Do people remember that things besides Trump are happening in the U . S . ? Maybe they didn ' t just mean that we ' re looking forward to a man who ' s never held any political office before , is horribly sexist , just settled a lawsuit for scamming people , promised in his first 100 days of office he ' d sue all the women who have accused him of sexual assault . Maybe they were also referring to the more vocal levels of civil unrest , and the horrible way people are treating each other now , the problems with the way people are treating the police and how some police officers are treating some people , and the increased THEY ' RE GONNA TAKE OUR GUNS ! fears even though nobody has ever threatened to take the guns even though every fucking year we seem to have more mass shootings than Canada has had in its entire history as a country . Maybe they meant the apparently increasingly terrible education but increased tech usage which has led to a problem where there ' s thousands or millions of really stupid people who don ' t understand how anything works and can ' t even figure out when their news source is from a satire website . Maybe they were referring to all that and not just Trump . Maybe they weren ' t referring to Trump at all . Maybe it was actually a reference to tectonic plate movements .
