Subject: RE: BS: Trump Actions and Effects
You poor thing. Anyway...

From Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian, commenting on Trump's "setback" in the midterms:

"So no shortage of lessons from America. Of course, the differences between there and everywhere else are obvious and nothing reads across precisely. Except for one thing. What the US election proved once more is that the conventional wisdom is often wrong, that fatalism is always wrong – and that, every now and then, politics can turn out right."

Well let's hope so. The usual suspect topics (abortion among them) didn't do it for Trump and his brain-dead acolytes. However, let's not pretend that that far-right tosser in Florida couldn't be just as bad.
