(25,183 posts)but I can't be flip about this subject. I'll be 63 next month, and while I wasn't old enough to vote in 1968, I sure was able to read newspapers and magazines, and watch TV news.
You have a phenomenon that leads every night on the evening news, and Trump is providing the narration to the story. I saw how Nixon used the code words "Law and Order" to cause fear in the hearts of middle and working class voters, and he won, even with George Wallace bleeding off both popular and electoral votes from the worst of the racists.
I'm a bit frightened about how the optics will play out in the midterms.

(480 posts)But the point I'm driving here, while the idea of Muslims crossing the boarder is intended to strike fear into the hearts of the his base, Trump is actively providing cover for a grisly murder committed by a Muslim Royal.
If we had committed ourselves to renewable energy, like the Germans, we would be taking the moral high ground with these backwards fools, instead of groveling and providing cover for their crimes.

(25,183 posts)who think that the caravan is something that will have no real effect on the midterms. I didn't mean to pick on you particularly.
Everything that Trump has ever had, whether it's political, personal, or financial, he obtained by exploiting crises, and manufacturing them when he had to.
