I'm sure you've heard how it's all spurred a review of Electoral College
I have indeed--journalists around here tell the masses that it's unlikely to happen because it would mean amending the constitution. To which a columnist replied that democracy is a fluctuating form of governement, constantly redefining itself, meaning mostly that the people is sovereign and that if enough citizens want something to be changed, then it bloody well better happen.
Trump's relationship with the press is very disturbing (and his "It's unfair" at the protests? Really? You're President elect, and the best you can come up with is "It's unfair"? Good lord...)
Not that our ministers are doing much better.
Having read a bunch of NY Times articles during the campaign and in the last few days, I'll admit it's clear from their coverage that they're not pro-Trump. But there's a little thing called freedom of the press, and if you don't want to be called on your mistakes, try not to make such obvious ones.
(And while I haven't watched any Fox News coverage, I'll assume they're not pro-Clinton. Doesn't Trump have a problem with that?)
I'm planning a re-watch of The West Wing and Parks and Recreation in the coming months, just to dream a little about smart and motivated people doing a job to the best of their abilities.
