I'm concerned that what brings change won't be a smarter electorate, but instead losing a war or having another civil war.

I'm somewhat politically conservative, and I still cannot make any sense of the plurality that voted Trump into office again. I really wonder if I'm in some kind of echo chamber that prevents me from understanding their perspective.

Their grievances begin with Reaganomics, then NAFTA, then the war in Afghanistan. All Republican projects. Now, instead of directing the blame where it belongs, they've adopted an even more 'enlightened' and destructive form of conservativism that abides corruption in broad daylight.

I mean, I understand the ‘burn the world down’ perspective. I just don’t think it’s particularly productive.
