In the end, Trump won’t make a dent in my bottomline… Actually, like hillary, it would probably be good for my bottom line, since he seems like he’s warming up to Wall Street in as much as Hillary has been, lol.

You know what he won’t warm up to? Brown people. To Muslims. To African Americans. To women. To Asians. Before the election is over, Jews will get it too. Jewish reporters already are getting it. After 8 years with a black man in the white house, every racist asshole will be empowered if Trump is elected. Wall Street not being happy is least of the problems we could face.[/quote]
SK…Oh I know, I totally agree. But, I have faith that at least in CA, we have enough checks and balances in place to keep him (and his racist followers) more or less contained. And I have faith that the majority of the americans out there, caucasians, asian, latino, african americans, if push comes to shove, understands the difference between right versus wrong…And… I do have faith in the 2nd amendment will keep most of us for being dragged into a concentration camp…
I am a registered republican because in the past I do support some of the moderates we have in the CA. And I believe for a democratic system to work, we do need a balance between in viewpoints on a lot of social and economic issues. That said, I just do not want to be an enabler for racists, so I don’t mind giving my votes away to the democrat candidates this time… It’s far too easy for me to pick Hillary over Trump. What would be a much more difficult decision would be to pick Bernie over Trump…lol….
Finally, as much as I don’t like Trump, there is one thing he did do that I am happy about. He caused the racists to come out of the closet. No more fake masks, no more pretending to be nice. We finally get so see how some people really are in real life. That’s a good thing. Because for the rest of us, we can quickly identify who these are, and have nothing to do with them. ever. In California, they will always be a tiny percentage of the population. Trump-mania might at worst last 4-8 years. The damage he’ll do to people who felt “comfortable” being an outright racist will be far more damaging to them and their reputation. Once people starting going down this path, it’s pretty difficult later on to back peddle and recover from it. Good. They sort of deserve it. It’s definitely an eye opener for me when some everyday people you might run into here and on the street act and behave differently if they think there are no consequences for the way they act.
As far as career opportunities, the way I look at it, if I’m not welcome at a U.S. company moving forward, I’ll just walk on over to the nearest chinese, taiwanese competitor that wants to hire me to build competing products at 1/8 the cost. If there ends up being a brain drain from U.S. companies that’s trying to grow over the next 10-15 year by expanding into markets abroad, that’s not really my problem.
