Taking this in a more purely political direction so I'm moving this snippet of the conversation on the main board over here....

Deb ms/IA Maybe this will explain things for you. It is pretty spot to what led to this election and what is happening in this nation. If you don't like what happened in this election what are going to do about it in 4 years? You better start discussing things and you better start being responsible for your choices.

Deb ms/IA The point is you reap what you sow. Society has taken us
down the Trump train and he is what we get. You don't like
it, then make some changes for making us a responsible
America instead of one that sucks off the government
bottle.

The video had far more then Beyonce as examples.

Kind of like how the Senators in the minority are already obstructing? The rules have been known for hundreds of years. The founders had their reasons for. Among such a system. If democrats want, they can start the process to change it. With so many more voters than Trump, I'm sure they could pass an amendment to the constitution.

Maybe you should tell that to all those that claim he is not their president or that he is illegitimate.

The choice of the people is reflected. Trump won the majority of electors votes.

HAH! Now you want someone to govern from the middle? Like President Obama would not? How was Obamacare the middle when it was passed with only democrat votes? And how can you forget this Trump quote? "We don't mind the republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in the back." Oh wait! That was president Obama working with the republicans telling them to sit in the back. Must be what he thought of as governing from the middle.

Trump is the legacy of the Obama divisiveness in governing.
