“She was evicted from her home of 23 years in February and died in May, while homeless, just days short of her 71st birthday."
There was a time in this country when evictions were so rare they sparked riots. Now people are forced out of their homes every single day, and we barely bat an eye.

Yes the consequence of this narrow win could be enormous, but the results far from suggest one party is dominant and the other a broken failure.
With incumbents getting clobbered globally, if anything Trump is comparatively weak.
