Genny, my daughter, lives in Manila and works for the Asian Development Bank.  She speaks Ziegler Russian and been all over Eastern Europe in her career.(Z=Princeton H.S. plus Cornell minor in Russian)
Yesterday I was fretting about the possibility of the Republicans getting control again, and she said, "Oh Dad, live with it! In Poland after the fall of the Wall, elections swung back and forth each every-so-often, anti-Communist, then Communist, then anti-Communist.  Live with it.  That's democracy."
Just another insight?  Are we going to be a tin-pot democracy like Poland?
