As
the election results are being contested (for one thing Clinton won the popular
vote and is only poised to lose due to the electoral college) and many people
raise concerns about anomalies in the counting of the votes in certain key
states it was only a matter of time until someone decided to begin an effort to
investigate.
Dr. Jill Stein, the USA's Green Party candidate,
has cited statistical anomalies in her pursuit to begin a recount in the states
of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Clinton's campaign has already announced it
shall participate in the Wisconsin recount as they claim to hold an obligation
to the over 64 million Americans who voted for Hillary.
Trump on his part has claimed that Dr. Stein's
efforts are nothing but a scam and accuses Hillary Clinton of hypocrisy by
sharing past quotes where she called on people to respect the election's
outcomes (conveniently ignoring the fact this was done due to Trump saying he
would not accept the outcome of the elections if he were to lose).
It seems Americans are not ready to face
reality, a dark grim reality that Trump is in fact their new president, the
reality that soon the country will be run by an egomaniac incompetent lunatic
and that this election has divided Americans more than ever.
It will be quite interesting to see what this
recount could reveal, either way the results seem final, fate seems to be ready
to run its course and Americans to collide with each others.
Desperation under these circumstances is
perfectly normal, but a more rational mind should now focus on how to revive
the Democratic Party and reach out to voters rather than participating in petty
attempts to discredit an election.
As for Trump, he should prepare to be
discredited, he was elected by an undemocratic process called the Electoral
College, he did not receive the backing of most Americans and probably never
will, he does not hold the peoples' hearts, and if he risks to be during the
Presidency what he was during the campaign he might be in for a bumpy ride for the
next 4 years.
With a President as emotionally unstable as
Trump anything could happen, we should be ready for any shocking comment,
reaction or order, best to brace ourselves now for the worst and be prepared,
instead of delaying the inevitable.
