4. Yes. The right-wing hate machine had rendered the country ungovernable by 2016.

The 2016 election was doomed to produce a national shitshow no matter who won. With tens of millions of Deplorables driven into a frothing frenzy, and Republican politicians hell-bent on going beyond obstructionism to the point of governmental sabotage and even treason, the nation was doomed to the sort of dumpster fire we now watch in horror whether Trump or Hillary gained the office.

I've often thought to myself that, although the 2016 election was a tragedy for the nation and the world, the outcome was the luckiest break possible in Hillary Clinton's personal life. My hope for the near future is that, as Donald Trump drowns in this cesspool of his own making, he drags the obscenely destructive right-wing propaganda machine down with him.
