How did we lose it so easily? Yes, as Democrats we bear a share of the blame for being complacent and not vigilant, convinced it could never happen here until it is quickly on its way in that direction. How many thousands, hundreds of thousands of more Democrats didn't even bother to vote in the election because they were certain that Trump could not win? How many couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman, especially a woman of color?
Perhaps it is that we have met the enemy and it is us. We certainly underestimated our real enemy. Did we really think for the last 4 years that Trump, Musk, and the Magas were doing nothing, that they weren't scheming? Yes, more vigilance was certainly in order and such hindsight should have been the order of the day and not 20/20.

But I'm an old man and don't have that many years left. I really feel sorry for the children and young people of America. I don't at all feel sorry for the seniors who will get what they deserve and who voted for Trump. That's almost laughable.
