I think there is a sizable chunk of the population still under the delusion that all we have to do is ride out the next 3 years. Then there will be another free & fair election, Trump & the GOP will quietly secede power, and everything will simply return to normal.

Nothing like that will happen.

Embarrassing for the Nobel Ctee which chose her, for Machado for abasing herself (likely for nothing), for Americans, who now own Trump's every aberrant moment in the office they gifted him, and for America, forever.
