Trump Regrets makes me feel... I don't want to say "heartened." There's a murky soup of feelings, none of which are really positive.

Yeah, but just... gah. Those guys are just so overheated and that turns people off. Doesn't make them wrong, though.

Corporate America tends to be very conservative regarding social change. They don't jump onboard until they're sure there's more money to be made supporting than staying neutral.

And yet for the most part they DO change, rather than pushing back. Which of course means that they are actual conservatives, rather than the regressives of the GOP. I find it the sort of conservatism I can understand and even accept.

I don't think 'overheated' is any sort of criticism any more. We NEED people to be loud and passionate and angry and let the whole world know. Certainly the Trumpanzees can't hear anything that isn't shouted at them loudly and often.
