I continue to believe the counter to Trumpism is rising above it, not stooping to its level. Give Americans a real alternative, not a similar attitude with different policies. “Never argue with an idiot.

Like, can you really see a Dem, right now, winning Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin? Plus NC & Florida? I can't see them winning all 5, and they need to to get the EC votes.

I don't know. A lot will happen between now and then.

Fair. I'm a super pessimist on the Dems chances...I have no faith in my fellow American's ability to make a rational choice based on evidence ha

As Wolfe writes in "The Future of Liberalism," liberals are at a disadvantage because they believe in the rule of law and in liberal values, and so they fight with one hand tied behind their backs relative to those who don't.

The GOP controls so much based becaus they don't. Historical gerrymandering via the Redmap project; stacking courts with extremists; stealing SCOTUS seat; obstructionism; voter suppression; accepting foreign and domestic interference; Southern Strategy and xenophobia; etc.

Trump doesn't need to actually win with the public to win again in 2020. He didn't in 2016. In fact, only one GOP potus has in since the Clinton Administration in '93. And that win itself was controversial due to voter suppression efforts in GOP controlled states.

We live under minority rule because the minority is an ascendant authoritarian, neofascist movement that cheats and lies because it dispises liberalism and its proceduralism. Don't be surprised if and when they win again.
-
The only way to surely defeat this ascendant authoritarianism is through incontrovertable Democratic leads in polling. But that's tough. This authoritarianism is ascending because enough of the electorate supports it that it can cheat within the margin of error.

Geography matters. You'd have to have a Democrat sweep some Midwest states and I just can't see that happening with the cultural Revanchism so prevelant here
