Frank's Musings

What Trump accomplished in 2916 was to have recognized that there was a sizable group of disaffected voters in the country that could be inspired to vote in key states which might represent sufficient electoral college votes to give him the presidency. Fortunately for him the liberal democratic left didn’t suspect that and let their ambivalence prevent a strong response. Therefore, they sheepishly conceded victory to an anti-institutional agent of chaos.

The 2020 election results showed that when efficiently aroused by the destructive performance of a president like Trump the majority of citizens who cherished the existence of a functioning liberal democracy, dominated by either political party, was certainly preferable to a democracy in name only, headed by an authoritarian ruler, competent or not.
