This is pretty close to what I think is true, even though I HATE it, and feel like Cassandra on the steps of Troy. But I also think there was Russian interference with the swing state voting machines, there was gerrymandering and voter suppression, and the media which is owned by oligarchs was not helping us, and/or it was not being read; and that many of us did exhaust ourselves in every way trying to help the country face the problem and deal with it effectively. The largest voter block did not vote.

The crushing blow was still crushing.

the problem of opposition is huge because americans are idiots with a narrow view of the world. remember the man on the street thing Leno used to do ? question :when was the american revolution...around 1880 I think who did we fight against...Mexico I think . Do americans know what NATO is ? Too many football stadiums not enough schools.

Actually, no. I'm out at rallies and protests. We donate money. We call our elected pols. And yes, I'm willing to speak (sic) my mind online, and in person. What else do you suggest, or does your handle explain all we'll get to hear?
