It’s been 100+ years since the last time we cracked even 65% eligible voter turnout for presidential elections. Most of the time it has been way below that, and drastically less for congressional, state and local. Social media and the 24 hour news cycle conditions people to think that many more care about politics and culture than actually really care, at least enough to vote about it one way or the other.
The truly horrific thing is that I can’t really picture things being any better if more people deigned to vote. Pretty much the opposite in fact.

The problem is what POTUS Trump campaigned on: The Swamp,Fake News and most importantly making America great again. If we evaluate these three items,we are not doing well as a result of this crisis and the the left’s hijacking of it. The left controls majority of government,majority of education,majority of media and majority of the voters. I sometimes think the Trump era is an anomaly.
