Disillusionment yes, nihilism no -- at least from my perspective. Just because we lose doesn't mean we were wrong. Facts are still facts.
My particular brand of disillusionment and nihilism doesn't come from despairing about the facts of our world, it comes specifically from the fact that many millions of people here in America simply do not care about the facts. Do.Not.Care. It's demoralizing to be outvoted by the uninformed.
