It’s the end of the world as we know it. If I am asked what political party I align with, I will answer that I am an American. I have a little bit of democrat, republican, green, libertarian, socialist, and probably a wee bit of monarchy in my political ideology. I look at issues, take rhetoric from all sides with a grain of salt, and look to BBC and Japan Times for news to keep my perspective. I’m not perfect. No one is. Neither is our country. I do hope we remember that we’re still all in this together and in four years, someone else will drive people to Canada.
Some perspective on this year’s election results (links to the searches I used are included for those who enjoy fact checking).
2016
