i, for one, struggle with nuking the fantasy.

if expecting democracy to [at the bare minimum] function equitably in spite of the baked in loopholes.. IF it was ever meant to be a viable system, which i thought and was taught and believed it WAS...

and a blood-thirsty, overt carney, snake-oil salesman, and king-baby-racist rolls into town...

isn't that considered more a reckoning than a fantasy?
