still reflect the will of the people. It will truly be a miracle if Trumpy’s opposition takes ONE chamber of Congress. They’ve already gamed the system beyond repair IMO. Fascist courts, a fascist GOP, a fascist media, and a Russian fascist overlord are quickly cementing control. Any window to reverse the conversion to fascist authoritarian rule is closing fast.

The amazing thing about all of it is that it’s NOTHING NEW. It’s all been done before. Yet the ignorant, the gullible, and the terrified are falling for it again. Again, there will be suffering on a scale beyond anyone’s worst nightmares. For what?
