Pretty much this. I wouldn't be half as worried about this if there were a viable opposition. I think the truth is that people disliked Hillary, but also severely underestimated Trump's chances of winning. To most of the country it seemed safe to stay home, since there's no possible way that Trump could actually win, right? But remember how pathetic the Democrats' opposition was to W? Or to the Republicans in Congress when they had the White House? I'm consistently amazed at the Democrats' singular ability not to have their shit together. They passed the ACA by a thread, and have been demonized for it. People are only now realizing that hey, maybe repealing it isn't a good idea, but the Democrats have been at best incidental to that. Good call on the donations. Grabbing some EFF swag as we speak (with a donation on top).
