I don’t know. How can you reconcile with a people so divorced from reality, logic and reason?

Maybe the doomed fate of this republic has already been sealed and just needs to play itself out, either violently or non-violently.

Too soon to guess. It will take 6-12 months to assess how much damage the untrammelled GOP can do. At best, Trump might be less destructive than GWB, who actually did start a modest war, trash the economy, and open the treasury doors for pillage. A lot of the suffering will fall on individuals, women and minorities, who will see their lives shortened and their choices constricted.

We will probably recover in less than 50 years, unless worst-case climate mismanagement screws the planet.

Sleeping through elections has consequences.
