It is hard to imagine the shock and horror associated with the election of 2016 have been exceeded. But they have been. A president guilty of mass murder, of serial corruption, of crimes against humanity, of being a traitor...and those who enabled, supported, and protected him...
...have not been repudiated, have retained power. Trump aside, think of the message being sent by returning McConnell and his mob to the majority. Think how they will take it. Think what they will read into tonight's results.
And they will be right if they draw the conclusion that a major, unwavering bloc of Americans do not care about democracy or the rule of law or fairness or decency or even about human life, that they are motivated by racism and by greed and by twisted ideologies.
You can't see tonight-regardless of the eventual outcome of the presidential contest-as anything other than irreversible proof that our system is broken, our society is broken, we're on a path that unreversed will lead to the end of democracy, greatness & even goodness in the US.
