text: The United States has elected an openly racist, defiantly fascist megalomaniac to the presidency.  It can't surprise anyone that he's building a reactionary government of, by and for the filthy rich. He's nominated an attorney general to suppress voting rights in minority communities, a secretary of state to protect his corporate and personal relationships in Russia, a labor secretary who wants to replace workers with robots, an EPA Director who doesn't believe in climate change, an energy secretary who wants to abolish the department (when he an remember its name), a housing secretary who rightly describes himself as unqualified, and a national security adviser who is given to right wing conspiracy theories. Add to all of that the neo-Nazi who will be his chief counselor and strategist, it's hard to see where a bridge could be built.
