Trump's Election:

Some Thoughts about the 2016 American Presidential Race

The 2016 election
was like standing in front of a urinal
and expecting the piss
to fall in a certain way . . .

Then surprise, surprise!
through some Russian roulette
the piddle-streams twisted
& Electoral College
went astray
as a pubic pundit
& public menace
carried the day
while Putin smiled
& American democracy went d
own the drain.

Ted:	Trump's election reveals the sham that America has become. Money is paramount and at this point in history, capital is concentrated in the hands of a few.
Tim:	That might be, but it seems corruption is endemic throughout human history. As long as greed is in our hearts, it will manifest.
Kris:	(sighing) Hmm. Post-democratic America is infected with corruption, and America does not seem so different from Russia. It is essentially an oligarchy.
Terri:	(with a touch of satire) Tsk! Tsk! Why such pessimism? If you watch Fox News and stop reading all subversive literature, things won't look so bad!
