1. I didn't underestimate TSF. I underestimated the hundreds to thousands of

People in government (officials, lawyers, judges, etc.,), business, and finance who were willing to do anything to achieve their own selfish goals, get close to power, undermine the country and constitution, and destroy citizens’ lives.

The number of those narcissistic sociopaths far exceeded the number of people with integrity.

He didn’t do this on his own and couldn’t have done it on his own.

2. No

The biggest overestimating was that there were not as many truely ignorant and awful people in America as there are.
People as always are the problem.
Not to leave out the pundants still who want me to believe they have the answers to the problem when they haven't reflected on themselves and their culpability for one single second.

3. It's the voters, stupid

How do you underestimate a guy who’s on the hook for about $90 million for violating a woman at a department store and gyrates to canned music for 39 minutes at a town hall? Just to pick out two of hundreds of grotesqueries. In the America I grew up in this guy would never have made it to first base.
