3. "I have a sense of doom and gnawing sense that the election was dirtier than hell."

I got rid of cable ten years ago, I have only internet access and stream – I haven’t watched cable news for that long and don’t miss it.

And it’s not you who has sunk low, it’s the country; the problems you note illustrate an America that has gone insane – the installation of a convicted felon, criminal, and rapist as ‘president’ is further proof of that.
