I posted over on BIAD's thread but I will here too after further reflection.
I am in the "not-how-the-Framers-intended-an-election-should-go" camp. The Time articles simply tell the tale. It's like they are proud of it and want their revisionism chiseled into posterity as The Little Marxists Who Could. Brave warriors all, who brought down the Orange Ogre and put the Princess back on the throne.
At this point, no form of evidence will make a difference. It didn't matter with Russian collusion, SCOTUS nominations, the Summer of Love, and now the election. I need to work on getting over that. Those who see it, see it clear as day. Those who don't? Won't. Ever. So why get mad?
Lately I have had the notion that the latter are not healthy for the tribe but they are still part of the tribe none-the-less. Can't kick 'em out even though they would have no problem doing the same to me. So now what?
