I voted for Trump in the general. I couldn't stand the idea of Clinton walking into the White House. She disgusted me and, as Michael Moore stated numerous times, voting for Trump seemed like a huge "Fuck you!" to the current political system that I had looked upon with disdain and apathy. So Trump wins, all is great, right? Except his cabinet picks have been lackluster, he has already backtracked on numerous issues, and has not shown a capability to see past his own nose when it comes to picking fights with "fake news".

He has not shown me anything that has impressed me since his "drain the swamp" message was disavowed by the man less than a week after the election. I just hope that he ends up rejuvenating my dying hope that he could really be the anti-establishment candidate he tried so hard to prove he was in the primaries.

My hope for a Trump presidency was that things would get screwed up so bad that it would be easier to convince people to fix things.

Kind of like having a house that needs a lot of work but could pass with a few cheap repairs, but deciding to start knocking down walls because--if I'm going to do this much work, then I might as well really get what I want. Then you end up knocking out support beams and it won't pass code, so you gotta tear it down and start over.
