And it's so easy to look at his face...and think of his legendary parents. (Not Woody Allen. )

He shows a clear light on three individuals that participated in the secessionist riot. I'm tempted to not give credence to a young and entitled person but Ronan has produced some great work so far.

if there is a common thread to trump followers. I know a few personally. They come from all kinds of backgrounds, incomes, education, sexual orientation, etc. The only thing that maybe I can come up with is they seem to feel like their life isn’t what they dreamed it might be. That they were somehow promised something, I’m not sure by who, or were owed something by society or the country maybe, and didn’t get it. Nothing is their own fault, they’re blamers. Finger pointers. But no finger ever pointed at themselves. Idk. Just my latest theory, probably incorrect.

A hardcore, brainwashed Republican.

I've not asked about his support for tRump but told him after tRump was put in office that I could not stand the fraud. Brother didn't try to defend him.

But you've nailed many rethugians there.
