We are losing this election as it stands right now. Crazy? Of course.
But an aging actor who played a President in the role of his lifetime was elected twice in this country.
Whatever the reason: racism, ignorance, image over substance, etc. - here we are. In a country just barely recovering from the reckless and treasonous actions of the right wing, the electorate is about to choose a ultra-rich white guy with a faux-intellectual reactionary running mate, both beholden to the lunatic fringe, over the effectively hobbled sitting President - the land of the 'fraid and the home of the (brain) freeze. Make no mistake - we'll be f&^%ed for the rest of many of our lives.
Maybe it's time to realize - it's not a great country, it's a stupid one and it's controlled by idiots. Whatever, but wake up - we are losing.
