This kind of post is full of short term thinking and poor arguments. At no point is any data shared, any argument justified. It's just full of complaint.

It is just silly to compare the US to Russia as well.

Given some of the non-politically correct stuff Aaronson has posted on his blog, I'm sort of surprised and happy to see him so angry about Trump winning. Not everyone that had run ins with over enthusiastic social justice people online voted for Trump out of spite, apparently.
