    If by that you mean the establishment’s dogged refusal to deliver what voters want and insistence that everything’s fine, I agree.

      I wholeheartedly support a shift in our representatives such that they actually represent our interests instead of big corporations’ and billionaires’ interests, but those kind of changes come from the bottom up, not the top down, and even if that weren’t the case, even an imperfect democratic president would have been better than Trump.

      While I could believe you when you imply that Trump got voted in by voters lashing out, that’s hardly a good way to repair a failing democracy. How many deaths can we lay at this administration’s feet, just this term? I hope these voters are aware that their vote for Trump made that happen, when it comes time for votes in the future.
