Chaos, violence, legal challenges, voter suppression and party suppression all culminated in the pathetic display of democratic degeneration on Election Day.

George Carlin warned all good Americans to think critically at their own peril. Although life has now become somewhat difficult…even lonely at times, I have forsaken his fascetious advice.
