@dubya_brian @codejake there is no cultural revolution, just.. a woman with way too much political baggage running for president.

@dubya_brian @codejake honestly? Clinton had way too much baggage, and was a woman. That got us Trump. In a squeaker.

@dubya_brian @codejake more seriously, Trump is a *disaster* as a leader. Obama did not harm American values. Trump absolutely does.
