1. Which is why the GOP took over state and local governments first...

The inability to get people to vote and vote consistently and with informed intent is why we have slid all the way down the slippery slope into the sewer that Trump and his ilk inhabit.

Without a consistent, well-informed and engaged electorate, we get the government we deserve...the current shitshow and abhorrent gang of thieves, grifters and fools.

85% of the voters here did not care enough to show up at all.
85%.

Remember that when we are all stunned and staring into the abyss in a future November wondering, "how in the holy FUCK did THAT just happen?" Or allow the image to burn into your brain and commit to getting yourself and 5 other people to the polls in November. Hell, I may become an Uber driver for election day only...whatever we do, we MUST get people to the polls in November because when we show up en masse and vote, we win...otherwise...just look around.
