Well said, V about Trump exposing our shadow. Trump won in part on a platform of making politically inappropriate statements that have pervaded our collective unconscious for centuries. These are sentiments people knew they weren't supposed to say aloud even as they lurked in the back of people's minds and directed their behavior.
Sexist and racist remarks, wishing violence upon people who disagreed with him, cruel stereotyping of just about every group that doesn't fit the dominant ruling class ideal (Northern European white male).
He's forced it all out in the open.
Although most, if not all, of those who are part of this community abhor the politically incorrect sentiments, many have never seen the suffering of the victims of those sentiments. The tragic faces of immigrants separated from their children at the border opened so many eyes. It gave so many in this country the chance to see the shadow and replace it with compassion and a helping hand.
The testimony of the women who Roy Moore sexually assaulted, the photos of these women as young girls, and Christine Ford's assault when a teen, tender Percephone's all. Trump's derogatory nicknames are the language of this cruelty. Trump is truly a messenger of the god of darkness.
When he was running for office, the GOP leadership vehemently rejected his ugly remarks about people and his sell out to wealthy Russian oligarchs. But their policies show they agreed behind closed doors or in their psyches with his behavior.
He is about bringing our collective shadow out into the light where we can see it, admit it, and finally heal it.
Visions that come to me from spirit have a way of being more profound than I understand at first. The vision I had before the election of the god Pluto winning the election has taught me that Pluto, the god of the underworld who stole innocent girl Percephone, wasn't just about death and darkness winning the election.
Pluto, as many of you have pointed out, is also the god of the unconscious. When he rules, which astrologically he is ruling right now, he gets us to focus on our collective shadow, the dark within us.
Astrologically, that Pluto symbol was also profound. Although I didn't know it when I got the vision, the U.S. is going through a Pluto return that began in 2008 and ends in 2024. I'm not an astrologer but I did get the vision of Pluto ruling until about 2025. Here's an explanation from astrostyle.com: For the first time since 1778, Pluto has returned to Capricorn; the sign Pluto was transiting during the birth of the U.S. Capricorn is the sign that rules the patriarchy, government and capitalism—all areas that have been thrown into the spotlight “bigly” in 2017, and igniting a radical outcry from at least half of the country’s citizens. -- https://astrostyle.com/united-states-astrology/
In the last remaining undecided House race, in Northern CA (Tulare-Kern), Valadao, the GOP incumbent, has lost to Dem Cox. Valadao has not conceded as of yet... this race was decided by 1,000 votes. Proving again how important each and every vote is.
Alarming news out of House NC 09 - allegations of election fraud by the Republican, who won by a slim margin. Tales of people receiving absentee ballots they didn't request, people coming by to "pick up" their ballots.

* Republicans are trying to get laws passed and regulations changed before January. There’s a frenzied activity as they try to protect their waning power. (Bluebelle)
This would be a definite hit for December 2018.
From The Guardian: Wisconsin’s Republican-controlled state senate voted just before sunrise on Wednesday, following an all-night session, to pass a sweeping bill in a lame-duck session designed to weaken the incoming Democratic governor, Tony Evers, who ousted the Republican Scott Walker last month.
Republicans pushed on through protests, internal disagreement and Democratic opposition to the measures designed to reduce the powers of Evers and the incoming attorney general, Josh Kaul, also a Democrat replacing a Republican. Critics have called the move a threat to democracy. The Wisconsin battle is one of several going on around the country where bitter bipartisan wrangling continues a month after the midterm elections.
And elsewhere in Michigan...multiple issues are arising.
