Sure but omg, describing Trump as "not smug" is hilarious.

You are right about some combination of the media and political system failing the country, that much is clear.

He’s just as smug. I’m sure a lot of people love watching him fall too. I think he’s enjoying the chaos he’s causing and I don’t find it as enjoyable. Relegating him you irrelevance would have been the best thing.

We don't have a media environment capable of relegating Trump into irrelevance.

I do take some pleasure in his prosecutions, while also acknowledging that it could very well propel him into the presidency once again.

Not that it really matters. Trumpism is the GOP, now. We're gonna invade Mexico, eradicate transexualism, and do whatever Putin wants. I mean... this is literally an anti-American platform.

And I'm with spencerflem, yeah I'm voting for Biden b/c pragmatism, and it'll be with a very, VERY slight amount of enthusiasm, mostly based in the fact that I'm staving off fascism for one more general election cycle.

The GOP needs to reinvent itself. It won't.
