Thought For The Day

If Hillary Clinton had won (or likely "won") the election of 2016 we'd be in the middle of the Second American Revolution right now.

By electing Donald J. Trump as president, we've put off the Second American Revolution.

 I wrote a story set in an official wargaming universe.  Here's a conversation between a Terran naval officer and an alien non commissioned officer:

Ian saw that the old bakery building at 22nd Avenue and Washington Street was boarded up again, another attempt to redevelop the property without demolishing the original single story brick structure had failed.

Plastered all over the structure were posters showing a black and white photograph of a sixty-ish woman, with short fake blonde hair, a standard nine-millimeter service pistol was aimed at her head. The hammer of the pistol in the photograph was blurred as though it were falling on the firing pin.

Over the photograph on the poster in all capital letters was the one word, REMEMBER.

“I’m sorry sir,” said the Chief as he pointed to the posters, “but I’m not fully familiar with that bit of Terran history.”

“Well,” Ian replied, “That’s Saint Hillary, a martyr for the holy cause of Democracy. She was just a stupid old bitch who believed that being democratically elected somehow constituted an excuse for abusive and destructive behavior.”

Actually no, being elected isn't an excuse for totalitarian socialist behavior of any degree.  If The Left in America can't live with this then I'm afraid that we'll have to see to it that they don't.
