Here we have a voice from the Washington Post to tell us about the danger to our democracy posed by Trump and his "minions"---And that danger?  Life seems less fun; people of her social class are a little less comfortable, sitting on their Washington stoop and holding court over the problems faced by our society, through the lense of their insulated little bubble:  The future seems ominous.

The future became ominous for our country, and the ideal of liberty, when the power of democracy was seized by a handful of greedy people for their own benefit; when a state of perpetual warfare was equated with the health of the nation; when we began rubber stamping, with our votes, a process which took wealth, peace, and security from major swaths of the world so that we could have it here in our little neighborhoods, standing on the backs of 2/3rds of the world's (poor) people.

The kind of blithe ignorance exhibited here is exactly why we stand at this crossroads---So spare us the lecture.
