Good and Hard

Is the tail end of a quote from H.L. Mencken.  The full is  "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard".   With less than two months to go to the inauguration of Cheeto Jesus, the enormity of what the working class actually voted for becomes more tangible every day.  The emerging train wreck will rivet attention on the White House for the next four years and it won't be good.  Trump managed to question the validity of the election in a tweet which falsely claims he won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of "fraudulent votes" cast for Clinton.  Obviously to any rational being, this calls for a complete recount of all votes to restore faith in the electoral system.  But our new leader probably didn't think through the consequences of his fantasy tweet.  This is going to be a staple of his thinking going forward.  The damage he will do to the reputation of the office of the President will be unprecedented in modern times.  The only good thing is his ludicrous behavior will hopefully make him a one term president.
