I remain doubting malaise

[RVN VET71]

21. It's hard for me to believe that Trump's army of marching morons totaled 77,000,000 Americans

Hard but, sadly, not impossible.

If the 2024 vote was, in fact, manipulated, it will be interesting historically. But, in either case, there is nothing that can be done about it now. The troops are already preparing to invade American cities. Trump's brain trust: chiefly Miller but many mediocre others (Bondi, Carr, Hegseth, Patel, for example, but also SCOTUS' fascist leaning "conservatives", led by Roberts), are strategizing how to keep and broaden power by destroying and/or co-opting the remaining legal avenues of protest and law enforcement.

We are, in my opinion, fucked.

I will vote. Of course I will. But I feel that my vote is not going to matter much because the Fascist GOP has plans for their candidates in the next national election to cruise through to victory, winning Putinesque percentages of the vote.

All that's left for us (sans bloodshed) is to shut up and wait for the sound of the jackboot on the stairs or to write strongly worded letters from Yellow Knife, Canada.
