One thing from my libertarian days that still makes sense is that in a democracy one vote can theoretically change what everyone has to do. A system that can make almost half the people miserable is deficient and should be used only as a last resort.

Rump didn’t get a mandate; whether he got a majority is debatable. The problem is that the US is split down the middle (like a tuchus, as an old family friend would say) and we don’t know how to deal with that.

I knew there are a lot of stupid mean people in this country, but I didn’t know they were a majority.
