    We should have stopped when the alternative was McCain or Romney. We can have a chance to stop again when the alternative is similarly more sane than Trump.

      We will never be going back. Lesser-evilism has led to incrementally more evil, not less. Trump and Trumpism are symptoms of the sickness, not the cause. Liberals love Obama, but after eight years of him we got Trump! What has our political leadership --our democracy– done to address the problems that brought about Trump? Obama before, Biden in the interim, yet here we are. Everyone has moved to the right.

        Obama and Biden have actually had the FBI working on right wing extremism. It’s just kind of hard when there’s effective immunity for it’s leadership. And yeah, we might have to fight to change that and fix things. But you don’t just do that for shits and giggles. It’s not fucking Hollywood. You’re not the main character. We don’t have plot armor. So we work the problem in the best way we can until we’re forced into that stuff.
