Here in California, a popular Democratic led single-payer healthcare plan was killed when the health insurance industry donated a million dollars to the state's Democratic party. Plus, these bastions of "free press" continue to allow Snowden and Assange suffer for their crime of exposing any number of civil liberty crimes against the citizens.
I abstained from voting in 2016. I voted Democrat straight ticket in 2020 (purely as a statement against the anti-science, anti-rational, Republican party) - but not without feeling like I was dipping my hand into dog vomit to take a bite of partially digested table scraps.
Dude, that opening paragraph is a killer. You'll never get a Times Op-Ed but it's worth the price of admission. That said, your observation "You may think that Trump is so unpopular today that his electoral viability is nil. He may be very unpopular today, but public opinion is highly malleable and mercurial" is so wildly off-base that I must place you or your audience squarely in the Bi-Coastal Lib Set. You seem to have no idea how popular he is; it's just that the libs can't or won't see it or why he is. He's the only guy out there who channels the grievances of the Forgotten, while millionaire octogenarian pols prattle on about pay-offs, trans rights and War in Ukraine Forever. This prosecution by a NYS attorney doesn't guarantee his reëlection but it certainly helps. Says me.

You give me little hope for the future but your smart column sure makes me laugh like hell.
