Donald Trump Is Elected President
I think we learned that fake news (used to pump up fake issues) is now a legitimate campaign strategy that works even on people who should know better.<p>Trump won on a mountain of fake issues:<p>Immigration: both conservative and liberal economists agree that immigration (illegal or otherwise) does not suppress wages and does not suppress job growth.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cato.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;immigration" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cato.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;immigration</a>

For every terrorist killing someone on US soil, more than 4000 Americans killed each other.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.snopes.com&#x2F;toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.snopes.com&#x2F;toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists&#x2F;</a>

It doesn&#x27;t take away any rights from anybody.<p>Who is using the bathroom: Historically virtually no jurisdictions have had laws in place to prevent men from entering ladies rooms or vice versa. There have been male registered sex offenders entering the bathroom with yours sons since time immemorial. Transgendered people are no more likely to be sex offenders than the general population.<p>Obamacare: While the program has its problems, the Trump administration will do nothing to address them and has said it will double-down on aspects that will make our health care system worse.<p>I could go on but this is plenty. Welcome to the post-factual political America.
