There's so much ink on how Dems are worried about November because of the trauma of the 2016 election, which, yes. But I wish there'd be more written about how it's also because we've spent 4 years witnessing just how truly awful and nihilistic 40something% of the population is.
It's not JUST anxiety that the polls are wrong or that the electoral college will grant him a technicality. It's ALSO the enervating, gutting knowledge that nothing this abhorrent, contemptible garbage monster of a man does is Too Much for tens of millions of our fellow citizens.
There will be so much residual trauma to process whenever he's finally gone. I'm still a humanist, and I've never been naive about the dark depths of all humans ... but I feel straight-up *different* about people now. And it's not because of Trump. It's because of his supporters.
Trump is spewing demented conspiracy babble and insulting wounded veterans and won’t lose an inch of support and we’ll instead be subjected to a national argument over Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut in an empty salon.
How do you feel hopeful about ANYTHING in that environment?

For every pundit who holds a panel on Why Are Dems Losing Hope, I wish they would, at least for just a minute, acknowledge that they themselves are a huge part of the reason.
