The nominee for the Republican Party, Donald Trump, is a squalid figure, and the squalor is not subtle. His vileness, his lawlessness, and his malevolence are undisguised. At this point, it is reasonable to conclude that those qualities are a central part of Trump’s appeal to many of the roughly 75 million people who will vote for him in three weeks. They revel in his vices; they are vivified by them. Folie à millions. ~ Peter Wehner, writing in The Atlantic.
This Election Is Different
No election prior to the Trump era, regardless of the outcome, ever caused me to question the fundamental decency of America.
What gets your attention gets you,
and what holds your attention is your god. ~ Willis Elliott, Thinksheet #1814
