Obviously, you're more of an idealist than I am. I'm a pragmatist at heart. I never expect to get 100% of what I want. Hell, I think it's a good day if I get 70% of what i want. I didn't realize that I was a pragmatist until the 2017 election campaign, however. Our problems, however, are a result of much more than merely the republicans are sinking to new lows. That's a very narrow provincial view. The entire world is leaning right and life is never going to return to "normal". Pay attention to world politics and you'll soon see that it's not all about us. There are forces outside our boundaries that are slowly but surely redefining daily life in the US. We're not the only game in town any longer. A world shift in power is taking place. So, with all of that in mind, the last thing we need is for the craziest cult in America to run the show.
