Art and Fear -
A good book about the internal and external challenges to making art, along with the rewards.
quote [ Tom Perez just appointed a lobbyist for an anti-minimum wage group in the South as a DNC Finance Chair. I'm not joking. ]

So you voted against Trump... congrats?
1) The election came down to Pennsylvania, Wisconics, Michigan and Ohio. Unless you happened to vote in one of those four states, your vote was purely cosmetic anyway.
2) Trump is not a Nazi. He has a lot more in common with Tricky Dick Nixon than Adolf Hitler. He has adopted some outward trappings of fascism such as pandering to big business and the military, but he is non-ideological.
3) Hillary was the worst possible candidate at the worst possible time. If Trump is a passenger jet nosediving to the sea, Hillary was a slow-moving freight train collision. Both were catastrophes, although on different scales and timeframes. If the current predicament can spur enough political activity that we are able to course-correct in time, then it's conceivable that we could be better off with Trump in the long term. Or we could all be going to hell in a handbasket. Either way, the Democratic Party's current leadership doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
