      What we are seeing is the underlying antisocial current of America that now has a

all at once, breaking down the social disorder in a few areas of the country.  One of the 
worst would be in the deep south, where the racial hatred that had been suppressed since 
the Civil Rights movement comes to the surface, including lynchings, the result being 
total anarchy.  New England survives by way of Puritan civility.

      With a white trash sexual predator in the White House, those who 
subscribe to racial/ethnic hatred and admire sexual predators may see the 
unanticipated success of Trump as a nationwide open approval of all forms of 
antisocial conduct.

...with all of the anti-Hispanic and anti-Muslim spewing, today is the start
of an ugly new (old?) phase in America's history. By saying that you're
comfortable with what he stands for, even if you don't, then by association
you are just as bad.  Just check the news for photos and tweets from all
over the country showing the newly-empowered Trash Class attacking anyone
remotely Muslim or Mexican or black.

Two kids at SIU-C, down where I grew up, put on blackface and posed in
front of a Confederate flag. There are things happening now that would
make the Klan proud. One kid at UICC (that's here in Chicago) was stabbed.

The people who aren't garbage who voted for the man (and I use "man" only
in the chronological sense) thinking that he was looking out for them
turned a blind eye to the groundswell of sewage that was about to crash
over this country.
