I don't know anyone in my life or online who thinks Hil would have been any good. They were both bad options to many of us. The Mexicans are not the ones coming here, it is the Hondurans. Immigration is at an all time low. More Hispanic people are leaving than arriving that is the truth. Mexico is doing well economically. They don't need our jobs anymore. They just like us are experiencing a worker shortage.

We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

Yet 95% of votes cast will be cast for the "two major gangs" despite your prediction and that I know as I sit here you are right. Politics has become a bastion for "herd mentality" psychology and how to manipulate entire groups of people to do what you want them to despite all the real world evidence that the results will NOT be what you claim OR what the individuals within the herd want. It is a fascinatingly terrible thing to watch.
It's like watching Jim Jones without the coolaid
Did you miss that Trump did this with the Senate's consent? Did you miss that McConnell publicaly claimed support for signing the declaration of emergency well before Trump actually did it? How can Trump be bypassing Congress when Congress consents? If Congress doesn't like it, why don't they do something about it?

Obama declared 13 national emergencies. 11 are still active.
I voted Third party/for the challenger in the past two elections. Which "major gang" did you vote for in 2016 and 2018?
Agreed there's a herd mentality and it's visible on this forum. How many times did you see someone, usually a LWer IMO, scream that voting third party was "wasting a vote"? If everyone voted for the same third party, wouldn't it become a major party?
Yes, there is a herd mentality, but the herds continue to divide themselves fairly evenly between the "two major gangs". What do you suggest to break the cycle?

Both were the most deplorable Presidential candidates in living memory. Personally, I couldn't hold my nose long enough to vote for either "lesser of two evils" so I voted third party. It's like-minded people that is the reason why neither of them received over 49% of the vote. That said, I'm glad Hillary lost. She was the greater evil. Trump is just an idiotic putz. "This too shall pass".
