I wouldn't say "reeling" I would say "rejoicing"--we are desperate to get back any semblance of regular people having control over the levers of power in the US. ANY SEMBLANCE.
- aleeds 10y agoWow, I didn't know that a billionaire was a regular person. I guess anyone is a regular person then.

- untog 10y agoI'm curious - how has anything Donald Trump done since becoming President Elect shown regular people having control over the levers of power? Best I can see, he's taking the same old Republicans (Giuliani, Gingrich) and reinstalling them into government, throwing in some lobbyists and his extremely rich son-in-law for good measure.
- jmcmichael 10y agoSeriously, Trump, Bannon, Guiliani, and the rest of those ghouls you consider to be 'regular people'?
- selimthegrim 10y agoPlease enlighten us with your definition of "regular people" here and ask yourself if the line worker at a Ford factory is necessarily instantly qualified to the CEO.
- dragonwriter 10y agoOkay, but outside of self-serving fantasy, how does Trump getting elected relate to that? Except for the odd wealthy white nationalist exception, it's Washington insiders and lobbyists all around. Seems to me you bought a can of snake oil.
