1/3
We feared they would try to subvert the election. It's worse: They didn't need to.
We asked how, given his obvious unfitness & fascism, the election could be close. But it wasn't even close.
We deplored the injustice of the electoral college. But he won the popular vote, too.
We can't say the majority didn't understand who he is. He recklessly boasted about dismantling democracy and persecuting his enemies (which is to say, many of us). And 70 million of our neighbors said, "Let's do it."
