    Look, real question is how did a group this incompetent get elected? Report confirms: can’t collude or obstruct as they’d like due to incompetence. Would they have gotten anywhere without Facebook embeds, for example? All the media failures? That’s what requires soul searching.

        I’m not being snarky. The next one to step into this moment/realignment won’t be incompetent. Best way forward is to understand the vulnerabilities that make us susceptible.

        Ignorance as innocence. For all of us, I guess.

        Sometimes incompetence looks like criminal activity.

        In government, incompetence often *is* criminal activity. The best defense, in such cases, is that incompetence is normal and reasonable. 😒

        Your average American wants little more than for some rich asshole to treat them like shit. It's like catnip to most people.

        How does a group this incompetent STAY IN POWER?!?? If we ever get a competent would-be autocrat for president, we’re well and truly done for.

        The groups you're missing: GOP and FOX. Would Trump win if both stuck put country ahead of party and profits?

        It’s a popularity contest, you don’t need to do things correctly to be popular

        And racism is very, very popular in the US. Not popular vote popular. Not come out en masse and celebrate at the inauguration popular. But popular enough for the racist hold over known as the Electoral College
