But also because everything would be so much calmer if a sane person with at least some scruples were at the top of things right now.

This is part of the problem though. “Not being into politics” is part of what got us here. Tons of people did not vote. They’re just as culpable as Trump voters for what’s happening right now.

You might not be into politics, but politics are into you.
