I never envisioned a majority of Republicans actually casting their lot with #45, to actually fall for this now-lethal reality-infomercial washout. I always had some tiny measure of faith that most Americans, in an extreme case, would stand united against a common threat.
But now, that's impossible. Republicans/Trumpists ARE the threat. To them, down is up, dark is light, etc. Their figurehead is a repulsive, crude, inept, incompetent, artificial "businessman" who is "not literary minded." They've surrendered their will to that one man. For the first time in my life (and I was born mid-20th century), I know we are venturing into territory we've never been before, in ways that are very negative and destructive. I have a deep, sickening sensation that this is what will soon be called normal, when things are extremely far from okay, in a way I've never perceived before.
Preaching to the choir, I know. My apologies. I had to vent a bit.
