    Do you blame Trump or the democrats who force candidates like Harris or Clinton as choices? The blame lies just as much with those who have an entirely unpopular view of how the country should function, forcing those in the middle to Trump/etc.

    Of course, much of this is due to continued polarization, notably in cities where socialism has grown popular and in the rural areas, where MAGA is rampant.

      Do I blame the people with all the power or the people with none? Hmm.

        Figuring out how we got here is how we figure out how to get out of here.

          What is there to figure out? Elections have consequences and the country is learning that the hard way... again.

          How we got here is Obama got elected and white people lost their goddamn minds about it.
