    the more headlines like this the more apathetic boomers wake up.

          Unfortunately we have to somehow weather this storm until at least November.

          To be clear, I don’t think the elections (if they happen) will change anything. BUT, I can tell you a lot of liberals that would otherwise be radicalized are holding onto this idea that “democracy will save us”. They will not be able to see reality until that hope comes crashing down. And even then many will still be in denial.

          But we’ll see a spike in radicalization come next Christmas. If we all survive long enough for that.
