It's simple. Even if you assume Trump's ascension will be followed by free and fair elections, every Republican president drags the country's *baseline* to the right, and downwards, making any future action harder, and more futile. Without exception. Every time. It just gets harder, never easier.

There's no questioning that half of the reason everything seems so futile right now is because of what happened forty-four years ago, when I was 14 and Ronald Fucking Reagan was elected. But that's precisely why every election matters - because *that* one still does. We're still paying for it.

Seriously. It's like Sisyphus, except the goal is actually reachable. We just need to keep pushing.
