For some of us, the Russian meddling is the biggest thing that has happened in politics since JFK was assassinated. We have a foreign country - some would call Russia our enemy - has directly interfered in our election which was the oddest and most surprising election of our time. It is is entirely possible that a foreign government helped our President get elected. If that isn't bad enough, Trump is very pro Russian, and might have worked together directly with the Russian government to steal our election.

On top of this, Trump is acting like it's "no big deal" and we should just drop it.

We are six months in and he has accomplished NOTHING.
Some interesting data that clarifies some things about turnout:



(Apologies if this came out giant - what is the html to reduce it?)

You can see that people who strongly disapprove of Trump will vote at 61% and people who lean republican and strongly approve of Trump vote at 65% and 72% respectively. This perhaps explains how polls, which try to capture representation rather than enthusiasm, can be so wrong.
