The pachyderm in the room: the Trump *"presidency" is now and has always been

illegitimate. In every way that matters, we have no president; we have no leader. A massive Russian cyber invasion succeeded in fixing the electoral college vote for Trump despite his losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million.
For many, this reality is just too terrifying to acknowledge and so they are careful to always say that "there is no evidence that Russia's meddling affected the outcome" of the 2016 election. This is simply nonsense. The evidence is, in fact, overwhelming.
We are adrift in totally uncharted waters. Common sense compels people of integrity to ask some very difficult questions which can be combined into "How can ANYTHING which depends on Trump's legitimacy be legitimate?"
How can Pence be VPOTUS?
How can Gorsuch---or any other judicial appointment by Trump---be legitimate? How can any decision in which they participate be valid?
The list of questions is nearly endless and the possibilities are frightening. But, I wonder: what is the cost of ignoring them?
