There is really NOT much more of “us” than “them” as we want to believe. A good portion are easily swayed by mis/disinformation tactics. That is part of the reason Hillary Clinton lost. Also, a good portion of “us” are those who only wanted Trump out and still voted Republican into other positions.

I think there are a lot more people who want what the readers of these pages want. The issue is participation. I believe we got to this tragic place because of apathy. We stare at our phones and our big TVs - as motivated "movement conservatives" and "right wing ultra religious nutcases" take charge with lies, voter restrictions, redistricting and now....we see the impact of jamming the courts with Federalist Society robots.
There are enough of us to keep the ship of democracy afloat, if we get off our butts. The internal enemies of our nation have been better organized and more energetic.
