    I think that you are correct here. He comes from an old school way of looking at the world, pre-Boomer, which was really a lot of “I get mine and it’s ok if I take yours to get it”. These people built out the country to exclude minorities and take away power from women. His replacement will certainly be much younger and have a completely different viewpoint on the world.

      God I hope so, but I have a feeling it’s going to be another monster; just without the spectre of death looming over them like the rainbow after a storm.

        It can be another cluster but I’m also hopeful that a younger person will tone it down. The senate tends to be more moderate too.
