Don't let the trumpery make you demoralized. That's the bully's plan.

It is surely true that if Clinton had been elected president, the US government would be defending abortion rights, and probably not oppressing immigrants as much as is happening now.

Instead of right-wing extremist Gorsuch we would have a center-right "moderate" like Merrick Garland, who would defend Roe v Wade but might have joined in some of the bad decisions that the Supreme Court actually made last week.

With Clinton, we would have had the TPP, and might not have had the progressive resurgence that could take the US government away from the rule of the rich. It is not guaranteed that this resurgence will win, but it gives us a chance.
