The only annoying thing on Wednesday is how everyone in the US will say that it was a huge get for USA to elect a woman president and that this is a historic and monumental moment in the history of the world. It will come off as if the USA were the first country EVER to have a female in the highest office in the land conveniently ignoring that various other countries have already elected women to power and in some instances, multiple times so.

You know, I guess that's the one positive of the Trump campaign... Because it has been such a %*#& show, it has pretty much eliminated the first woman president narrative that would have been shoved down our throats for the last 9 months. While I think its awesome we could finally have our first female president, I did not need to hear that story over and over and over.
So there is that positive... However, if Trump does actually concede and lose with grace, that will mean the media will resort to having to talk about the woman angle. So its probably for the best that we get that instead of Trump contesting things and the potential fallout from his disenfranchised mob.
