Reprisal
The more things change the more they stay the same. Trump was elected President and though it's been almost two weeks since the election the Earth is still spinning- at least for now.
Though Clinton won the popular vote by over 1.1 million, Trump won key swing states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin which led him to get the 270 required electoral votes needed to become president elect.
The second Trump won the election the instances of harassment and hate crimes across the nation soared.
Trumps appointments are horrible and include the exact people that he said he would kick out of politics. Stephen Bannon who was head of the ultra-conservative, racist and sexist website Breitbart news has been appointed chief strategist and senior advisor. Jeff Sessions who is a Senator from Alabama has been appointed Attorney General though comments he made decades ago on race kept him from winning a nomination to a federal judgeship. The National security advisor appointment goes to General Michael Flynn who was relieved of his former position in intelligence because of his combative style and has been a strong opponent of President Obama as well as Muslims in general.
Our future looks bleak.
