    It must be wild being in her position, being so overwhelmingly more capable than her opponent, and having to find out how to get stubborn people to acknowledge that and care about it.

        Definitely! I honestly had never thought of that because I didn’t take Donald Trump seriously until he was projected to win on voting day. I was dumbfounded and blown away. It was a big wake up call for me about how I was out of touch with a large part of America.

          Same in 2016. And I fell into the same exact trap this time around thinking ‘surely america has moved beyond that imbecile and his base is just weirdo alex Jones types. Surely america isn’t about to vote for a literal felon and rapist.’

          And now I’m watching daily as he or his peeps say one awful thing or another at rallies and it doesn’t move the polling needle at all.

          America is fucked regardless of who wins this election.
