in 2016 the smart money was confident that Hillary would beat Jeb.

The election of Donald Trump taught me two things:

1. In one sense, American presidential elections are actually far more democratic than anyone thought. This man, almost uniformly opposed by everyone in every single major center of power in the country—corporate, military/intelligence, academic, media, bureaucratic—was somehow able to fucking win despite it. Deeply undermines the notion that elections are just for show and the candidates are pre-approved in smoke-filled rooms to both be someone acceptable to the Elites™.

2. No one has any fucking idea what they’re talking about when it comes to like history or politics. Literally no one would’ve predicted something like the Trump presidency would happen. No smug asshole who acts like they’ve figured out the formula for American history and already know how the next 50 years are going to play out predicted something like this would happen.
