I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My less than 3 hours of sleep last night (IDK why, I just couldn't get to sleep. Perhaps a diet coke too late in the day, but that seems like an extreme reaction) is catching up with me. I don't think I'm going to be able to actually be productive in the next two hours. The number of typos I have corrected in this post is pretty astounding.
Trump's candidacy keeps reminding me of that one history class where we covered fascism in depth. It's depressing and frightening.

He's closer to the Democrats in his policy positions these days. I couldn't predict what would happen if he were to run, but I don't think it would be good for the Dems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The quote I liked said he's the candidate for people who like Hillary, but don't think she's close enough to big corporations.

Heh, that's pretty good. I didn't even know he was a possibility.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I do not by any means want him, no sir, no thank you, not even a little, but among the current field he is the one the prospect of whose actual presidency fills me with the least bleak and suffocating despair.
