Addenda: Americans are confused. They mistake chaos for change.

Meh.  I prefer Trump by a /small/ margin; better chaos and gridlock in
DC than a massive, well coordinated murder machine IMO.  I'm
sentimental:  I hate to see millions of people slaughtered so a
handful of billionaires can keep growing their wealth & power right up
to the collapse of our present civilization.  In the case of Trump vs.
Clinton, better to roll the dice than accept a status quo that assures
the highest obtainable body count.

But I don't see a Yuge victory for the humans here, only a new set of
problems that /may/ be more tractable than those presented by Clinton.

I was rather shocked by the election results, because I have kept an
eye on developments in election rigging over the years.  Given the
aggregate power of entrenched interests sponsoring Clinton and the
scale of the cash flows that Trump's election have placed in jeopardy,
I did not expect a Trump win to be permitted.  Maybe someday we will
find out what happened behind the scenes - and whether the FBI
director's strange behavior had anything to do with it.

Before election day chop wood, carry water, smash the State.
