There is a global cabal of elites who have been successful at controlling much of the globe and they don’t care about the parts they don’t control. They control (or ARE) the leftists in each country they can.
They own the Dems through and through (and most of the Pubs too). The actual Dem reps in DC are beholden through their peccadillos and by the money. Their supporters, liberals, are simply the most naive creatures in the world, and yes, I am including possums who think 10 lane highways are safe to cross.
If the Dems fail it means the leftist Cabal fails. I pray for this but I am not confident. I’d like to be, but I live among the Hollywood naive libs. They are sticking to their idiotic beliefs like those suckerfish who clean fish tanks. They can look at Hillary and see no crime. When they look at Trump they see nothing but crime. Each breath he takes is grounds for the death penalty.
As with many of my LA friends I think you are unduly colored by your surroundings. It’s not even close out here in the rest of America.
