87. I have a totally different read on the article.

Oct 2018

Trump is in office, at least in part, because a large segment of society did not take his candidacy seriously. In short, we wrongly thought America was better than this; that America would NEVER elect a human as lacking as Trump. We. Were. Wrong.

The article now says more people are taking seriously the idea that Trump could win again, with or without Russia's help, BECAUSE THEY NOW RECOGNIZE THAT A LARGE SEGMENT OF AMERICA IS AS MORALLY LACKING AS TRUMP AND THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN. Once you factor in widespread voter suppression, apathy, and the well meaning but mis-informed, you better bet your sweet ass that Trump could win again.

Many of us thought and hoped that Bush and Cheney were headed to jail for their many crimes, but they were rewarded with a second term. A second . . . fucking . . . term.

If the article helps to wake people the fuck up about the state of our democracy, then I say sound the alarm until even the dead are taking the threat seriously.
