Is Trump a blessing in disguise?

It certainly doesn't feel like it right now but as the Republican base shrinks and the Democrat's base grows, isn't Trump clearing the way for Democrats to act any way they want to act in the future? Why would Democrats have to abide by laws that Republicans clearly flouted? Liberal policies may come in bunches in the not too distant future. Could Trump actually usher in a liberal cultural tidal wave by the mid-twenties?

I'm not sure but it certainly makes for good fodder to feed the paranoia on the Right.

The U.S. - IRAN - RUSSIA Triangle and Unintended Consequences

It is interesting to think about the fact that Russia is a staunch supporter of Iran while also interfering in U.S. elections to benefit Trump who is now attacking Iran. You have to wonder what Iran's leaders are thinking about Russia's efforts to install Trump who is now antagonizing them at every turn. I'm guessing that someone didn't think this through to the end. Unintended consequences?
