of pirates. They have control of our government. The Revolution was something to talk of as a metaphorical event that was needed to change America. Well, my friends, the Revolution has begun.

The mantra on the street is "Not my President!" It should be added, with each problem dropped into our national discussion with each passing day that Trump rules, it should be added that "it's not my problem". Surely, it's America's problems that we must deal with as a country together. But the shit storm that is unleashed with this election should also include the following: The Media was culpable for much of the rise of Donald Trump. The Right wing did its part through their unrelenting messages of hate and division that worked against Obama and all other candidates to bring them down.

The FBI and the KGB-Putin partnership helped to bring this election to this conclusion. And the final nail in the coffin was an uninformed Electorate and the angry voters who wanted to blow up the government with Trump. They got their wish and it should be noted that Trump lost the popular vote. Half the country wanted a different outcome. And they feel he's not their president, and it's not their problem. It is indeed America's problem, but be careful what you wish for. The Revolution has begun.
