A Right Wing Cannot Flap Alone, or, Donald Trump Screwed the Putsch

I've said before that "at the table" politics matter most to the most people, and we both have acknowledged that economic shifts take slow effect and often aren't "visible" to the average person until an election cycle later, meaning blame/praise gets incorrectly assigned.

That said, there's more to it than that.  That's what I mean.  Pointing to ONE thing, the price of bread, and saying "that's the thing that did it" is too glib.

The one thing I hate hearing from democrats right now, and should have been hating all along, is this one phrase: "This isn't who we are!"  If this election proved one thing... yes it is.  It IS who we are, to a significant percentage, and we MUST come to terms with that reality now.

The more you read about how voters made their decisions, the more you realize that there was nothing Democrats could've have done. The majority of Americans simply aren't capable of critical thought and making informed decisions.

I just checked the stats soon this thread's gonna need it's own hard drive. And orange pennywise from the movie IT isn't helping make that not a thing that's for sure.
