One the one hand, I'm with you 100%. That was also my gut reaction to the comment you replied to.

But I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not an accurate representative of America. You and I are outliers, and Trump is a better representation of Americans than either of us right now. And we got here with complacency.

So yes, I agree with everything you said, but also Americans as a whole, including you and I, are failing. We're losing the battle, and real people are really suffering. Maybe we can each do more, or maybe not, but it does not change the reality that what we are doing is not enough. Sometimes you try your best and you still lose.

That's not an argument against trying. But maybe we reevaluate our tactics and our goals. Maybe we won't be able to win hearts and minds by taking the high road. Maybe America doesn't deserve peace and complacency.
