the voter apathy or neglect extended to many racially mixed districts that turned out for Obama but not Hillary. (or trump for that matter) As far as how anyone paying attention could vote for someone like trump, I'm completely with you on that. I felt the same when they voted in these congressional do nothings going back to Reagan and continuing through the GWB years. Our rights have been eroding for years, for no reason other than laziness, stupidity, ignorance or a combination of all three. When you say nothing much has changed, I say yes it has, it's worse.
