Those who voted for Trump - did you know you were going to get this?
I think Trump's stance on Apple was pretty indicative of where things are headed.

I also wouldn't have been surprised if a Clinton appointee had said this, either. Remember that her husband was trying to mandate key escrow and she herself, on the campaign trail, said that she wanted to monitor everything possible to prevent terror attacks.
It's not very reasonable to <strike>blame</strike> pointedly question voters for actions their candidate didn't take a stance on.
[edit], thought better of using the word 'blame'. It's not an accurate characterization, but didn't want to erase the history of having initially chosen that word either.
But I thought that in the long run the identity politics and social justice gone berserk are the greater danger.
And breaking the spine of Apple, while probably wrong would have given me great satisfaction.
Of course we did, we know this next 4 years are going to be largely terrible and he will be a horrendous president. However sometimes before you can rebuild you need to burn the existing structure to the ground first. We're tired of the status quo and want significant change in how we're represented. Sometimes you have to endure a little pain before things get better.
EDIT: I think the next round of house, senate and presidental campaigns/elections will be vastly different (for the better) than the last 20 years.
Oh? How do you see this happening? Both parties are still here, alas.
That is arguable. The RNC is in shambles, Trump came in and annihilated everyone in that party. Sure they are technically still here, but let's not say things are going according to plan.
Same for the DNC, they cheated their own party to put Hillary at the front of the pack in what looked like a freebie election and lost. Roasting Bernie, getting debate questions fed to her ahead of time, and they still lost. It looks bad they cheated their own party, but looks worse they cheated and still lost.
I heard the EXACT same thing said about President Obama. The results were debatable.

You're projecting. Plenty of Americans are very happy with the way the elections went and suspect more republicans taking power in the midterm elections. Historically republicans do better in midterm elections.
I wasnt talking about Americans, both political parties were embarrassed and horrified at how the elections went. It's those people who are going to try harder. The Republican party is in shambles, and the DNC is embarrassed they lost what looked like a gimmie election by putting their weakest candidate in front.
