Amen, Ben. I'm not even halfway through this, but am so thankful you wrote it. I think this is exactly it--people use the same arguments (ie. the aforementioned "All politicians are the same," "My vote doesn't count," & "lesser of two evils" without actually understanding that this election is vastly different & possibly the most vital thus far in any voter's lifetime. We seem to have a collective, delusional "that could never happen here" sentiment & tune out the virulent, vitriolic rhetoric as harmless. But political nerds like myself, and students of history very much understand how much is at stake here. And it scares the f out of me
