Can confirm, gave up on the whole "Democracy will repair itself" thing after the election.

Call me naive, but I really had hope the majority of Americans would at minimum be willing to vote against a rapist/insurrectionist/fraud

gave up on the whole "Democracy will repair itself" thing after the election.

Comparing to russian opposition, it surprises me that "democracy will repair itself" is popular. It was understood somewhere in 2013 by nationalists, "right" and "left". "Democracy is a muscle, that needs to be excercised regularly" as Ekaterina Shulman (recently) said.
