I have noticed a bit of a jump in defeatism on the site possibly a result of the SCOTUS ruling last week but unfortunately I just think we have a lot of folks who have just been thoroughly routed by Trump and have resigned themselves to that fate. You see that anytime someone posts negative polling or a negative outcome for Trump, followed by bleating about how nothing matters.
