The election of Trump isn't the real problem here. The real issue is that the Republican party now has control of the government, with only the fact that they don't have a supermajority in the Senate as the only check on their power.

This is an organization that openly admits to voter suppression and harbors some of the most virulent racists, misogynists, and homophobes. An organization that has launched an attack on education and science. An organization that publicly claims to call for smaller government but then enacts some of the most intrusive surveillance we've seen.

It's going to get a lot worse very quickly before it gets better.
