I am as disappointed in the outcome as most people, but the way my home state of Pennsylvania and my life in particular have been badly hurt by stupid policies of the Democrats since Obama, I take umbrage with you lashing out at my home state where I still reside because they managed to mismanage energy policy to the detriment of most people who live here. My home county used to be 99% Democratic and went 76% for Trump. I didn't fwiw. Electric vehicles are foolish and we should be developing hydrogen powered autos, and renewables are not reliable particularly in extreme weather. And quite frankly, the perception is that the Party has forgotten us for things they consider more important starting with a booming urban economy while rural America is drying up and starving. Thank God for the Electoral College as well or urban America would dictate even worse policies for ys hillbillies. And both Parties are talking about Social Security and Medicare going broke when all they have to do is eliminate the cap on withholding for those making over what is now $165,000 I think. It really pisses me off every New Year's Day when I see a Manning or a Shaq doing one commercial and they are done contributing for the year. The markets are booming and the rich and middle class are doing well. But not so much for the poorer folk of this country., Confucius said and i paraphrase that you judge a civilizsation by how it treats its old and its young. By that measure, we fail miserably.

I get it. (I used to live in Philly.) Just making jokes to relive some frustration. No easy answers to any of the problems you mention unfortunately.
