  • One theory for why Trump won is that he was so ridiculous that a lot of democrats thought there was no way he could win, so they stayed home on election day. I don’t know if that’s true exactly, but I know that democracy requires participation and traditionally the more people who actually vote in an election, the greater likelihood of a democratic win.

    So yeah, I stand by my caution against complacency. No election is going to win itself, or win other elections, as implied by the dominoes metaphor. Our country will continue deteriorating until people who care actually fight, for real, in a prolonged, sustainable way. The other side never stops fighting.
