Yes, I think the election was fair.  But I do believe that had the Russians not hacked social media with falsehoods about Clinton, the fair election would have seen Hilary the victor.

It's water under the bridge, as they say.

On another note, I've recently curbed my optimism a little when I see the spread of charter schools, and other forms of privatizing public education. 

The goal here is not as obvious as it is in Iran where the elite have teamed up with the religious government. to privatize their public education.

Or is it?  Koch bros, Bill Gates, Bush, Clinton, and Obama, not to mention the Trump travesty, Betsy De
Vos.

Even though Jan 6 participants, and all the conspiracy nuts are products of public education, or some religious schools, prior to the first charter school, public education is a must if democracy is to be enjoyed and supported by all its citizens. It needs improving.
