    “I might get murdered in my sleep for being queer or hunted down and jailed for my political beliefs, but at least I’ll be entertained!”

        I’ll laugh when I wake up and realize my being in America right now was just a bad dream and actually I had moved many years prior to a nice little bungalow on the southern coast of Spain where I have a well-established vineyard and a little garden and coincidentally have become fluent in Spanish. I will laugh with particular enthusiasm over the news of the chaos in America just before settling in for my siesta, after which I’ll make off-color jokes with my neighbors over a glass or two of homemade sherry about when we can expect Trump to meet with an unfortunate accident involving a window.

        That’s when I’ll laugh.

      I literally changed my voter registration because this election made me remember my address and party affiliation are public record in my state.

            You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?

            You must live in a civilized country.

            You can say no preference or independent. One purpose of party affiliation is to determine which primaries you get to vote in. So if you are a Democrat you can’t vote in a Republican primary. But of course you can switch any time.

            The entire system is designed to ensure that only the two establishment parties can win elections.
