in oversetting democracy, to be revealed to us now. But no!!!

Regarding those who had to be defeated, historian Jon Meacham said he believes focus on this era in the future will be not so much on Trump himself but on the phenomenon of the angry people who chose him as their leader, and the mainstream Republicans who joined them.

Yes. It's the people.

But you couldn't quite extinguish the flame of democracy, so now it's time to run around the parade to the front and pretend you've been leading it all the time.

Ought to set up a traveling tour. They can go around to journalism schools giving lectures on how to be irrelevant, wrong and incompetent and still make a living on cable news.

We haven't lost all hope yet, we still believe our vote counts (even though we have MAJOR concerns about GOP cheating).

...if that turnout pointed toward one candidate or the other winning through gaining the votes of a majority of U.S. citizens. As it is, a significant number of those turning out are Trumpists who are hoping that their votes will count enough in battleground states to elect their candidate despite him once again losing the overall vote. That isn't "democracy."
