How could I have been so clueless?

Stupidly, for both Ige and Kim.

I have always been a fiscal conservative while being a social liberal.
Until the last federal election I had always voted for a Republican presidential candidate, ever since Goldwater.
My score card on other offices has been a bit more spotty, a lot of Democrats got my vote for other offices.

What I've recently realized is that I have helped dismantle all the progress of civil rights movement made by the Warren court through the 50's.
The justices appointed by Nixon and on have been been effectively dismantling that progress.
It will continue for at least the next generation.

Now that the Republican party has been crippled and almost completely destroyed by the radical religious right, the tea party types, the alt-rights and so on, we have the ignominy of being led by Trump.
That I can take no blame for.
For the first time, I voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.
AS much as I didn't like her, she was the lesser evil.

As you said in the thread title "How could I have been so clueless?". Nailed it, (inadvertently, no doubt).
