Clinton’s loss at the hands of Donald Trump supposedly amounted to the most surprising outcome in the history of modern electoral politics, but there is nothing surprising about it.
This was an election of 50 states, it was about a color of diversity that the arrogance of an all imposing top down bureacratic centralist government doesn’t understand.
Arrogance of 1 verse the diversity of 50 gasping to be heard. Entire populations in many states that came to feel to be invisible - in fact so invisible they weren’t bothered to be counted in the phony liberal election polls. Here too, it was arrogance that “missed” counting them.
America is way more than just downtown New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago or Portland. And certainly way more than K Street and Washington D.C..
Way more diverse than that.
Perhaps there are not enough States. Sure, there has now been a tremendous victory of the true voice of diversity against the arrogance of one that “forgot” about the jobs and the need for a sense of pride of the “invisible”.
The “forgotten man”. Oh how shocking, let me add the truly “forgotten woman” as well.
Today I heard about a supposed “movement” to breakaway California from the United States because folks are suppose to be so upaet with Trump winning.
But there was already an actual, real and growing “successionist” movement on the rise in California, organised and living movement - to secede from California. And they spelled the word correctly, secede not succession as it was spelled by the same arrogant centralists who wanted to push a phony story as part of the same arrogance.
In this real movement to secede from California, the people want to breakaway from the arrogance of Los Angeles and San Francisco, and form their own new States. Where the end result is more diversity, 52 states instead of just 50.
Maybe this is a good idea. Let’s have more and more States in the Electoral College - let’s have true diversity in the face of this rancid arrogance. That way, if you are being drowned and turned into invisible, you have more options to drain the swamp and become visible by the sheer power of a “new” sort of “migration” within our own national boundaries where we actually still have borders from complete and entire suffocation in the prisons of arrogance. Probably 60 States is a good idea. 70. Entire parts of New York deserve their own Statehood as much as entire parts of California. Entire areas of Illinois needs their own new State and breakaway from Chicago.
You see Hillary was going to take us backward.
Backward to the times of Mesopotamia and City States. When a City rules over everyone else instead of a State. Talk about archaic and arrogant.
Kansas doesn’t exist? Dorothy can’t go home to Kansas anymore? She can only go to some bum infested sidewalk of Portland? Hillary Clinton lost because of arrogance. But America doesn’t want to live in her ghetto. Too many are already invisible but sort of don’t like it.
However, being invisible does have one advantage. When you slap the uninvisible they often don’t see the hand coming.
The biggest F.U. in history.
” remember when Harry Reid used the nuclear option to undermine the filibuster?”
And they will do it again as soon as they regain power.
Instead of doing the same ourselves, now might be the best time to place the filibuster in the constitution. While we’re at it we might want to limit the number of supreme court justices.

Will they be forced to play gigs in a dive bar somewhere? probably not, but they may not fill the large venues like they did...
Thank you for posting the entire article.
Liberals never learn.
Republicans, OTOH, learn a lot — they learn the wrong lesson. Their capacity for doing so is virtually infinite.
