A magnificent if not scary summation of the shit show our conservative friends have built. Rather than address your well documented paper, I just jotted down some of the phrases that jumped out to me. 1) "How is this possible?" 2) "cult - surrender one's brain" 3) "connective tissue is white supremacy" 4) "cucks win the despicable award" 5) "21 House Republicans voted against awarding medals to the police officers who protected their very lives" 6) "Political and religious leaders feed the spiritual battle story against evil liberals." That said, I am proud to be an evil liberal...and frankly scared about what is about to happen to our once great nation.

Another excellent piece. During the Iran Hostage situation, I watched the demonstrations by so-called "students" and thought they looked mesmerized and in a trance as they chanted "Death to America". Today, I see the same look at Trump rallies. I also can't stop wondering how intelligent people of good conscience can be "all in" for Trump. Maybe they're neither intelligent nor of good conscience. I used to be a proud American; now I'm just scared.
