The worst part is those SAME people are claiming we are overreacting about the real chance he wins again...

Not me. I was a myopic "you are overreacting" person in 2016. I didn't like Hillary, but I also didn't think DT would win, and if he did I didn't think he would be much worse, just bad in different ways.

I admit that I was shortsighted, uninformed, and completely wrong. On the upside, I pay way more attention than I used to, and I have been disabused of my notion that nothing would ever change (for better or worse) as a result of the pendulum of politics.
