28. There's analysis like this from the best of us who look out for one another. But I cannot help but to conjure up

every time there is an atrocity, people like this, the unserious voters in the middle who helped make these deaths a reality.



I've lost hope in thinking disconnected unserious voters will do anything but continue to support the GOP and their Russian propagandist masters. That is, until they're affected directly, until it is them who are being targeted by the GOP. Until they wake up out of their zombie state of existence and start thinking of the suffering their actions are causing, the chaos in America will continue. With 3 more years and maybe not even then? A future looks bleak.
