Trump  & his team's actions are extremely worrying so far. Forget his policies, forget his childish attitude and everything else, it doesn't matter anymore.

What DOES matter now is his constant lying and general disinterest in correcting his lies or misconceptions and allowing the media to report on those lies as if they were fact.

What does matter is his targeted harassment and attacks on any media outlet that even slightly criticises him.

What does matter is the CIA found actual evidence that Russia aided his presidential campaign and his team's response was that it didn't matter because he's won and its over with.

What does matter is things like this, where he is seeking to target specific scientists to eradicate them to replace them with people who favor his views.

What does matter is that his team is extremely opposed to a recount of votes, if he won fairly why is there any cause for concern?

Too many people focus on the social issues he presents, like having right wing social ideologies and general bigotry. We can deal with that.

What people SHOULD be focusing on is **** like this which threatens democracy and the actual planet we live in. I can't wait for this news to be pushed under the rug so the media can go back to talking about that one time he called Clinton a nasty woman.

This, this election became such a mess that people forgot about the things that matter

Where are our scientists when you need them?  Oh!  Mocked by the general public but also shooting themselves in the foot by only creating research/data that ends up being peer reviewed and (often) locked up in journals/inaccessible to the general public through said journals or academic language (although the GP wouldn't care to read it either way it seems). [I say this coming off of a grad. degree in which I got to see how research gets handled/can understand the anti-elitist vs. elitist attitude climate these days] 

 Such a filthy hot mess! 

I know it is a defeatist attitude but I do not see social progress in our lifetimes...or at least in the next four-eight years or so--or more, depending on the longitudinal effects of Mango Mussolini's policies/appointments to the Supreme Court/etc.  The good days are seemingly gone.  (Personally really enjoyed late 2009-early 2013 the most so far in my life/in 'Murica)

[I won't stay silent if there are opportunities to protest/resist/etc, to be sure]
