    Personally, I think there’s too much of an industry around the spectacle of the election for it ever to be in danger. While many of the politicians and talking heads are idiots, the monied(sp?) interests know there is a benefit to the illusion and play both sides. Whether or not the think tanks like heritage foundation understand their role, idk, but the Koch brothers funding them did. But, all that being said, it feels like a lot of people have failed upward into positions of power that don’t have a clue. So, who knows? We could continue the slow steady collapse or some jackboot thug wannabe might get put into positions of too much power.🤷
