I was a proud alarmist* myself during the run up to the election, but I've pretty much given it up now as a futile endeavor. Those people who needed to listen didn't, and I'm not particularly interested in educating them now.
[*the problem with your definition of course, enigma, is use of the term "sufficient reason"...as though it must be a single discoverable, and quantifiable scientific fact. It isn't.]
My father has a saying: "It's never wise to separate a fool from his mistakes." In the case of the US electorate as a whole, that couldn't be done by any force on earth anyway, so the electorate will learn it's lesson one way or the other. It's beginning to realize it made a monumental mistake giving the Dems the keys to the treasury (and everything else), but unfortunately, I don't think the lesson will be learned in time to correct the error. Even two years from now, much of the damage will be irreparable.
I reserve all my sympathy now only for people like me...who voted for the other guys.
I have none for the electorate as a whole.
