cast a spell on Germany... literally magic

In early 2017 I realized liberals and liberalism itself wasn't ever going to deal with the anger and frustration that gave rise to Trump. I knew in my bones that they were never going to consider why people like an out-of-work autoworker in a dying Rust Belt town would vote for Trump. The dems were just going to give speech after speech on themes like "This isn't who we are!" I have to admit I expected they would at least make passionate pleas and strident, forceful comments.

I wasn't clever enough to realize they'd be Schumer's level of bloodless and feckless before every election that this is the most important election of our lifetime. It's been almost seven years and there's been zero introspection by the dem machine. They're waiting and waiting and waiting for the public to snap out of their Trump spell and vote for democracy.
