The Trump Gang, allied with the Putin Gang, stole an election. By stealing emails from the Democrats, and buying off the Director of the FBI, the Gangs won. 
The election  changed American democracy forever, as "one person, one vote" became "one dollar, one vote". Since the change was to the advantage of the white supremacist South, to the advantage of the Republican Party which held both parts of Congress, the Senate and the House, and to the advantage of the super rich World Oligarch Party, no significant opposition was raised in the coming years. Thus the world entered the time of Corporate Fascism. Global Warming was king.

That will most likely be what will be entered in the "People's History of the United States" as what happened to the world. I mourn for America. I hold no hope that the posturers who run Congress will fight to defend the rights of the poor, especially women, who they hate. This new World Government is non-democratic, and it is our new nightmare.
