You need perspective though. This was started in the 30's and 40's by FDR who was copying mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and Tammany Hall of NY. They built a machine. There were people who threw wrenches into the machine (Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon, Regan and Trump) and there were Dems who had no idea that it even existed or were unable to correctly use it (Truman and Carter). But all levels of government were infiltrated by people unafraid to apply their political beliefs in civilian jobs so long as they are pro-democrat. That's how we got PBS news bias and Lois Learner and the FBI handling of the 'Russian Collusion'. You don't see republicans able to use their federal jobs to push republican ideology.
But the difference is we can put sunlight on it now. In the past 5 years, they had to start outright cheating. They had to go to extraordinary lengths to keep hold of the power they created. We're not falling behind, we're destroying an aging system set up to let a group retain power indefinitely. Just keep pushing people to pages like this and others that throw sunlight on to 'news' and the movement will keep growing. These are the times where we do the work that leads to better times....
Everybody knows Trump won by alot. The fact this shit show is able to continue shows just how deep the swamp is. Incredibly deep.
