I think a lot of people will have a very rude awakening.

The fantasy, that because the manchild "is a businessman" (and not a con too many), that somehow that is going to rub on them and suddenly the entire country will be packed with millionaires, that somehow his "business savvy" will rub on everyone as if by osmosis, and their bank accounts will then be full of money.

When democrats take back the presidency, the congress and the senate, the main priority must be educating the country, making sure that people learn to read, learn to think because when they do it will be the end of the republicans. Republicans need the ignorant, the easily awed because what they sell is extraordinary fantasy, just like the fake socialism that leads to communism has done in many countries. The rhetoric and fantasy that pseudo socialists give people sounds so good, the words they use are almost hypnotizing, the people who speak the words have outstanding speech abilities, it is just a thrill to hear them talk, but for the educated they know its crap and lies, for the uneducated it becomes music to their ears, and that is why ignorance is so dangerous, it is not a bliss it is a weapon for the evil people who have an agenda that only involves power and money.

Education must be priority one, paralleled with reversing all the bad changes the republicans have accomplished during these two years.
