Huder thread. Trump is a nasty aberration, yes, but he’s only part of a bigger trend. This country is really divided, electorally*, and this only part of a bigger battle.

I’ve probably posted this before, but I think, as long as I’m working with Microsoft software, I’ll be saying this with bitter sarcasm.
Gave me heart attack.

This is why Kavanaugh matters (duh). But also why elections matter.
