    Unfortunately I think the biggest part of my ongoing wake up call is not the need for radical change, but that my disillusionment with the American people got even worse. I can only hope that a very large amount of Trump’s support is from ignorance, because there’s definitely a lot of enthusiastic informed support of him too.

    But there’s a lot more of us than there are of them

    I want to believe. I know there are more decent caring people than billionaire capitalists, but are there more decent caring people than the capitalists PLUS their boot lickers PLUS their useful idiots? And with the momentum going in the wrong direction?

    In total it seems like we are much more likely to be rescued by a small platoon of extremely motivated and self-sacrificing Luigis, rather than our society at large actually wanting to fix itself.
