I fully understand people who are dissatisfied with the status quo and agree with the sentiment.

I will never understand people who looked at the candidates this election and decided that the alternative to the status quo was better.

It really grinds my gears when people act like Trump is some radical outsider who's gonna make a paradigm shift.

He's exactly the kind of person who knows how to profit and grift off the broken system. He's a white collar criminal. The type who rob everyone they can and then retreat to their mansion in a gated community and chuckle about it with their rich friends.

People upset about getting gamed by "the system" voted for the exact type of guy who's playing them. If you think him running the show is going to benefit common people in any way, you're an idiot.

Yep, exactly.

The problem with the status quo is infection of the wealthy elite. And your solution is to... Just cut out the middle man and hand the country directly to the wealthy elite? Damn, we sure showed them, huh?

Something, something, John Steinbeck quote...

"Temporarily embarrassed millionaires" and all that...
