    Trump winning getting carried by the EVs made me a bitter, jaded, hopeless husk. I lost faith in the republic, in america, in people, in common sense…

    I don’t know if I ever truly recovered.

    Come to think of it, i’ve lived through at least two instances where the direct opposition of the public’s will have lead to death, suffering, and the collapse of represenative democracy: Bush v Gore, and the Trump Presidency. Odd how that’s a common trend.
