And, yes, I do know that our current predicament is 30 years in the making, and will take years to fix. I've been working with these groups since 2015, banging the drums, trying to explain to Ds & Rs that our govt(s) (at all levels!) are weak, and easily targeted by foreign & domestic actors due to widespread gerrymandering, high incumbency rates, low primary engagement, and first-past-the-post voting. Our naysayers are — as always — far-right groups interested in autocracy and oligarchy.
