Too bad the Misfires thread was deleted from this board. We could roll back 8 years and read the comments on the Obama being elected. That pic above is exactly what many today's triumphers looked.
All in all, I think that's what happens each time America elects a new President. Half of the population goes "OMG, everything's lost", the other half goes "Hey, that's the best thing that could happen to this country!". 4 or 8 years later, things remain pretty much as they were.
The reason is that "puppets" change, but the "puppet masters" pulling the strings remain the same. The "puppet masters" are the wealthy, those representing large corporations, financial institutions, and powerful lobby groups that represent special interests.
