On the edge of a cliff

Finally the carnage is just about done. It's almost hard to believe but the election cycle from hell comes to a close tomorrow. Billions of dollars, words and eye rolls have brought us all to this place...staring into the abyss, hoping for the best but not believing it until the final declaration is made.

Despite the ludicrous nature of this entire process and the unlikely ascendancy of one Mr Drumph, Hilary Clinton should be elected as first female President of the Untied States. Knock on wood, because anything can and probably will happen. Drumph's refusal to acknowledge her as the victor aside, we should wake up on Wednesday to the coming new reality. A despondent and fractured Republican Congress, a possible Democratic Senate and a rather reviled Democrat President. Can you say grid lock and insanity? Well...say it, because that's pretty much what we're getting. And while that is infinitely better than the alternative of a Drumph presidency, it ain't gonna be a picnic for Madame President. Picture what Obama went through over the past eight years times ten...and that will be the real tragedy of electing her, the white boys club that will do whatever it can to avoid anything resembling governing in the interest of posturing and demagoguery.

If there is a God he would wipe out the Republicans, not in the biblical sense, but electorally. I think only then could one hope that they rebuild the common sense party into just that, as opposed to what the tea baggers and bible thumpers have hijacked the conservative arm of the country in to. The US, like Canada, is actually pretty evenly divided with liberals and conservatives but the far right, with God on their side, are yelling too loud for the moderates to be heard. Time to hit reset I think.

First a black President, now a woman. Nice, but I'll be truly amazed when an atheist transgender Muslim is elected with a Congress that reflects the actual make up of the country. Now that would be the highest glass ceiling don't you think?

In any event, I think I speak for many when I say, Mr Drumph, we hope to never hear your stupid voice, see your stupid face and hair and have to ponder the hatred and fear that you spout. Go back to that gilded cage you built and try launching another reality show or something. Fuck you!
