I wish I shared your optimism.  My gut tells me you're right.  After watching less than a year of Trump, how could this country vote for more?  And yet, I didn't give him a snowball's chance in 2016, but there he is, a sociopathic narcissist running the country.  And if you've watched Republicans being interviewed across the country, but particularly in the South, they're standing with him as if in some sort of Stockholm Syndrome.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2018 and 2020. There may still be time to save the country from any long term effects.
