in spite of your words. Reducing reality to one-dimensional good and bad, an "our team versus their team" world, is a dangerously foolish self indulgence. Trumpsters are so self mind-fucked that they couldn't fix the nation's way out of a paper bag. They're not our model.

Of course we desperately need to get money out of politics. That's obviously necessary if democracy is to survive. "Not a damned dime!" should be our mantra.

But until we do, a full range of people from very good to terrible villains are working with the systems that exist now. We know that because this is the real world.
