"Of course, on Election Day, as one of only two blue states that did not lose any precincts to Trump, most of us slipped into a deepening state of shock and depression as the day progressed from which we have not recovered."

I HAD to laugh at this... We all know that the "Left Coast" and NY along with Hawaii are all MAJOR welfare States and likely Trumps ideas of providing JOBS and 'making America great again' will have a profound affect on those that wish to keep things as they are. Hawaii in particular has become a SLAVE State, powered by Democrats that have become wealthy and powerful on the BACKS of those they are hired to SERVE!  If the people EVER wake up and realize they have been suppressed by those in power for decades, they can fire their 'Masters' and take charge of their lives... LOL!
